VOLVO 780<\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

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

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

Wagen origineel uitgerust met een donkergrijs leder interieur.
Dit interieur heeft het grijs\/zwart interieur vervangen in MJ 90.
De meeste 780 Turbo 16V werden met dit interieur geleverd.
Toen men in 1991 nog met een onverkochte stock 780 Turbo 16V's MJ 90 zat in Itali\u00eb, hadden al deze wagens dit interieur.
Belgische wagen uitgerust met gepolijste Polaris 17\" velgen en een verlaagd sportchassis.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Volledig originele Belgische 780 in uitzonderlijke staat.
<\/a><\/p>\n

I have just purchased this vehicle and would appreciate any & all information possible. Thank-you.
<\/a><\/p>\n

Auto is rechtstreeks afkomstig van Volvo employee. Heeft de auto als zakenauto bereden en gekocht wanneer
hij met pensioen ging. Complete historie aanwezig en origineel 75.000 km gereden bij de aankoop. Is uitgerust met
een originele booster welke destijds als extra te koop was bij Volvo.
<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been a volvo lover for 15 years and have always wished to own a 780 ever since the day they came out
in 1987. I owned a 87 and now have this beautiful 89 Gold with Tan Interior and has won the Best 700
Series at our local Canadian Volvo Meet. My dream came true when this happened and proud to own a Classic
My 780 is garaged and only used in the summer for special occasions.
Keep up the excellent work and hope to hear from other 780 Bertone Lovers.
Regards
Max De Souza

Mint condition. Flawless. Just an amazing automobile. Anyone else run into the battery draining if not driven for 3-4 days?

Thanks for taking over the web site.
It's good to see you picking up the web site.
Nice car
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

The 780 Bertone is a classic style that doesn't attract undue attention.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Good luck with the 780 registry.
Eric.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Can anyone verify the exact number of coupes produced
as '91 models, and how many of them were imported into the US?
thanks!!

Deze auto is origineel in de VS verkocht en een aantal jaren geleden naar Belgi\u00eb gehaald.
2,5 jaar geleden is de auto in Nederland terecht gekomen, maar niet op kenteken gezet.
Onlangs is de auto door mij gekocht en op kenteken gezet.
De wagen is in uitstekende conditie. De motor loopt voortreffelijk.

This car was stored for 10 years in an air conditioned garage prior to my ownership.

Hi,
Thanks for the web - site and a great surprise to find it!
My 780 is not a daily driver - I keep it in the garage and it looks like new, in and out -
I drive a 940 red wagone turbo every day and my wife drives a 240...
I Love our Volvo's - but always look forward to warm clear days to drive the 780 around.
Keep in touch and - ...
\"Keep-Rolling\"

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

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

Looked for this model for over 2 years.
Only Volvo that my wife would drive.
Thought she had me but we found one and now she has a passion for HER car
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

This is a tie with my 1984 Toyota Supra for the nicest car I have owned.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

With special chromium rims (typ: Volvo, Polaris)
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I just bought this car. Before I had a 164E which is very good car. I just begin to enjoy this one.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Ive Got 2! Where can i go(sites) to get info and discuss?
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I bought it from my mechanic, who works on Volvos and BMW's- 2 guys named Tim.
It is a great car.
It is a great road car- on the highway, and a great car for getting around tow.
I have had 3 Volvo's going back to 1986 and this is the best.
My 85 turbo wagon was a 5 speed and had over 200K miles on it when I donated it to a charity.
My 1986 740 GLE has 209K on it. My 17 year old son is now driving it.
It is a fantastic road car. The 780 is a special car.
In spite of the obvious design flaws ( the trunk, rear seat levers, etc..) it is a lot of fun to drive.... and it goes fast.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

It is an very nice big and strong turbo diesel and I hope that you contact me
it is very nice to see something like this on the net.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I was nicely surprised to discover your Web site concerning the Volvo 780 owners.
Congratulations.
I love this car but I want to have the experience of other owners concerning:
The problem of the leather upholstery that is detaching from the door side underneath the window.
Also it is very difficult to find new or used spare-parts.
Can someone help me out?

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

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

He is still pretty much cherry. the engine,
trans and turbo were all rebuilt by phil pontrio of island volvo repair not because it needed to be done just to have it done.,br.
It only has 19000m since rebuild.

