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.
\nWE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS TO SHOW THE CAR IN THE SHED.<\/p>\n

\nIt is a very quick car.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

26<\/a><\/p>\n

I have a 1977 modell.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

27<\/a><\/p>\n

Interior in great shape, engine and body needs work. I have owned the car since
\nnew and have most of the service records still on file. I'm getting too old
\nto look after the car the way it should be done and will consider any reasonable offer.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

28<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I've put auto transmission, and B28 engine,
\nI've had my 262C converted to a re-built, 1983 B23 four-cylinder for practicality.
\nAm I the only one who has done this?
\nMost likely, since it is no longer a collector's item.
\nWould like to know thoughts on this...
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

32<\/a><\/p>\n

Had converted from 6-cyl to trusty B-23 4 cyl & manual transmission.
\nNeed windshield & paint job
\nI love this car.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

33<\/a><\/p>\n

90% \"mint\". runs perfect. everything works. Love this car!

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

38<\/a><\/p>\n

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).
\nNow I want to sell it because of an new experience with a Jaguar.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

39<\/a><\/p>\n

De auto is aangekocht van de eerste eigenaar en is in Nederland geheel gerestaureerd.
\nIs origineel en niet gelast.
\nHet enige niet originele aan de auto is de automaat met overdrive die er ondergebouwd is om de auto aanzienlijk stiller te maken.
\nI bought this original Volvo 262 Coupe in America from the first owner Mr. Phan Nguyen in Westminster CA.
\nThe car is never been welded and still original.
\nWhen 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.
\nAt this moment the Volvo 262 Coupe is in a exellent shape and very nice to drive.
\nAlso the engine is completely overhauled.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

43<\/a><\/p>\n

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
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

45<\/a><\/p>\n

Original miles 84K
\n1997 converted to 4 cylinder engine.
\nI am interested to sale the car if sambady interested just make offer.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

47<\/a><\/p>\n

This car has spent most of its life in Sacramento Ca.
\nI bought it from the second owner in 1996. At that time it was equipped with a vinyl interior.
\nI 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.
\nThe 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).
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

49<\/a><\/p>\n

i like the 4 cylinder better then the 6 that is in the coupe
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

51<\/a><\/p>\n

I bought it brand new and still runs like a champ.
\nIts black on black and I want to restore the interior.
\nIf anyone knows a place where I could get new seats please contact me!
\nAlso if anyone knows of any aftermarket performance parts please contact me too.
\nThank you.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

62<\/a><\/p>\n

The milage is a little high, but its because its a daily driver,
\nand will always be a daily driver.
\nI love the styling of this car!
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

63<\/a><\/p>\n

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

64<\/a><\/p>\n

Mail me some info about 262c

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.
\nI AM IN THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING A 1985 CHEVY 350 WITH EDELBROCK INTAKE, CAM AND 4-BARREL CARB.
\nI SHOULD HAVE THIS JEWEL ON THE STREET BY THE END OF MAY 1999.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

This car was one of 2 shipped to Arkansas in 1978
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

70<\/a><\/p>\n

I recently purchased this car and would like to find access for parts.
\nI'm told they are hard to come by.
\nIf you could please forward any information to my e-mail address please.
\nThank you very much. Stan Hess aka sonny195498@yahoo.com
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

72<\/a><\/p>\n

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

\nI LOVE this body style and interior!
\nIt 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.

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

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

\nI will soon be selling both cars because I own sixteen cars and my wife has clostrophobia
\nand can't even ride in them.
\nI am quite certain I will get another later in life because I have always loved this model.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

124<\/a><\/p>\n

REPLACED THE ORIGINAL V-6 WITH A 1990 B230FT WITH AW-71 AUTO TRANSMISSION, NOW THE CAR REALLY RUNS WELL.

MY 262C IS CURRENTLY BEING RESTORED TO AMAZING CONDITION. I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE EMAIL FROM OTHER FANS OF THIS UNIQUE CAR.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

136<\/a><\/p>\n

Volvo informed me this is one of only 821 sold in the US.- out of their total production of 1670.
\nMy car is in perfect condition having been serviced faithfully and garaged always.
\nI am curious as to how many of the 821 may still be on the road.
\n(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.
\nWould like to hear from anyone with interesting info. Thanks...........
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

137<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Great car only 53,375 miles on the car.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

140<\/a><\/p>\n

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

144<\/a><\/p>\n

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

145<\/a><\/p>\n

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

147<\/a><\/p>\n

It was setting in garage for a couple of years, starting to run it again seems to overheat on long distance ?
\nCan 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 ?
\nthanks
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

148<\/a><\/p>\n

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

150<\/a><\/p>\n

Waiting for spare cash to restore to full glory.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

159<\/a><\/p>\n

Very good shape. Worth restoring. Have trouble getting engine and body parts cheap.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

160<\/a><\/p>\n

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

161<\/a><\/p>\n

Love this car but it is currently laid up and not sure I'll get it fixed.
\nBought 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).
\nHave kept it beside the house now for two years.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

162<\/a><\/p>\n

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

163<\/a><\/p>\n

It has been completely restored in the Year of 1990.

