VERY CLEAN AND TIDY FOR YEAR OF MANUFACTURE. THE CAR HAS BEEN STORED IN A SHED FOR TEN YEARS THAT IS WHY THE MILEAGE IS SO LOW.
WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS TO SHOW THE CAR IN THE SHED.

Still looking high and low for a drivers seat that hasn’t been chewed by a puppy.

Bought this car in 1993 after it had been parked outside for 4 years.

If have dropped the B27 engine, and put in a chevrolet 5,7 litres v8 and turbo350 automatic.
It is a very quick car.

26

I have a 1977 modell.

27

Interior in great shape, engine and body needs work. I have owned the car since
new and have most of the service records still on file. I’m getting too old
to look after the car the way it should be done and will consider any reasonable offer.

28

Still in great condition, had some replacement done by a certified Volvo mechanic.
I would like more info on the motor if possible.

31

I’ve put auto transmission, and B28 engine,
I’ve had my 262C converted to a re-built, 1983 B23 four-cylinder for practicality.
Am I the only one who has done this?
Most likely, since it is no longer a collector’s item.
Would like to know thoughts on this…

32

Had converted from 6-cyl to trusty B-23 4 cyl & manual transmission.
Need windshield & paint job
I love this car.

33

90% “mint”. runs perfect. everything works. Love this car!

34

Looking for parts and/or buyers for my 262 v-8 converted

36

37

Not quite all original. Motor 21B, canadian head .01″ greater lift. 4 speed and O.D.
Volvo GT anti-sway bars, 2 1/4″ turbo exaust from the cat back. Slow as a tank but style all the way

38

I own a ’77 262 C since 1991. It’s #253, one of the first cars around. I’m the third owner of this original car. It has 215’000km on the clock but made over 190’000km in the first ten years. In 1987 it was resprayed in original silver met. and I changed the motor (took one from a ’79 265 with 120’000km). It’s a nice driver during summer. I never drove it in winter (only 2 months in ’93 as my daily driver break down).
Now I want to sell it because of an new experience with a Jaguar.

39

De auto is aangekocht van de eerste eigenaar en is in Nederland geheel gerestaureerd.
Is origineel en niet gelast.
Het enige niet originele aan de auto is de automaat met overdrive die er ondergebouwd is om de auto aanzienlijk stiller te maken.
I bought this original Volvo 262 Coupe in America from the first owner Mr. Phan Nguyen in Westminster CA.
The car is never been welded and still original.
When the car was imported to Holland we stripped the complete body and repainted the car because the paint was very damaged. Also the interior is completely restored in original shape. By rebuilding the car we placed an automatic gearbox with overdrive.
At this moment the Volvo 262 Coupe is in a exellent shape and very nice to drive.
Also the engine is completely overhauled.

43

This vehicle is in pristine interior condition. After 20 years rust is starting to take its toll but only at the wheel wells and the cowling. I plan to restore the body, paint it jet black to match the roof and interior. A Volvo specialist in Calgary is anxious to drop the Peugeot V-6 in favour of a 5.0 mustang V-8

45

Original miles 84K
1997 converted to 4 cylinder engine.
I am interested to sale the car if sambady interested just make offer.

47

This car has spent most of its life in Sacramento Ca.
I bought it from the second owner in 1996. At that time it was equipped with a vinyl interior.
I located a leather interior of which only the back seats were usable. The front seats were used to take paterns and I had new, pretty neat, seat covers made.
The cars paint was in a bad shape so I’ve arranged for a practically bare metal respray. There’s absolutely no rust on the car (and never have been).

49

i like the 4 cylinder better then the 6 that is in the coupe

51

I bought it brand new and still runs like a champ.
Its black on black and I want to restore the interior.
If anyone knows a place where I could get new seats please contact me!
Also if anyone knows of any aftermarket performance parts please contact me too.
Thank you.

62

The milage is a little high, but its because its a daily driver,
and will always be a daily driver.
I love the styling of this car!

63

I have a 1980 262c with 92K original miles.
I have been restoring it very slowly for the past five years and will have it completed soon.
The price depends on the stage of completion.
I still need to re-install the interior, carpet, window & body trim and door locks.
The following parts have been replaced or rebuilt, brakes, master cylinder, wheel bearings, transmission,
muffler, fuel injectors, fuel distributor, fuel pressure control module, hoses, belts, spark plugs,
wires, distributor cap, plugs, and more.
I am interested in selling it ortrading it for a four door sedan or station wagon that will be useful to my family.
I can be reached at 770 967-0264.
Make an offer! Chris

64

Mail me some info about 262c

66

THE ENGINE WAS SHOT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR SO I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION TO EITHER REPAIR OR REPLACE THE B-28 ENGINE OR INSTALL A SMALL BLOCK CHEVY.
I AM IN THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING A 1985 CHEVY 350 WITH EDELBROCK INTAKE, CAM AND 4-BARREL CARB.
I SHOULD HAVE THIS JEWEL ON THE STREET BY THE END OF MAY 1999.