Have had car for one year\/10,000 miles with no problems, lots of fun.
Anybody in snowy climates have tips for winter?
Chicago and rear wheel drive are not friends.
Thanks
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Excellent Car!!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

In ten years, I've never even seen another red 1991 Coupe, just one other Coupe, a blue one about ten years ago!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Am glad the 780 Bertone group is being resurrected.
We should do more, considering the plethora of clubs and websites for Alfa, Fiat X\/9 etc.
Merchandising should bring in cash for upgrades etc.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

One of the doors on the right hand side has small scrach thats about the only problem it has.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

This car came with O.Z. racing wheels from the dealer.
Im missing one of the center caps due to a negligent mechanic.
This cap has a security screw and the volvo logo on the center covered with clear resin.
Im also looking for a headliner and sun roof shade in the tan color.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Purchased 4-17-99 from original owner.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

IS A GREAT CAR BUT HARD TO FIND PARTS IF YOU HAVE
ANY NAME OF A COMPANY PLEASE LET ME NO.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Possibly the first 780 sold as new in Norway.
Was owned by Volvo Norge the first two years.
It is an `87 model, registrated nov.`86.
This car is in good originally shape.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

We enjoy our 780 Coupe and drive it every day.
We receive a lot of compliments about the car.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

The car is in perfect condition,
everything is orginal exeception the wheels they are 18 inch wheels from a Volvo C70.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Over 200,000 miles with no major problems.
No engine repairs of any sort.
However I'm having electrical problems regarding the fuse box and seats.
And of course the headliner is now sagging.
My car has the Automatic Climate Control option.
I have aftermarket wheels, but otherwise the car is totally original.
The V6 is very smooth and quiet. I am very happy with it,
though I'd like to try one with the independent suspension.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Fahrzeug ist aus Italien.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I am interested in any input as far as modifications that can be made to this car.
I would love to squeeze more horsepower from the 4 cyl. turbo and improve the handling characteristics.
I am open to any suggestions. Thank You

Thanks for running this web site.
As the 780 gets older, we need to keep up with each other.
I suggest joining the Volvo Club of America and register your 780s!
Great Web site.

Wooh Nelly, she is a spirited diplomate's car.
Her latest driver has been a Swede named Blomquist.
Hmmm,
don't let that get back to Saab.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

A nice car! runs strong, but difficult and expensive to maintain.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I'm looking a few other 780 owners looking to upgrade their handling through some front and REAR sway bars.
ipd will get out the dies and make some (they retired them a couple of years ago) if we can find 10 interested 780 owners.
Heck, I'll bet if we could get close they consider making the sway bars.<\/p>\n

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED (no commitment yet), please e-mail me back with<\/p>\n

- your name
- the year of your 780
- e-mail address and
- a phone number (optional).<\/p>\n

I'll keep a running list and contact you if we get close.
Or if you have a set of sway bars FOR SALE, please call or e-mail me.<\/p>\n

Thanks.<\/p>\n

Just acquired the 1989 Bertone. One owner, perfect records.
Would love to connect with and talk to via e-mail or on line others who own 780 Bertones to educate me more to what I have,
resources for parts when needed and other realities, pro and con of Bertone Ownership.

Wow! An actual club of 780 Bertone owners.
I've never even seen one on the road other than mine. But I'm happy I found you.
Now I'm sure I can get some information about this car.

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

I would like to know where I can obtain info about this car.
Especially interested in a good shop book on the motor.
I am new to the car and know nothing about it.
I was looking for another deisel Mercedes and happened upon this car.
Its in extremely well kept almost new condition. I LOVE driving it!
I have a feeling that parts will be the biggest problem. I would welcome any tips, warnings, sources etc.

