Our Take:
- Rarity Factor: It's not every day you stumble across a Volvo 780 Bertone—the production numbers were modest with just 8,518 units made from 1986 to 1991. This rarity factor makes it a gem for collectors who appreciate a blend of Swedish engineering and Italian design flair.
- Distinctive Collaboration: The 780 Bertone was a product of a unique partnership between Volvo and the Italian design house, Bertone. Assembled in Turin, Italy, this model stands out with its elegant lines and European sophistication—perfect for those who value an international pedigree.
- Engine and Performance: Under the hood is a 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed automatic—a combo that balances reasonable performance with everyday drivability. The recently rebuilt turbo adds a touch of modern reliability to its classic appeal.
- Interior and Features: The butterscotch leather interior invites you into a world of 80s luxury, complete with power-adjustable seats and a sunroof. The basket weave wheels and cassette stereo (featuring a parametric EQ—how retro-cool is that?) add to the nostalgic charm of this classic ride.