69

This car was one of 2 shipped to Arkansas in 1978

70

I recently purchased this car and would like to find access for parts.
I’m told they are hard to come by.
If you could please forward any information to my e-mail address please.
Thank you very much. Stan Hess aka sonny195498@yahoo.com

72

Original owner. Yes, lots of miles on this baby, but it’s still a head-turner.
Although I have replaced a fair number of parts,
I have not yet spent an amount equal to what I paid for it in October, 1980.
For the 19 years I’ve owned it, average/year repair costs are between 500-600.
Not bad considering I’ve had no car payments for 14 years.
Would be interested in learning what it would/could go for if I decided to sell.
Car sold to number 271 of the list

74

I JUST LOVE MY CARE LET’S ORGANIZE A CONVOY OF 262

77

I would be greatful for any specific info on this auto and where to get used parts. Thank you.

The engine was replaced with a 1985 240 series 4 cyl Turbo with just over 50k miles.
I LOVE this body style and interior!
It is an extremely fun car to drive and I get comments at least once a week from strangers admiring the unique beauty of this vehicle.

I absolutely refuse to sell it or scrap it !!!
It had engine trouble before being parked,would not start on humid or rainy days.
Body and interioris absolutely immaculate due to rustproofing.
It is time to ressurect my baby !!!
Thinking about dropping in a Ford 5.0L or Chevy motor !!!
Any tips or suggestions ?

100

i bought this car last year for $500.00. the engine was shot although i was able to drive it home.
i have since replaced the v-6 with a chevy 350 v-8 and a turbo 350 auto trans.
i have done quite a bit of work on the exterior and interior.
the car is presently at the paint and body shop where i am changing the color to white diamond pearl clearcoat.
the chevy engine is bored out to .040 over and i have installed an edelbrock performer cam intake
manifold and 4-barrel carb.
this car really moves.
this started out as a project but has now become a quest.
i can’t wait to pull up next to these new mustangs and cameros to see their faces when my volvrolet
leaves them in the dust.

102

Excellent, never wrecked, one owner, like NEW, all original with paperwork.

105

Ride is real smooth, nice & quiet. Pretty good pick up and brakes nicely.

121

Production number badge says its number 9 ever built very nice car

122

I presently own two 262C’s both were painted two years ago and both in good running condition.
I will soon be selling both cars because I own sixteen cars and my wife has clostrophobia
and can’t even ride in them.
I am quite certain I will get another later in life because I have always loved this model.

124

REPLACED THE ORIGINAL V-6 WITH A 1990 B230FT WITH AW-71 AUTO TRANSMISSION, NOW THE CAR REALLY RUNS WELL.
ALSO ADDED IPD SWAY BARS AND NOW IT HANDLES WELL ALSO.
THINKING ABOUT CONVERTING TO A V-8 302 FORD AS WE HAVE DONE TWO OF THESE CONVERSIONS IN OUR SHOP ALREADY

125

How do I get specs. on a 1980 Volvo Bertone. I need some engine work. Any suggestions???

127

I am looking for some parts, does anyone know of a good source?

130

100% UNTOUCHED, ORIGINAL AND IMMACULATE CONDITION. ONLY USED FOR EXHIBITION. EVEN ORIGINAL TYRES!

132

MY 262C IS CURRENTLY BEING RESTORED TO AMAZING CONDITION. I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE EMAIL FROM OTHER FANS OF THIS UNIQUE CAR.

136

Volvo informed me this is one of only 821 sold in the US.- out of their total production of 1670.
My car is in perfect condition having been serviced faithfully and garaged always.
I am curious as to how many of the 821 may still be on the road.
(The number may be even less than 821 as the Volvo letter also mentioned production figures for the 1979 model but didn’t differentiatel on the US numbers). Have seen only one 262C in at least the past three years.
Would like to hear from anyone with interesting info. Thanks………..

