Description of 1980 Volvo 262C BERTONE BERTONE

Rare opportunity to own a very rare professionally completed Bertone Coupe powered by1990 Volvo B230FTurbo high power drivetrain. The ECM has been chipped for higher HP output. No expense was spared in the initial build of this vehicle and subsequent maintenance and repairs. The owner has asked us not to disclose the mid five figure total spend in the printed ad, all and I will share this with you (Keep in mind I did state this was a professional conversion). This is not one of the partially finished shade tree conversions using the smaller B21FT drivetrains that you have seenfor sale before.Even non-car enthusiasts recognize this as a very special car, t turns heads everywhere you go. Great for starting conversations with?Bought as a pristine one owner local Dallas Bertone Coupe with awell running original V6 engine, he B230FT conversion involved over 60 man hours of work to correctly integrate the drivetrain wiring harness and all accessories to function at factory levelwith the body and instrumentation. The instrument cluster is an age appropriate original Volvo Rallye unit with fullanalog gauge package. A very rare factory hidden self closing coin holder isinstalled on the dash. The analog center clock was removed and a Zeitronix LCD display panel seamlessly mounted to look factory original in it's place that displaysLambda, ir/fuel mixture, xhaust gas temperature and turbo boost pressure. This panel is integrated with a wide band O2 sensor to facilitate the digital signals. Ice cold A/C floods the cabin with refrigerator comfort providing an oasis of comfort in the summer.The inside of the door panels were sprayed with body shutes bituminous coating for sound deadening and corrosion protection. You can readily feel this when closing the doors with a Rolls Royce like quality clunk. All modifications were completed using Volvo bolt on parts that are readily available and serviceable.Very recent Michelin Primacy MXv's mounted on Volvo 16" directional turbo rimswere selectedalong with Bilstein shocks andfront and rear IPd anti-sway barsand strut tower braces for exceptional handling. It is amazing how flat this car is in turns, ven at extra legal speeds. The headlights have been replaced with correct Ecode glass headlights with power relay to insure maximum voltagefor brightest beam strength. The trunk lid has been updated withlater style 240 with integrated trunk lock cylinder. This vehicle has been parked out of the sun in an underground high rise condo parking garage, ence there are no cracks in the original dash covered with a custom textile cover and all the hand sewn Italian leather inside is in pristine condition. The driver seat leather panels have been professionally replaced with supple new leather and is indistinguishable from theItalian original. The top of the line audio system that provides concert level quality sound consists of Alpine CDE-HD138BT head unit with MBquart rear deck speakers providing CD/HD radio/ SAT/ w auxiliary port on front face and Infinity Basslink subwoofer in trunk. Quite possibly the finest Bertone Coupe in the USA if not the world. Must be seen and driven to believe.
