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 recalls 460,000 cars worldwide for potentially deadly airbags

Tue, Oct 5 2021

Volvo and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have released an expanded recall for just shy of 260,000 of its S60 and S80 sedans. Including those 260,000 cars in the U.S., the recall worldwide numbers about 460,000. The recall affects 2001-2009 S60s and 2001-2006 S80s, which have airbag inflators that could have degraded and could blast shrapnel into occupants. If that sounds familiar, it's because the monumental Takata airbag recall was for the same basic reason. But these Volvo devices aren't Takata airbags. Instead, these airbags were manufactured by ZF, the company that builds all varieties of automotive components but is probably best-known among car enthusiasts for their transmissions. The inflators use a material that, when exposed to high levels of moisture, can start to break down and form dust-like particles. These can ignite rapidly, more so than the component was designed for, which can cause the component to break and release metal shrapnel. According to the Associated Press, this material is different than the ammonium nitrate used by Takata. According to the NHTSA documentation, there has been one incident reported concerning the airbags, in which a person died. Volvo will replace all affected airbags at no charge to the customer. The replacement airbag apparently uses a different type of propellant, so it likely won't need to be replaced again. Dealers have already been informed, and owner notices will be going out at the end of November. If you have an affected Volvo, you can call 1-800-458-1552, and the recall number for Volvo is R10125.

Volvo wants this car to be the Crown Vic of global police fleets

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

It has been years since the last Ford Crown Victoria rolled off the assembly line, but these body-on-frame sedans are still the most recognizable police cars in the US. Volvo is making a strong push in hopes that its XC70 can attain the same level of success as a global police car. As it is, Volvo is a popular choice for police cars in its home country of Sweden, but its cars are also used in police fleets in the UK, Belgium and Switzerland.
With an upgraded chassis, Volvo is looking to attract agencies from around the globe, including the rest of Europe, Asia and even the Americas. Changes over a stock 2014 XC70 include a beefier suspension setup, and the automaker has also tested the police-spec version of the jacked-up wagon in just about all conditions it could encounter in Europe - from the high speeds of the German autobahn to the low traction of Sweden's snowy, winter roads. We doubt we'll see many, if any, of these Volvos policing the streets of the US, but if we do, we're sure it will be in New England, Colorado or North Carolina.
