Price: US $500.00
This is a rare Volvo, designed and built at the Bertone factory in Italy. From 1987 through 1991 fewer than 11, 000 of these 780 Bertones were built. They commanded a price of $40, 000 . . . in 1990 dollars! All 780s were equipped with automatic transmissions and power moonroofs. This stylish car has the practicality of a Volvo, with better performance and comfort. It also has the handling and tiny turning circle of rear-wheel drive.
This Bertone was first sold in Texas, and soon moved to California. I bought it in the Los Angeles area in 2002, when it had 112, 000 miles on it. It now has 249k miles, and is a very strong runner (the strongest of the four I have owned). It has the 2300 cc turbo four, one of the most reliable engines ever built. The timing belt is new, and suspension components are recent. Serviced regularly at Volvo Pit Stop in Glendale, California, with all records available. No dents, only a couple of dings. Broken corner marker lens, available on eBay.
