A Swedish-Italian Gem || 1988 Volvo 780 Bertone (37k original miles) || Full Tour & Start Up

[@slh950]

wow ... a real "bear tone"

[@DarrenPersad]

This video was just a huge memory trip for me - we had a white '90 780 Turbo back in the day. It was the best car I could ever hope for - we replaced it with a '98 XJ8, and although I loved the Jag, that Volvo was a dream. Heck, we'd had Volvos before, an '89 740 GL wagon as the family hauler, and an '84 240 sedan (which was before my time). I want another 740 to daily, but I want a 780 for a restoration project. Cheers, mate!

[@Channel_FD]

Man those seats are so stylish. What a fantastic car.

[@blahmooblah789]

I’ve had my 87’ for five years and its just great to have. Solid car.

[@seansullivan4709]

Ber-Tony, it's an Italian design house and builder.

[@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn]

Wow what an awesome, car,with all the elegant accents & equipment for the time period

[@TheRealEmile]

I didn't know this car existed, but have to say as a big Volvo fan I like it alot!

[@arttafil6792]

The Real Emile the performance version is the later turbo 4 cylinder version with about 190hp.

[@norbo002]

[@joedon9758]

[@ChevyBM]

That interior is soo cool! Super 80's

[@Area51UFOGynaecology]

super cool car

[@Jensen423]

I have 1990 one with 137k I drive as a daily and it’s so smooth and reliable!

[@dauntae24]

I drove a 89 turbo into a tree back in 98. Lit.

[@finaltouchautodetailingllc]

These are actually pretty awesome cars

[@dauntae24]

I had a 1991 780 Turbo back in 1999. I was able to get it up to 125 mph. I crashed it into a tree and fractured my shoulder (the air bag didn’t deploy). I loved that car. Red with the two tone tan interior. Also, you mispronounce Bertone. Great job explaining who Bertone was and his contributions to auto design.

[@daliensb]

Nice video. Love this car !

[@CoolStuffInWeirdCars]

Thank you!

[@theodorhildingsson3654]

[@gustavusadolphus4103]

They are easy to find in Sweden, im sure the shipping aint that expensive. www.autouncle.se/se/begagnade-bilar/Volvo/780

[@juankenon]

Same, Volvo had/has a very limited presence here, there are a handful of 700s on the road but no coupes.

[@adamknopp6631]

Mike Forager he needs to slow down for sure!

[@craigmonteforte1478]

One of Volvos coolest cars IMO. It was their attempt to compete with Mercedes and BMW at that time the import cars. In America were. Really selling well in he 80s and all of them kept adding fancier and more luxiourious models i was suprised this model didnt have cruise control as standard equipment ? The one featured did not have any. On it i had a 1981 242 that had it and i thought that Cruise was standard on that model ? Although it was a new car on the dealers lot so maybe i did pay for it i just didnt order the car so i dont recall paying a option fee i was raised in a Volvo freindly home as my father loved them for the safety features ! We had several wagons through out the 70s and 80s and my Dad did most of the repair work at our home

[@ibrahimelsadi7790]

Where this car at I love to buy one

[@stuartyoung4182]

1800, C30 and 780 - my favorite Volvos. I must say, though, that this one seems a bit - TALLER in its stance than I remember...is it the "crossover" version? ;-) Someone please lower this car an inch or so!

[@jjmac3561]

Ah the very rare Bare Town

[@justdoinit2378]

Clean

[@adamknopp6631]

I heard baritone and Burt own, but not Berton ‘e’

[@andreilazar7495]

[@MrTruth111]

@Some One Bertone, its Italian! Hey Tony, same as Bertony

[@MrTruth111]

@Some One kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnmxnmuLjq1sm9U at 0:47 she says Alberto Berton e

[@Bod8998]

Nice but still like the 262C looks better

[@shawncurtis3686]

I have one of these, I'm going to put a redblock in it.

[@deadkemper]

[@buckmaster5552]

[@pablocruiser209]

[@MrTruth111]

Ahhhh no drive?

[@franciscoayala9666]

Yo tengo un Volvo 89740 gl el tiene vibración

[@DarrenPersad]

Okay, sorry for the second comment, but I absolutely have to know; is this car being sold by a dealer? If so, could you please give me either their contact info or website? I need this 780 in my life!

[@CoolStuffInWeirdCars]

It is! check it out here: www.motoexotica.com/inventory/listing/1988-volvo-780-bertone/

[@DarrenPersad]

Thanks a ton!

[@CoolStuffInWeirdCars]

No problem.

[@finnchurchill2206]

Can I buy it form you

[@CoolStuffInWeirdCars]

It's currently queued up at the Kansas City Mecum auction going on right now, but there's no guarantee it'll sell. You can check out the listing here ( www.motoexotica.com/inventory/listing/1988-volvo-780-bertone/ ) in about a week to see if it's sold.

[@adamgoodman5887]

It’s pronounced “Bur-Tone-A” kid.

[@erikperik1000]

I think it's pronounced Bertone not Bear-Tone.

[@michaelhughes3302]

The most Radfest car ever, EVER!

[@williamho9487]

Talk clearly with pausing please

[@arttafil6792]

The V6 was made by a consortium of Renault and Pugeaut. What a messed-up combination. You could tune it every day and it never stayed that way. On paper it looked like a grand design but wasn’t.

[@seansullivan4709]

They also used the same engine in the Delorean. If I bought a V6, I'd swap the Volvo inline six from a later model.

[@varmastiko2908]

And Peugeot won LeMans 24H with this engine.
