Volvo's before; you may even have owned a 240 or three. However,
MotoeXotica Classic Cars turned up a true Swedish rarity - a Volvo
with a soul. Intrigued? Continue reading... Made in June 1988 by
Carrozzeria Bertone in Turin, Italy, this car was delivered to Jim
Fisher Volvo in Toledo, Ohio, where it was sold on August 13, 1988.
This car was just one of 2,334 780s made in 1988 and it is only one
of 8,518 copies made between 1985 and 1990. Finished in Champagne
Silver, the paint is in very good condition, with just minor
blemishes visible upon close examination. The glass panes are in
very good order and the rear window comes with an electric
defroster. Rolling on Michelin Primacy MXV43 tires, 205/60R15, at
all four corners and wrapped around factory alloy vented wheels.
All of the body panels on this car are straight and solid, the
engine bay is very tidy and the battery looks new. Under the hood
is a 2.8L V-6 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.
Driver assist features include air conditioning, power steering,
power brakes, power locks, power mirrors, power windows and a
remote trunk release in the glove box. Inside, the car's gray
interior is understated but has two eye-catchers; black seat
inserts and light-colored woodgrain instrument and door trim that
help balance the monotonous gray. Those seats are in very good
order by the way, and the front buckets appear to have been
designed by a team of chiropractors. They're wide, comfortable,
have eight-way power adjustments and come with heating elements!
The black carpet is in similar condition to the seats and the gray
headliner is in good order. The instrument panel, with a full array
of gauges, is in very good condition and the four-spoke steering
wheel has an airbag. The door panels, center console and gearshift
lever are all in good to very good shape. Another standout feature
is between the front seats, a factory AM/FM stereo with cassette
deck and a separate equalizer that was only found in recording
studios in 1988. It spans a range from 60Hz to 10 kHz. Even the
clock still ticks in this car! Most equipment on the car is
believed to be original except for - the battery, tires, tow hitch
and protective headlight covers. Car has a clean vehicle history,
no accidents, no negative reports, no manufacturer recalls. The
Volvo 780�coup�debuted at the International Auto Show in Geneva,
Switzerland in 1985, marking Volvo's return to the two-door coup�
market following the departure of the�262C�in 1981. The 780 became
available in Europe in 1986 and in United States a year later. The
hood, trunk, and rooflines were all slightly lower than the
standard 700 series profile, and the C-pillar was wider and had a
more gradual slope down to the trunk. Headroom was improved over
the 262C because of Bertone's one�centimeter lowering of the
roofline. Window frames all had black matte trim, and were accented
with chrome. Chrome also highlighted the door handles, bumpers, and
side moldings. Competition to this Volvo 780 in 1988 included
Acura's Legend, Infiniti's M30, Mercedes-Benz's 300 CE Coupe and
Cadillac's Eldorado. Extensive documentation includes the original