137

I purchased this car used in 1988 with 33,000 klms and have added 50,000 more myself in the last 12 years.
Still the lowest mileage I’ve seen so far.
Got bored with original color scheme (Gold with black dash and tan interior)Interior is now all
black and exterior is Green pearl with bumpers, grille and wheels painted to match.Valve covers
and intake are polished and different air cleaner were installed so now can actually see the motor
where that huge air cleaner used to be.
Car should be complete this spring.Car has been great. Only thing I’ve had to do since I’ve had it is to
install new water pump. Not bad for 12 years driving.

138

Newly acquired from my father in law from Selkirk Manitoba Canada

139

Great car only 53,375 miles on the car.

140

What a great car to drive, I picked it up off my neighbour who left it unregistered for some 6 years.
After carefully hand turning the engine over for the first time to fantasic journeys touring around
Western Australia it has never let me down and I will find it hard to ever replace.

144

I purchased the car in October 1999 from the family that took delivery of it 19 years ago.
It has only covered 19750 MILES yes MILES, With full service history,original bill of sale ect…
I have now joined the Volvo Owners Club in the UK. And are looking forward to taking the car to rallies here.

145

I have owned the car since 1981. I bought it from the original owner.
The engine has been a problem since new as the cams and followers are distroyed after 30,000 miles.
The engine has been apart twice to correct the problem but it comes back. (blocked oiling holes on cam followers)
Would like any information that might exist on a fix/or a good suggestion for an easy engine swap.
The car has been off the road and garaged for the past ten years.
Engine needs top end rebuild again, otherwise perfect.
I am looking at a 1981 with 167,000 miles which has slight body damage.
The car is Black with Tan interior. The front seats are in bad condition.
Does anyone know where to get new front seat skins?

147

It was setting in garage for a couple of years, starting to run it again seems to overheat on long distance ?
Can someone tell me a value of this car 1-10 rate a 7. I know this is a grey area but I just want an idea ?
thanks

148

I found my 262C at stock yard and bought it by miniture car price.
I am very lucky because most people do not know about 262C.
There are several rusty parts especially around A piller and boot. But, it runs well.
I will start the restoration.

Very good shape. Worth restoring. Have trouble getting engine and body parts cheap.

160

Engine in the Car was refitted with a 2.1 L 4 cyl from a 1980 240DL wagon.
original engine had failed and was sold to volvo as a core some years back.
Car had not been on the road since 1988 and was stored outside most of this time.
I am inprocess of getting the car back on the road and was up and driving 2 week ago
and still debugging systems that we not working.
Electrical being the biggest problem.
Was told by previous owner that this is a king of Sweden limited edition and I am looking
for any information that can confirm this.
He said it was one of 100 such cars and has the crown emplem you show in the top window of this page.
Any information would be helpful.
thank you very much.

161

Love this car but it is currently laid up and not sure I’ll get it fixed.
Bought used in 1983 in Bremerton, Washington and used as my primary car until engine decided to not cooperate anymore at 180,000 miles (coolant leak into #6 cylinder).
Have kept it beside the house now for two years.

162

I owned my 262C since 1986 and he is in an overall good condition. He is car nummber 175.
He has on the front also a crown not the Volvo sign, this is orginal on this car.

163

It has been completely restored in the Year of 1990.
The car came from California USA.

700R4 (4L60) 4-speed AOD (Automatic Overdrive) automatic transmission.
I am very happy with the conversion and with the way the car drives with the more powerful engine.

168

Car in very bad condition, restore beginning in this winter

170

The car has been standing still for over 3 years now.
I run the engine every month for 15 minutes to keep the oil distributed throughout the block, but it’s suffering nevertheless.>BR>
The fuel distributor develops some airbubles which keep it from running smoothly.
Everytime I hear it getting stuck I promise myself to get down to the bottom of the problem,
but then again, two left hands prevent me from solving it.
The last overhaul was done by one of the previous owners early nineties.
They did a great job, but still the car starts rusting again…

171

V8 Chev. 305 TBI engine-With 4L60 automatic transmission w/overdrive installed.

Dear Fellow/Lady Bertone Owners,
Greetings! Presently I am having a love/hate relationship with my car.
I love the solid feel and the coupe bodystyle.
I dislike the problems that seem to plague the car, which cause me to continuously ask myself whether to sell it or keep it and pour money in.
Is it a well that will hold water in the end, or a chronic leaker?
Thinking of possible impending camshaft problems any day/year gives me no great joy.
However, as I said, I like the car. Any advice/input?

185

Car is registered in Austria.
Absolut original condition, not restored, perfect paint, chromework,interior, etc., only driven in summer with low milage.
Specials: R-Sport steering wheel/4spoke, R-Sport cockpit instruments, R-Sport suspension/
roadholding Kit; Battery and water tank for windshield cleaning mounted in trunk for better weight distribution; stainless steel exhaust system; Virgo or BBS rims available.

