Just wanted to let everyone know I am a new owner of a 1987 780 Bertone. It's a California car w/44k miles, and complete service records since day one. Not a crack in the leather or the dash, not a scratch ANYWHERE on the inside. This car is immaculate, and was garage kept since bought new. Radiator was flushed and refilled at least 4 times since new, and oil was changed at least every 4k miles. Newer rotors, brakes, tires, and everything. I feel guilty leaving it outside right now but have a few questions.
Where's the best place to get 780 parts - maybe a post on Brickboard? Mine's missing two pieces of plastic - the red lens on the outside of the passenger door to let you know it's open, and a piece of blue plastic on the side of the passenger seat. Otherwise it's all there - air dam and all without a flaw. Every electronic gadget works. A couple dings from rocks driving winter mountain passes to get it home from a nearby town in the Cascades of southern Oregon, but that's it. And it seems either the driver door needs adjustment because the door panel gets caught at the bottom, or the door panel itself needs adjustment. Any advice out there? Experiences? Anyway, it's a blast to drive, real heavy and solid, slightly underpowered I believe, but smooth and quiet. Never had a v6 Volvo before this but it's real nice in the low-end!! Anyway, glad to be behind the wheel of another Volvo - I took about a 6 month break!
