The VOLVO 780 is a special version of the VOLVO 760 model, built by Bertone in Italy. A total of only 8518 were built between 1986 and 1991. With the proven performance of the 760, the Bertone design and luxury, the light 2 door chassis, it's really a VOLVO sports car. The interior of the car is quite impressive with the premium sound system, wood trims, leather seats. The partnership between Volvo and Bertone of Italy started in the 70's when Volvo commisionned Bertone to design an ultra luxury model based on its top of the line Volvo 260 model. The Volvo 262C was created, later renamed Coupé, and sold from 1978 to 1981. The Volvo 780 is the second model Volvo created in partnership with Bertone. The 780 was available with a 6 cylinder engine or a 4 cylinder Turbo charged engine. The same engine used in the 760 and 740 models. The drivetrain is the same as a 760, including engine, suspension , transmission, rear axle and more. However every body panel and interior parts are different from the 760, including doors, fenders, tail lights, grills, seats and more. Because of the low production and low support from VOLVO themselves, body parts are hard to find for the 780. The 780 is already a collectable VOLVO model because of its rarity, but it doesnt translate in $ value because VOLVO enthusiasts stay away from those expensive models with only 2 door (not practical) and 6 cylinder engine. From the outside the 780 doesn't look much different from a lot of other cars on the road, so it is not noticed by car collectors in general.
