Volvo 780
Bertone CoupeYV1HA8724KD[hidden information]
+++ Fewer Than 108,000 Original Miles +++
+++
Only Three Owners From New +++
In
the summer of 1975 my newlywed wife and I acquired our first of many Volvos.
I still regret selling that ’67 122S two-door
and I’ll feel the same when this rare Bertone Coupe is loaded-out or the
lucky new caretaker flies in to begin a fall road trip home! If
you’re familiar with these unique cars and might be in the market for one, you
can stop now. I seriously doubt you’ll
find another this great! This car sold new
in sunny California and spent its first 20 years there, driven sparingly by the
first and second owners. Eleven years agothe
Bertone left San Francisco for the Great Pacific Northwest and has been here
ever since. If you’ve ever wanted to own a beautiful, hand-built
Italian car, but want a reliable Volvo underneath – this is absolutely the ride
for you! My name is Mark and my direct number is 206/[hidden information].
Feel free to call or text me anytime with questions or to discuss a
purchase before the auction ends.Most
of us “Volvophiles” know how few and special these second-generation Bertone
Coupes were as a milestone in the marque’s history. Here’s a little background I’ve come across
while researching over the years:
“The
Volvo 780 coupe made its debut at the International Auto Show in Geneva,
Switzerland in 1985. It marked the return of a two-door 2+2 seater coupe to the
Volvo stable after a four-year absence following the departure of the 262C in
1981. The 780 became available in Europe in 1986, and would come to the United
States a year later.
Like
its predecessor, the 780 was designed and built by Carrozzeria Bertone in Turin,
Italy. However, unlike the 262C, the 780 was not merely a two-door 760 with a
"chop top" roof. Bertone gave the 780 its own distinctive shape which
set it apart from the other models, yet was still identifiable as a Volvo. The
car had a sleek, low profile, inheriting some of the styling of the other 700
series cars, but without many of the severe angles and sharp corners. 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, thanks to Bertone’s mere 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.
Headlamps
were large, flush-mounted units with integrated high and low halogen beams, and
the grille was a black, "egg-crate" design similar to the 740 Turbo.
Fog lamps were integrated into the air dam.
The
original 780 had wide 205/60 HR15 tires mounted on signature 15-inch, 15-spoke
alloy wheels, and was also offered in certain color schemes not available to
any other models.
Following
traditional Italian coach building practice, Bertone endowed the 780 with
badges of its name and famous logo, which appear on the base of the C-pillars.
The
780’s interior also received Bertone’s undivided attention. The instrument
cluster and general dashboard layout was carried over from the 760, but
otherwise the interior was uniquely designed for the model. Birch burl wood
accents with a high-gloss finish highlighted the dashboard and door panels.
In
front were contoured, sculpted bucket seats with height-adjustable
headrests-reminiscent of Bertone’s classic designs for Alfa Romeo and Ferrari
in the late 60's and early 70's. This style of bucket seat would be imitated
extensively by most automakers by the early 90's. The rear seat was specially
shaped for two occupants and featured integrated headrests. Seats were, of
course, covered in hand-stitched leather.
An amplifier mounted in the trunk under the rear packing shelf. Map reading lights were installed above and
behind the rear passenger side windows. Buttons on the side of both the driver
and passenger seatbacks tilted the seatbacks forward to allow for entry to the
rear.”
