Volvo 780 Fuel Door 700 1989



I'm looking for a fuel door for my 1989 Volvo 780 Bertone Coupe.
Would be cool if it was complete with the hinge and spring clip.
If anyone has one laying around please let me know.
Thanks Bricksters!


Sorry for the picture being upside down.

    In a Rolling article, the gas door was designed in Italy - the first door design was aimed at something like 2000 cycles - Volvo told them to design for 10,000 cycles.

    Have you tried a dealer? It may be a point of pride to supply parts for that special car.

    I am not familiar with Bertone gas doors, but aren't they the same as 740, 940?

    I don't know how successful you would be in replacing yours with one that includes the used hinge. The "keepers" on those are a one time use item. You position the hinge to the panel and press in the pins. That action expands the blind side securing the hinge to the body panel.

    You might include the color you need. It would great to find the correct color and not have to paint it.