188

I have performed a Motor/Transmission Swap on my Bertone.

Full IPD Sport Suspension.
It is a lot more fun to drive now compared to with the V6 and the Automatic Transmission.

Best Car of the world. Combines everything I want.

A lovely 262C fully restored by Barry Du-Crow, a Volvo mechanc. It is slightly customised.
The car has lowered suspension, a 240 instrument pannel with oil temp, outside temp, voltmeter, oil pressure, as well as an upgraded sound CD system.
The bumpers are about 1983 vintage.
The car looks very much like Gyllenhammer’s 262C but blue instead of red. This is my everyday car.

203

I have owned this car for 10 years. In the begining everyone who saw it thought it might be an avanti!
The car is now quite rusty. The engine is strong, no cam problems and the tranny is rebuilt.
I am trying to restore it to its former glory.
I am always looking for a good leather interior, tan of course.
I also have black door panels for someone.I just love this car.

204

IMMACULATE, DRIVEN EVERY DAY.

205

I am the third owner of this nice 1980 262c.

I just bought it a few weaks ago with a stuffed engine and I am in the process of fitting a 92 B2320F.
I also striped out the interior to find all the rust and I am repairing it.
The worst is in the rear pillar.
I had to cut about 3″ out at the botton of the corners and all of the recess where the trim fits.
I am tring to find a replacement panel for the whole pillar.

213

I needhelp in identifying the engine. It was either replaced or rebuilt.
I am not sure if the engine is a replacement B27F or the original B28F.

217

Engine died at 83k on August ’84. New engine was put in at that time.
As of August 2001 only 50k has been put on the replaced B28.

221

I purchased this car new in 1980. I have had the car restored, it is in excellent condition.
I am planning to sell my 262C and would like to know what the fair value price would be.

222

I bought this 262C from a Volvo dealer at about 40k miles in 1986. I have driven another 40k+ miles since then.
Somehow the head gasket started to leak about 3 years ago.
I parked the car with coolant drained and oil changed for almost 3 years.
I finally took the engine apart and had the head gasket replaced.

In the past few days I had the engine reassembled and started.
It idled reasonably well within 10 minutes after first started.
I think I shall be able to drive this car soon again.

But before that I need to make sure the brake is in good order.
I probably want to drain and refill the transmission fluid and brake fluid.
The coolant is fresh now. I use VW’s blue coolant because it is for VW’s Vanagon which
has an alluminum wet liner engine and require to use this blue coolant.
I will probably want to repack all wheel bearings and change the oil in the transaxle too.

Well, this is going to be a while before I get all these done.
Then I will need to re register this car and get insurance for it.
Boy, I just can’t wait to drive it again.

Good luck to you all and your 262C. Hope you enjoy driving it as much as I do.

The condition are generally good.
I miss some particulars, but very hard to find

226

227

Purchased Summer 1998 from 2nd owner. Wonderful auto, love this car.
We fondly call it “Houston” after son of 2nd owner.
They sold the car because it was difficult getting Houston’s car seat in & out of the back seat (2-door).
This auto is light blue metallic with blk leather.
Tres cool. BTW, I have seen a green one in Kona, Hawaii. Have a great day.

I have been searching for a 262C for 16 years finally in August 2001 I found the right vehicle.
Damaged in the front but still in running order.
It came with service booklet showing last service 140 000 km 27/4/2000.
Leather in perfect condition, spare wheel never been used, boot carpet better than the carpet in my lounge.
Apart from the front end damage the body is in good condition, being in the smash repair industry it is perfect.
So I need as much info as I can about the 262C as how rare are they and what number is my car off the production
line, plus any other info you might have that will get me excited.
All of your comments and help are welcomed.

233

My Car is a bit modified!I just made my three crown a bit deeper!
Because now it looks much better and is just about 1.24 meters high!
So my babe now looks much more like a Coupe and no longer more like a Jeep!!!!!
I restored my car for about one and a half year, made it deeper and
installed polished Aluline Wheels
in the dimension 7.5×15 ET 10 with 225/50R15 tires!

After about $3,000 in fuel system repairs and replaced gaskets I got it back on the road.
It’s all original and complete, but in need of restoration. I’ve never figured out just why, but I absolutely love this car!
Maybe I’ll find the resources to have it restored soon.