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

I'm not sure about engine...I know its a 4 cyl. turbo.
Also not sure about serial number...its raining outside right now.
Its my teenage son's car, but I've taken a real liking to it.
He wants to trade it for a pickup, but I may keep it.
I hope to find a front air dam and a few small parts to fix it up.
The only real problem is the driver's seat will not move forward\/back, and it is stuck in a position that is too close for comfort on me!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

My car is a beautiful Black with all Black interior. When we first
unloaded it off the truck the first thing we did was remove all the
suspension parts and put in all brand new IPD parts. We installed
new springs shocks, swaybars and we lowered the car alot. This is
very tricky because of the independent rear suspension. We actually
had IPD fabricate one of the parts to make the whole thing work.
Then we I had a brand new set of 16\" 740\/940 Turbo rims polished with
Goodyear GS-C 205\/55\/ZR16 tires. The wheels and tires make the whole
car it looks like it is motion even when it is standing still. I am
not kidding when I tell you I cried when I picked up the wheels they
were so perfect and exactly what I wanted. They make the car look
like it is wearing silver slippers. Not only that but the handling
is way beyond what any of us expected. The car is so low and stiff
that there is just no body roll at all, regardless of speed. We had
the three rear windows blacked out. I installed a new Volvo stereo
EQ which came standard with earlier model 780's (the 1991 came with a
6 disc CD player but no equalizer) The 1991 also came with a plate
on the dash that has Nuccio Bertone's signature.<\/p>\n

And last but not least, I was able to get the California license plate
of \"BERTONE\". Someone else already had the plate so I hired a private
investigator to contact the person to see if they would sell it to me,
and they did. The private investigator cost me $75, all he did was
make a couple of phone calls. The plate cost me $125, the owner
didn't even have it registered on a car. It didn't even spell BERTONE
for him so he wasn't that attached to it. This guys name was David
Bertelson and the license plate said \"BERT ONE\" (he had a 1\/2 space
between BERT and ONE) his brother had \"BERT TWO\" I can not tell you
how much I love having that license plate on this car.<\/p>\n

I love this car more than any other car I have ever owned. It was
delivered to me with on 35 miles on it and I know have 93,000. I can
not imagine every getting rid of the car.<\/p>\n

I also own a 1993 Blue Volvo 940 Turbo station wagon with 50,000
miles. I just bought it 2 months ago and I love it already, It is
replacing a 1983 245 Turbo Wagon.(Blue Volvo's are my favorite color)
I just installed a set of 17\" Volvo 850T rims on the car and they
look great<\/p>\n

Tell me about your 780 I would love to see it.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Just purchased this vehicle... very nice condition. Doing minor repairs.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

my car is acting wierd. driver's seat is all crooked. i have no idea what the hell happened.
all i did was press a button. engine is making strange noises.
it all happened after i thouroughly detailed the car. oh well. great car otherwise.
i'm a poor college student that doesn't have enough money to send the car in for repairs.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Bought it in bad shape, have rehabbed it...any tips to keep it in good shape are appreciated!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

After 8 years driving a 780 with the V6 engine I decided that it was time for something different.
Although the V6 is a smooth car and it hadn't let me down once I was looking for a little bit more power.
I found this B204GT already 2 years ago by reading an article in \"autovisie\",
a dutch automagazine, where this car was subject to an article on the 780.
Owner was Carlo Schmidt but he was a little bit reluctant to sell the car at that time.
In the mid of 2008 we came to an agreement and we \"swapped\" our cars.
Wonderfull car and a great fun to drive !
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

engine from 1990
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

am the original owner of a 1991 Bertone Coupe (#11594).
As a former Vice President of Volvo North America Corp.,
this car was in the corporate showroom for one year, but I had the then VP Marketing for Cars, Bill Hoover, earmark it for me when it came off the showroom floor.
The car is a classic, in that it was one of two, that were painted with a test color at the time \"Pearlescent White.\" Mitch Duncan, VP Parts at the time got the other one.
I have had the car ever since and still drive it daily (66,000 miles), what a wonderful machine \"she\" is!
The car is overloaded with accessories, all factory options including 17 x 145 Pirelli's mounted on low profile 5 spoke wheels. The workshop at VNAC, Rockleigh, NJ, fitted the 760 alarm & remote entry system to the car.
I could never fathom why for the Flagship Volvo didn't offer this as standard.
I will get the rest of the information on my vehicle, no paint code ID was ever found, we finally tracked it down via Sweden, Italy and then Switzerland! It's a 3 part finish and very classy.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Thank you for this side !
Please make also updates i hope i get new information from you
by
<\/a><\/p>\n

Was smashed in the roof and I saved it.
Blue a head gasket and that cost $600 in parts,
not counting my labor.<\/p>\n

Nice ride overall, just a bit sad on the fuel consumption.