Replaced original V6 with 1992 Chevrolet 5L (305CI 180HP) TBI (Throttle Body Fuel Injected) V8 engine and
\n700R4 (4L60) 4-speed AOD (Automatic Overdrive) automatic transmission.
\nI am very happy with the conversion and with the way the car drives with the more powerful engine.

Car in very bad condition, restore beginning in this winter
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

170<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Dear Fellow\/Lady Bertone Owners,
\nGreetings! Presently I am having a love\/hate relationship with my car.
\nI love the solid feel and the coupe bodystyle.
\nI 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.
\nIs it a well that will hold water in the end, or a chronic leaker?
\nThinking of possible impending camshaft problems any day\/year gives me no great joy.
\nHowever, as I said, I like the car. Any advice\/input?
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

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

203<\/a><\/p>\n

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

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

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

Engine died at 83k on August '84. New engine was put in at that time.
\nAs of August 2001 only 50k has been put on the replaced B28.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

221<\/a><\/p>\n

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

222<\/a><\/p>\n

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

In the past few days I had the engine reassembled and started.
\nIt idled reasonably well within 10 minutes after first started.
\nI think I shall be able to drive this car soon again.<\/p>\n

But before that I need to make sure the brake is in good order.
\nI probably want to drain and refill the transmission fluid and brake fluid.
\nThe coolant is fresh now. I use VW's blue coolant because it is for VW's Vanagon which
\nhas an alluminum wet liner engine and require to use this blue coolant.
\nI will probably want to repack all wheel bearings and change the oil in the transaxle too.<\/p>\n

Well, this is going to be a while before I get all these done.
\nThen I will need to re register this car and get insurance for it.
\nBoy, I just can't wait to drive it again.<\/p>\n

Good luck to you all and your 262C. Hope you enjoy driving it as much as I do.<\/p>\n

I have been searching for a 262C for 16 years finally in August 2001 I found the right vehicle.
\nDamaged in the front but still in running order.
\nIt came with service booklet showing last service 140 000 km 27\/4\/2000.
\nLeather in perfect condition, spare wheel never been used, boot carpet better than the carpet in my lounge.
\nApart from the front end damage the body is in good condition, being in the smash repair industry it is perfect.
\nSo 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
\nline, plus any other info you might have that will get me excited.
\nAll of your comments and help are welcomed.

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

I\/We currently own 5 Bertones. 81,80,79 & 2 78's.
\nWe are currently building a '79 with a B230FT, AW72L, and posi rear end.

\nCurrently the project car has 275,000 total miles.
\nWrite for any details or pictures. We have tons of parts if needed for sale.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

355<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I have just purchased this car - it has been unused for the last three years and is yet to be registered.
\nThe body is in excellent condition, especially the interior.
\nThe engine has been replaced with a 4.2 litre Holden V8, running on LPG.
\n[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]. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The wheels are not\u00a0original,
\nbeing wider than standard - I assume because of the extra power of the V8.
\nI've yet to fully research the car and its history. I look forward to an interesting involvement with the register.<\/p>\n

Original and in beautiful condition.
\nNot 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.
\nTransmission A,it has a front seal leak. NO rust or rot whatsoever...
\nIt was originally bought and registered in Texas. I've owned it for I believe 15-17 years and I've never registered it.
\nIt has seen very little milage since I flew down to Texas with a budy of mine,
\npurchased it and drove it back to Connecticut (about 1,300 miles... I always loved the 262 Bertone Coupe.
\nI first had a 78 and it was a Northeast car owned by a well to do woman.
\nIt was garraged BUT I guess I got it too late in its life. I stripped it and had it repainted.
\nIt just wasn't what I wanted and the money and work was to much for me.. BUT this 81 is just Great....
\nAfter 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.
\nThere is evidence of an engine fire which may have led to the colour change.
\nI have just had the radio, casette and dictaphone restored and will be installing them very soon.
\nApart from the colour change, she is very much as she came from the factory and in remarkably good condition for her age.
\nI remember seeing one of these cars as a teenager (gold with a tan interior).
\nIt was owned by one of my parents neighbours and I fell in love with the look of it.
\n27 years later I saw mine for sale on the side of the road and purchased her immediatly.
\nThe seller had only owned it for a few months. He purchased it to tow a trailer and was told,
\nwhen 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),
\nhe then placed it out on the side of a major highway to see if anyone wanted to buy it.
\nI know nothing about her life before I purchased her.
\nIf anyone knows about her early life, or previous owners, I would be very grateful for any information.