I found my 76 262 Volvo in a field where it sat for about 5 years.
The body was in good shape but the driver’s side floor was in bad shape so I welded in some new medal.
The engine ran but would not accelerate and it was determined upon further investigation that the cams were bad.
So I pulled the B27F and replaced it with a Chevrolet V8 backed by a Borg-Warner 5 speed and am currently driving it.
It is registered as an antique and will spend its winters indoors
The fastest and rarest Volvo I have ever driven.

338

Just purchased yesterday. We think it is great.

Bought the car on a garage sale, for the price of AU$ 120 + a case of bear, transport home, $45
Has been offered $3000 as is where is, but don’t want to sell it, Volvo Australia is helping me wit special things,
and want to borrow the car when it is restored.
I’m Danish but live in Australia, educated Motor engineer from Denmark, and have been traveling for BMW all over the world.

I/We currently own 5 Bertones. 81,80,79 & 2 78’s.
We are currently building a ’79 with a B230FT, AW72L, and posi rear end.
The car is being finished at the body shop, and fine tuning will continue.
Currently the project car has 275,000 total miles.
Write for any details or pictures. We have tons of parts if needed for sale.

355

I purchased the car from Mr. Joseph Lauricella (your listing #345).
He switched out the 6 cyl B27F for a 4cyl B230F out of an ’89 240.
He also repainted in the original metallic silver and had the driver seat rebuilt.
Runs beautifully (actually zippier than with the 6cyl), and I’ve got a reliable engine!
Hope to keep it running for a long time.

Engine has been converted to a 1988 B230FT turbo with a Garrett T3 turbo of a 1983 760 Turbo (B23ET). The trasmission is now an AW71

362

I have just purchased this car – it has been unused for the last three years and is yet to be registered.
The body is in excellent condition, especially the interior.
The engine has been replaced with a 4.2 litre Holden V8, running on LPG.
[This engine was unique to general Motors in Australia, available as 253 or 308 cu.in – it was used mainly in the Holden Commodore and Torana].                                         The wheels are not original,
being wider than standard – I assume because of the extra power of the V8.
I’ve yet to fully research the car and its history. I look forward to an interesting involvement with the register.

Original and in beautiful condition.
Not perfect BUT just about. If I were to grade it….Exterior A-,it has just a few imperfections,Interior A,Engine A-,it has a rear seal leak.
Transmission A,it has a front seal leak. NO rust or rot whatsoever…
It was originally bought and registered in Texas. I’ve owned it for I believe 15-17 years and I’ve never registered it.
It has seen very little milage since I flew down to Texas with a budy of mine,
purchased it and drove it back to Connecticut (about 1,300 miles… I always loved the 262 Bertone Coupe.
I first had a 78 and it was a Northeast car owned by a well to do woman.
It was garraged BUT I guess I got it too late in its life. I stripped it and had it repainted.
It just wasn’t what I wanted and the money and work was to much for me.. BUT this 81 is just Great….
After all the want and all these years I think I would like to sell it But I’m just not sure.

Car was originally sold painted in metalic silver, at some point in her life (before I purchased her) she was repainted in deep metalic teal blue/green.
There is evidence of an engine fire which may have led to the colour change.
I have just had the radio, casette and dictaphone restored and will be installing them very soon.
Apart from the colour change, she is very much as she came from the factory and in remarkably good condition for her age.
I remember seeing one of these cars as a teenager (gold with a tan interior).
It was owned by one of my parents neighbours and I fell in love with the look of it.
27 years later I saw mine for sale on the side of the road and purchased her immediatly.
The seller had only owned it for a few months. He purchased it to tow a trailer and was told,
when the tow bar was to be installed, how rare the car was in Australia (and how expensive it would be to install a tow bar),
he then placed it out on the side of a major highway to see if anyone wanted to buy it.
I know nothing about her life before I purchased her.
If anyone knows about her early life, or previous owners, I would be very grateful for any information.

My mother bought this in car in 1980 as a demo with 7000k on it. It was well used but 5 years ago she bought a new car.
She did not want to sell the Volvo but it was unreliable to drive as it needed work.
She gave the car to me and I am slowly trying to restore it on my visits home.
I live in New Brunswick but I visit my family and the car in Vancouver every year.
It is my transportation in Vancouver and is kept in the garage at all times. It now runs with antique license plates.
Need parts and books.

Thanks, Joanna.

Very nice to find a website for Bertones, I always liked the Bertones, now with a 4.3 chevy v-6, and 200R4 trans,
I really love it, have done 28-30 mpg going to Portland, and 20-23 mpg around town.
This car is my daily driver and get alot of looks from people that want to know how long it took me to chop the top!
Some can’t believe Volvo ever made a “COOL” car! Thanks!