This '90 model 780 is equipped with a brembo racing brake system, a specially designed high power exhaust system and an improved
and lowered suspension for better roadholding and handling. Recently the car has been freshly repainted.
The paintwork has been done in a way far better than Bertone ever managed to do.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I info on how I could acquire authentic interior and exterior parts for my motor car.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

THIS IS A VERY RARE CAR HERE IN PORTUGAL.
ONLY 20 WERE IMPORTED. I BOUGHT IT SIX MONTHS AGO, AND IT\u00b4S WONDERFULL.
IT\u00b4S MY EVERYDAY\u00b4S CAR, AND I\u00b4M VERY PROUD OF IT.
EVERYBODY LOOK AT IT AS IT WAS A PORSCHE, BUT IT COSTS 10%!!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

CAR LOOKS AS NEW,EVEN WITH MILAGE OF 185,000.
RUNS GREAT,NOT A SPOT OF RUST EVER.HEAD TURNER.
NEVER DRIVEN IN WINTER WEATHER.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I am searching after original-rims, power-antenna, and the mat over the spare-wheel!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

An amazing car. I couldn't be happier with any other vehicle, even a plane.
This car makes driving a joy. I wouldn't trade it in for a BMW.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

The X in stead of an zero in the chassinumber is for me a mysterium.
Some people says it stands for experimental, made for Volvo's own purpose.
The car is registered for the first time in march 1989, but it is built already in august 1988.
Cars built in august 1988 should normaly be built as yearmodel 1989, and yearmodel 1989 had obligatory katalyst (B280F), which my car don't have.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Engine replaced in yr 2000 @ 281,000 miles.
61,000 currently on engine.
THIS CAR IS A DREAM!!!!!!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

This car was commissioned by AB volvo as a test color car, in November 1990,
at Bertone in Italy, with special \"Pearlescent White\" paint, for \"future model\" introductions.
I have owned the car since NEW and now after 68,000 miles
I truly belive this is THE ULTIMATE 780, with 17\" rims factory fitted!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I have only had this car a few months and i really enjoy it.
Its very unique. I only wish I could get more than 20mpgs.
Also I love those power braking tire smoking burnouts from my Bert.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I have been told by someone at a Volvo dealership here in Lisbon that there are only 4 780 Bertones in Portugal.
How is that for exclusivity!

I bought the car from an old retired guy 2 years ago.
The car only had 44000 miles when I got it!!I am having some minor problems w\/ it.
Passenger side power seat works occasionally?? Power sunroof the same.
There must be an electrical problem - maybe a short.
Rear speakers need to be replaced - they have dry rotted and the power antenna stopped going up last month.
These are all minor complaints for a twelve year old car.
I just had the 60K service done and this baby runs like a champ.
I get a lot of people asking me about this car - it's kind of funny.
I have only seen 2 other ones like it on the road. I would love to hear from others who have one like it.
Are you having similar electrical problems??
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

A magnificent Volvo. I use it as a daily driver.
it has typical power seat switch problems. and the 'bertone mystery battery draw'
turned out to be a short in the front audio amp.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Car looks and feels like new.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

A dream come true. I am a long time volvo enthusiast (my other car is a 1973 1800es).
Due to the high milage of this car I am planning to convert it to a B230ft+M46 to
replace the v6 automatic. Any advise on this would be appreciated. Thank you for this
wonderfull site.<\/p>\n

Thank You<\/p>\n

I love my 780, affectionately known as \"BERT-1\"
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Just bought this car.I am looking for an owners manual as this car has more electronics than i am used to.
My other volvos are the240 models.
<\/a><\/p>\n

