Apparently its the Volvo 780 Series
I know there is a greater want for coupes in America than here, so i wonder fi it was sold there?
I cant remember it here No, we here in America, did not get that car. We did, however get the 1997-2003 Volvo S70 Coupe/Convertibles. A very sweet car, BTW ! Ever notice that the back end of the 1997-2003 Vovvo S70 Coupe, from the rear window down to the rear taillamps/bumper is a dead ringer for a Mercedes Benz Coupe ? mccombie_5 09-04-05, 08:33 PM No, we here in America, did not get that car.

YEah i had one of the C70s in 1999, the same year my wife had a CLK320 the rear end is the same. I just didnt know the C70 had a predecessor. (sp)
My mother had a Volvo 480 Turbo
They were great, i still love the styling

Yeah it was a VERY nice car indeed. Mine was a 1999 2.3T Mine was black, with tan interior. All options. Very fast, very comfortable, seated four in as much comfort as the V70 i had the year before.. Great car. I would have another.

that reminds me of the old p1800 Msilva954 09-05-05, 09:51 AM One man in a friends neighbor hood has a 1991 or something like that...everytime I drive by it I want it more and more...yes it is bertone....the guy is owner of a Florida Volvo club/tuner shop mccombie_5 09-05-05, 09:57 AM Nah sandy thats not mine, mine was exactly like it though. The 780 is a nice looking car, i didnt even know they existed, i stumbled accros some pictures accidentally.
Its a nice looking coupe. I still think the C70 is one of the best looking 2+2s built, i much prefer it over a Mercedes. terrible one 09-05-05, 10:04 AM I agree, the wheels on that thing really hit it off. I really like the looks of that thing. mccombie_5 09-05-05, 10:07 AM Yeah they it was a nice alternative to the S70 i was going to get. I knew of the C70, and looked into it, i didnt even test the S70.
EDIT: The wheels were aftermarket, Volvo wheels mccombie_5 09-05-05, 10:48 AM I also just found this:
I dont think this one was ever built

Didnt think so.... :D Stoneage_Caddy 09-05-05, 12:43 PM wish they would have , i like that mccombie_5 09-05-05, 12:46 PM wish they would have , i like that
The S/V90s were great. Last of the BIG volvos. A coupe would have been a great addition i suppose. | |
