Volvo 262C

[///Mtechnik88]

I ran past this car for sale on my way back from getting my sport seat installed and didn't know what kind of Volvo it was. I snapped it with my camera phone. I found out it was the 262C by Bertone and about 6600 were made in 5 years. I had never seen a Volvo Coupe this old, so I was wondering if this a rare care of sorts, or just another old Volvo?

They're not real common, but there tend to be quite a few of them still on the roads, they have a bit of a following. I've seen a couple of them up around ohio, they're very attractive cars.

i saw a bright orange one of those parked in a wal-mart parking lot about 2 months ago.

i was baffled by it. i couldnt belive it was a volvo. at first i thought it was a chop job because the roof looks so low. apparently its stock. i though it was a pretty sweet car.

Aw dayam..
That is a very exotic car even by Swedish standards since most were exported to the US. Not many left on Swedish roads I can tell you.. the climate here makes sure that cars only survive if people drive them only in the summer time. I hear it's the successor to the P1800, an even sweeter car which is a lot more common here in Sweden.

Didn't Bertone also design a 7-series coupe for Volvo (762 - maybe)? But anyhow, those are pretty cool looking cars; they almost look like a custom 'chop-top'.

P1800s rule.

I think it was the 780 series that replaced the 262C. Yeah, went I drove past it I thought it was a chopped Volvo sedan too, but noticed only 2 doors. I may see what the guy is asking. Hehe, may be more trouble than it's worth!

Chassis / suspension parts are standard 240 which are plentiful and have alot of aftermarket support.

The body / interior are specific to this model and are $$$ due to their rarity.

Engine swaps are easy... v8's fit in as well as the Volvo turbo'd inline 4's.
