Son bought it from an old Lady

(and now it's too much for him too handle)

 

 

The Volvo 780 Coup? debuted at the International Auto Show in Geneva, Switzerland in 1985, marking Volvo's return to the two-door coup? market following the departure of the 262C in 1981. The 780 became available in Europe in 1986 and in United States a year later.

 

The 780 was designed and built by Carrozzeria Bertone in Turin, Italy. The hood, trunk, and roof lines 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.

 

In the car's final year, 1991, it was rebadged simply as "Coup?". At this point, the car came only in turbo guise.

 

Volvo's official production total for the 780 is 8,518 cars built between 1986 and 1991. From 1986 to 1995, Volvo offered a small, sporty coup?, the front-wheel drive Volvo 480, but a successor to the 780 would only be introduced in 1997 when the C70 became available.

Here is what history I have. My son is the 2nd owner after he bought it from a Family who transferred the title 3 times within the Family. The granddaughter inherited it from grandma who got it from grandpa. It was kept in their Family since buying it new. It sat idle for many years after the grandmother died. The grandkids were to donate it as a tax break in 2011 but that’s when my son met the Family while doing volunteer work.

We were a Volvo family ourselves so he knew Volvos were a good car.

 

My son acquired the car from the Family in 2012. There were no maintenance records because it hadn’t been driven for years. There is the original owners manual and burgundy leather folder. 

 

The front lower end, grill area, is missing or damaged. Inside leather is aged and some front seams are undone. Inside ceiling is worn out. Dirty floor carpet. Original old worn floor mats supplied. Plastic covers on front seat rails are are missing. Both seats move forward for rear access. Missing glove box cover. Windows work and are not cracked. Has original working stereo. Water drips slowly near the water pump. My past Volvo experience says water pump problem. Brakes vibrate. Turbo engine sounds smooth.

 

Email me for a personal viewing of the car at a US Post Office parking lot 45 minutes north of SF.

Volvo already planning road-going V8 Supercar?

Sat, 15 Mar 2014

After decades of cat-and-mouse battle waged between Holden and Ford, Australia's V8 Supercars series has expanded considerably. Mercedes and Nissan both joined the grid last season, and Volvo has followed suit this year. So when 2014 championship kicked off earlier this month in Adelaide, everyone was watching to see who would come out on top.
The answer is Holden, which took first place in all three of the weekend's races. In fact the General Motors division locked out the podium in the first and third races and took first and third places in the second race, letting just one other manufacturer onto the podium the entire weekend - and that was Volvo. The Polestar S60 scored second place on its first race weekend, beating all the Nissan Altimas, the Mercedes E63 AMGs, the Ford Falcons and most of the Holden Commodores.
Now that's hardly winning the championship, but it's a very solid debut. And that point was not lost on the people back at headquarters in Sweden, who are already thinking about making a roadgoing version of the race-spec V8 Supercar.

Tina Fey sits down with Seinfeld for new CiCGC

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Recently Jerry Seinfeld went out for a videotaped cup of coffee with Jay Leno in a vintage Gmund Porsche. Switching coasts and cars, this time New York's own son returns to his city for a jaunt in a 1967 Volvo 1800S with fellow New Yorker Tina Fey for the latest episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
The trip takes them uptown to Cuban coffee shop Floridita in Harlem, then back downtown to a pastry shop. On the way, Jerry calls out a photo shoot for using a fake Porsche, and Fey admits she doesn't have a driver's license. Driving cars, she says, "is like Twitter to me." Which she also doesn't do - she lasted seven tweets in 2009.
You can check out the episode below as they go in search of coffee, the rare guanabana/soursop juice, Jerry's even more elusive product placement and the last Cronut in NYC.

Heico jacks up Volvo V40 Cross Country to create XC40

Sat, 24 May 2014

Because life isn't fair, we don't get the stylish wagon known as the Volvo V40 in the United States. That means we don't get its soft-roading cousin, the V40 Cross Country. So, naturally, if Volvo tuner Heico Sportiv ever produces this ruggedized, XC-styled V40 Cross Country, it most certainly wouldn't cross the pond, either.
That makes us sad, because despite holding a tiny bit of contempt for small luxury crossovers, this is a very, very cool looking vehicle. It's just a render right now, but Heico Sportiv is looking to offer the kit to V40 Cross Country owners who want a smaller version of the Volvo XC60.
Converting a V40 CC into an XC40 would start with some suspension tweaks. The ride height would be raised by just over an inch, in order to improve the looks of the soft-roader and deliver a more CUV-like ingress and egress. New shocks would also be fitted, as well. Wheel-arch extensions were also added to complete the look.
