The seller offers for sale this 1974 Volvo 164E, powered by a 3.0-litre 6-cylinder fuel-injected engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in light blue metallic with a black leather interior, the car has been restored, with the engine rebuilt and the automatic transmission checked over by a specialist, and maintenance has largely been carried out by professionals. Over the past seven years the car has been kept under cover in a parking garage, brought out only once a year for a recreational drive through Europe, and it is now being offered for sale for personal reasons.
Introduced in 1968, the Volvo 164 was the brand’s flagship saloon of its era, sharing its basic body with the four-cylinder 144 but with a longer nose to accommodate a straight-six engine, positioning it as a genuine rival to the premium German saloons of the day. From 1972, the 164E added Bosch electronic fuel injection to the six-cylinder engine, sharpening performance and refinement while retaining the model’s reputation for solid, over-engineered construction and safety, values Volvo built its name on throughout this period.
With its smooth six-cylinder engine and automatic transmission, the 164E is set up as an effortless, comfortable cruiser, very much in keeping with its role as Volvo’s top-of-the-range model. The understated, boxy styling and spacious, well-built cabin remain typical of the marque, and this particular example’s careful, low-use history over the past seven years adds real appeal for a buyer seeking a well-preserved, usable example of Volvo’s 1970s flagship.
