"Volvo's flagship model from the 80s in a usable and appealing condition."

Description

As Volvo's flagship model of the 80s, this 780 is very well-equipped, featuring a high-quality stereo system, glass sunroof, cruise control, leather seats that are electrically adjustable, automatic transmission, and an electric antenna. The air conditioning has not been tested due to the cold weather. This particular car is imported and equipped with Volvo's own B230FT with Turbo+. In Sweden, the 780 was only sold with Renault's V6 engine, which was not very reliable. This car was brought to Sweden as moving goods by the second owner in 1999. The current owner has owned the car since 2011 and is the third owner. The original receipt from USA is still available and comes with the car. The Volvo has received regular maintenance, including a timing belt change this September. New tires were installed this spring. It has also been fitted with new shock absorbers all around, including Nivomat on the rear axle. The engine runs smoothly, and the automatic transmission shifts as it should. A comfortable car to drive. An unusual and luxurious model from Volvo. All Volvo 780 Bertone models were assembled in Milan, where all parts were shipped from Gothenburg. This was a requirement from Bertone, who was responsible for the design. The odometer reads 113,412 miles. It seems that this figure is accurate.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    Works well in engine and drivetrain. The brakes work as they should. The stereo's display turns off occasionally but the stereo still functions. The amplifier in the trunk is not connected. AC - uncertain function. The engine compartment is clean and tidy, and the car was fitted with new tires last spring.

  • Interior condition

    The interior is in good condition. Nice seats with signs of use, mainly the driver's seat. The back seat has black marks on the left side, see pictures. The headliner has some stains, see pictures. The floor mats also have some stains. The sunroof is functioning properly. The dashboard has some cracks, see pictures. The wood inlays are somewhat faded and cracked in the finish. The trunk is clean and tidy.

  • Exterior condition

    The paint is in normal condition for a car that has been used for just over 30 years. There are a few small dents and paint imperfections, which are hard to see in pictures. The bumper plastic is somewhat scratched. Nice straight panels and an undercarriage in normal condition for the age of the car.

  • General condition

    A well-maintained car featuring the elegant Bertone design. This, combined with the reliable 2.3-liter turbo engine, makes it a fun and practical vehicle.

Facts about the model

The Volvo 780 was produced between 1985 and 1990 and was Volvo's most expensive car, costing twice as much as a regular 740. The Volvo 780 is a coupe version of the Volvo 760/740, designed by the Italian company Bertone and was manufactured in limited quantities, primarily for the American market. The car resembles its sister models in the 700 series, the Volvo 740 and Volvo 760, but was externally a completely new body. The Volvo 780 was manufactured from 1985 to 1990 in 8,518 units and was assembled in Italy by Bertone.
