1990 Volvo 780 Bertone
Matthew A Paulauskas, 12/11/2002
1990 Volvo 780 Turbo 2dr Coupe
Prior to purchasing this Volvo I knew
very little about thier cars. I did a
little research and found out that the
car I was buying was not just a Volvo
but also a Bertone. For anyone not
familiar with Bertone, it is an Italian
car designer who designs and hand
builds only a handful of European cars.
8500 were built of this particular
model over five years. The car was … built
from 1986 until 1990(several '90
Bertones were carried over to '91). It
is a rock-solid car with an extremely
comfortable ride and interior. This car
was around $38,000 when it was new in
'86 and is, as far as I'm concerned,
still worth every penny today.

What Bargains
DallasCarguy, 11/25/2008
1990 Volvo 780 Turbo 2dr Coupe
Love this car. All the looks of a Maserati, Ferrari or other Italian 4 seater with Volvo reliability. Mine was owned by a Volvo tech who shaved the head & rebuilt everything from suspension to new nivomat shocks. I paid 5000 dollars for this car and feel like it was a bargain. MSRP in 90 on this car was around 42k. The total built over all the years includes v-6, turbo 4 cyl, turbo … diesel, and twin cam turbos. I think the turbo 4 is the best of the bunch. I have a 240 Volvo with 488,000 miles with the same basic motor. People ask what it is, say they have never seen one & how they love the car. The 90 & up turbos used the Mitsubishi turbo, so less lag. All around great car.

These are amazing cars!!

Not sure why the 780 Bertone has been so
overlooked. ipd in Oregon can provide
performance parts to suit your tastes.
Everyone who rides in my car (front or
back) remarks on the supple ride. Sure
it's modified but even when it was
stock, it was a very regal handler.
Very consistent with no surprises. I
bought my girlfriend one and she loves
it. I have no plans to sell mine … ever.
These are not cheap cars. They are very
rare and have as my girfriend says
"elegant" lines. I'd buy another if it
was well maintained.

1989 Volvo 780 Bertone Turbo
Patty Vollen-Togo, 06/17/2018
1990 Volvo 780 Turbo 2dr Coupe
This car is a tank, luxury that was built to last. This particular model is for Volvo enthusiasts, Italian Swedish, only a few thousand made, and the chosen car for its CEO at the time of production. I am it’s 2nd owner, I have had this beauty for 11 years, only put 40k miles on it. This car is pristine inside & out.