1989 Volvo 780 with M90 5sp transmission, H4 euro headlights and wipers, side markers and sway bars.
Only 42K. A joy to drive.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

my second 780, great cars
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Just bought it from a used dealer. Original engine was replaced with 4cyl-Turbo from 740 model (180000km).
I am experiencing battery drain problem that others have described (have to boost every day),
as well as other electrical \"quirks\".
Beautiful car, but I'm hoping these electrical issues don't drive me crazy.
There is another 780 in my neighbourhood that just sits on the street in neglect - such a shame!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I am also looking for a Volvo repairman in Toronto if you know anybody.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Had one back in 1992, sold him unfortunately, got a 262ce, sold him also in 1998, now 2002-
back in the saddle again, have one and will never sell him !
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Would you have any info. on how many of the 1991 780's were made?
I'm looking for any info. that you would have about the car.
The car is in excellent shape and I'm trying to price it for the insurance.
23-5-2003 I love this car... Volvo Canada contacted me and informed me that this was the only 1991 ever sold in Canada.
The car is in amazing shape and drives like a dream. Unfortunately I have to part with it.
I'm looking for someone that is going to keep this car in good shape.
It is a jewel and is going to bring someone a lot of happiness. Make me an offer.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Just bought the car and LOVE IT !!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Beautiful Coupe!! Showroom condition.
Purchased on 7-1-02 as my daily driver. Everything works (knock on wood!).
Also have access to spare car for parts.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Great car to drive. Good power and acceleration, great brakes and handling. Very comfortable seats.
Heating is excellent in our very cold (-40C) temeperatures. Good air conditioning for our hot days (+30C) of summer.
Major problems are rear shocks - Nivomat self levelling - where do I find replacements at a reasonable price (ie less than $200.00 Cdn)?
Have some trouble with radio, it doesn't keep preset station tunings.
Front drivers power seat is erratic and often does not work for adjustments.<\/p>\n

Car is in A++ condition, having been stored since new in Georgia, USA. Absolutely no rust.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

My 2nd Coupe. \u00a0\u00a0 I like the independant suspension.

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

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

In process of adding front\/rear IPD sway bars (no longer produced) with Bilstein shocks.
Will soon add Vx camshaft, 1990 header, 2.5in exhaust and T3\/T4 hybrid turbo to get around 240hp.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

It's a marvellous car, some problems with the sunroof (as usual)and electric details

I sold an '88 740GLE several years ago and promised myself that when I got another car,
it would be a Volvo.
I was browsing through EBay a few weeks ago and found a beautiful '89 780 Bertone Black\/Beige with 91,000 miles,
two hours and 30 minutes later, when the auction ended, I was the higheset bidder.
I flew out to Chicago to pick it up a week later and it drove home to Beantown like a dream.
I love my car!!!!!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

This car has just been imported into the UK.
It came from Michigan but little is known of its previous history.
At present it is in poor condition but it has been sent to the Volvo agent in Carlisle to be made roadworthy at least.
Do you have a record of any other 780s in the UK, please?

If I have the correct production numbers, there were only 79 780's made after this one. It was first registered in May of 1992.<\/p>\n

Alas, my beautiful 780, Sophia, gave her life for mine on November 29, 2006.
She had 207,000 miles and was in perfect condition until someone illegally passing hit me head on.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I just acquired this vehicle 9\/20\/03 and my first experience in a Volvo was to immediately drive this
one cross country 1640 miles from South Florida to Rochester, New York.
I was very pleased with its performance and ride comfort.
The only drawback for me is that it is very hard to get in and out of the car because
I cannot adjust the seat low enough for my 6'2\" height and I have to keep the moon roof cover open to avoid hitting my head.

Currently reasearching \"How To\"'s, intention is to restore to OEM standards.
Parts are rare and expensive, but since I am a car guy, oh well.
Maybe I'll keep it and get another car for my daughter.
I love everything about it except the Novimasts and the automatic.
This car should be a manual. the engine is a little lethargic...any advice on performance upgrading for the V6 is welcome.

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

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

I purchased the car in Virginia, sight unseen, w\/a V6 I thought to repower with a V8.
Drove it and was amazed at how smooth and quiet it was.
Several other shops agree it is tight, only very minor leaks. No tears in leather.
Clean CarFax. Just sold to my son, keeping it in family.
Would love to keep it but the 122 project calls! May get another one someday.

