... is what I'm trying to find out.
- I've read old Brickboard posts about it (after doing a search for "740 SE").
- I've heard from a guy who claimed to know what it was (and claimed to know someone who had one): a special 740 model made only in 1991 in a limited run of 1,500 cars.
- I've even seen a red one, in Los Angeles, with the 740 SE badge on the trunk lid, hood scoop, side skirts, etc.
Still, I have no idea what the truth is about these cars. If anyone out there actually knows the story, please tell me.
I'm asking because there is a lot near me selling a 91 740 Turbo (badged as Turbo, not SE on the trunk lid) with an apparently clean title. However, when I ran a Carfax report, it said the model was "740/SE". I'm wondering what this means; is Carfax wrong again, or does some little lot have no idea what they have. No I haven't bothered to go look at the car, because it's more than a few miles away, but the salesman (who had no idea about Volvos) described it to me (that's how I learned that it says 740 Turbo on the trunk lid, for example).
And no, the SEs sold in Europe/UK were not the same-- badges there often had very different meanings. US responses only, please!
I've searched the internet high and low, in all the usual Volvo-nerd crevices, for answers to just what the 740 SE really was, how many were made, why this title might show up as an SE, etc., but come up empty-handed. Brickboard, don't fail me now!
Thanks,
- Dan