It's a fantastic car...but with a lot of small problems...
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Car still needs a bit of love as the drivers seat doesn't move and the last owner was short and I'm tall.
But other than that this is the greatest car I have ever owned.
It took me 3 months to find and I had to drive 90 miles to get it but it was worth it!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

The auto is almost perfect I have a well three problems with it someone cracked the driver side rear stop light.
It will sometimes drop in to over drive and will not come out for a while and when I punch
it it will bog around 80 if I take it slower it will run up to 115-125 easy any ideas.
I WILL KEEP FOR EVER
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Unfortunately this fine, and rare car is to be parted out, unless someone wants to take it on as a project.
A fine driver, lightly damaged in an accident, last year. calafornia car until 3\/06, car now resides indoors,
15 miles north of providence. car is complete, and almost everything works.
I also have annother spare B230ft engine with 140K and strong compression, complete with turbo, in a wood shipping crate. its White with blue-black int.<\/p>\n

Yes: like almost every single other 780 ive ever seen- the front underspoiler is dammaged,
The dash is cracked in front of the passenger seat, and the stiching hase come un-done on the drivers seat bottom (but re-sewable)<\/p>\n

The accident dammage is limited to: dented front passenger side fender, and drivers side rear quaterpannel, dented in, under the gas filler.
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

First paint. Almost perfect and original car. Delivered first in USA and came to the netherlands in 1990. Dutch license plates.

This was a turbo car. I have put a modified 5.0 HO from a Mustang Cobra in it with a 5 spd trans. and a 100 HP nitrious setup.

Engine has been rebuilt and I will be repairing paint....spots worn due to south Texas sun.<\/p>\n

Any suggestions?<\/p>\n

Interior in good condition, other than a minor exhaust problem, runs well, if a little rich right now because of hole in exhaust.
<\/a><\/p>\n

The Volvo 780 Bertone is my dream car!
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

The looks from Bertone and the Quality from Volvo. Nice engine with enough torque and nice V6 sound. Thirsty engine and build in weak interieur inside doorpanals.

This car is in pristine condition - really only 75 miles in 20 years. It is my daily driver.
<\/a><\/p>\n

This car is recently imported to Denmark from Sweden.
It has been restored due to rust in roof. It is in real fine condition.
Engine and tranny is running smoothly as well as the interior is pretty fine too.
All electrical equipment works fine (pwr seats, moon roof, A\/C, ABS, pwr windows, pwr mirrors, cruise control, etc.).
Only 13 were sold in Denmark (due to excessive car taxation in DK, the price was astronomic).
Since I was 17 I wanted one. I've been told that 8 (eight) 780's are living in DK by now.
Guess mine will be the ninth, when I get my licence plates.
It is a real comfy cruiser and I'm in love with it, -despite the 15 liters pr. 100 km fuel economy...
Body restored to a very fine condition w\/o any rust what so ever.
A\/C restored and converted. Everything original except the stereo.
Original engine and tranny. Swedish car with B280E imported to DK last november.

I purchased my Bertone from it's original owner in presentable but a little rough condition,
running strong and quite well, in February 2009,
I have always admired the styling of the 780 and I am quite proud to finally own one of these very fine rare automobiles...
I always wanted one and now I have one of my own....
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Just bought it a few weeks ago... Wanted one for a long time (used to have a 242GT for the last 20 years....

Been working on it quite a bit. It's original, all there(except for console plaque), & fully operational.
Great car & serves as my daily driver.

The car runs well, but the fuel gage is always 3\/4 full.
<\/a><\/p>\n

10 years later... the 780 is not my daily transport...
My Bertone is still running strong and a delight to drive...
I have yet to find a more comfortable driver's seat. JRF

I am the former owner of 780 chassi no 1707 (210 in the members list).
<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Car was purchased in March of this year (2012), in very neglected condition. I have been working on it for about 4-5 weeks.
My goal for this car is to keep it all Volvo, just better, faster, stronger. No modifications will be done that alter original aspects of car.
With the exception of replacing leather and plastic interior parts for interior improvements. No \"harm\" will be done. Only improvements.
The car will recieve re-built '93 squiter-block, 19T turbo upgrade, '95 AW-71 trans. w\/ Hi-Stall converter.
Other mods will follow as staged.
Power goals: 350HP

I have just imported this 780 from Japan. I understand
that it was one of about 500 780's officially imported to Japan. It would appear to
be a special edition promoting Diners Club! The car is in great shape has been well
cared for and is being UK registered. It resides in the North West of England.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
