HELLO ALL! YOU ARE VIEWING PROBABLY THE NICEST 1978 VOLVO BERTONE COUPE IN THE COUNTRY. THIS CAR HAS HAD THREE OWNERS INCLUDING MYSELF. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW BY A TRUE VOLVO ENTHUSIAST WHO ONLY DROVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE NICEST OF DAYS. HE ENJOYED GOING TO VOLVO SHOWS, AND MEETS TO SHOW OFF HIS PRIZE POSSESSION. UNFORTUNATELY THIS GENTLEMAN HAD PASSED ON AND HIS VERY GOOD FRIEND / WEALTHY ATTORNEY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM HIS ESTATE AND KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR THE NEXT 12 YRS, ALSO ONLY USING IT WHEN WEATHER PERMITS. WHEN THIS VEHICLE CAME FOR SALE I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO SEE IT, AND WHEN I ARRIVED I FOUND THAT THIS GENTLEMAN HAD BEEN STORING IT IN ONE OF HIS MANY PRIVATE GARAGES UNDER ONE OF HIS MANY RENTAL PROPERTIES HE OWNS WHICH WAS CLIMATE CONTROLLED AND VEHICLE COVERED. SINCE MY OWNER SHIP I HAVE PUT ON JUST ABOUT 3K TROUBLE FREE MILES. I DID INSTALL A NEW SET OF FOUR TIRES (OTHERS WERE BEGINNING TO SHOW SOME SIGNS OF DRYING OUT) FRONT AIR DAM, FACTORY PERIOD FRONT FOG LAMPS, THE OBVIOUS OIL CHANGES, AND A NEW SET OF REAR SHOCKS. THE CAR STARTS AND RUNS AS IT SHOULD WITH NO QUIRKS OF ANY KIND. I WILL LET THE PICTURES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, THE EXTERIOR, AND THE INTERIOR ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! ALL OPTIONS WORK TO INCLUDE, POWER WINDOWS, AIR CONDITIONING, POWER ANTENNA, CLOCK, LIGHTS AND SO ON. THIS CAR IS A TRUE TIME PIECE AND A VERY RARE FIND. I HAVE BEEN USING THE VEHICLE FOR PLEASURE ON NICE DAYS THROUGHOUT THIS LAST SUMMER AND THE MILEAGE NOW READS 31,500 APPROX. JUST RECENTLY I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS STILL WORKING CORRECTLY HOWEVER TWICE THE ODOMETER HAD STOPPED SUDDENLY AND BY SIMPLY PUSHING IN THE RESET FOR THE TRIPOMETER HAS MANAGED TO CORRECT IT. MY GUESS IS SOMETHING EITHER NEEDS LUBRICATING IN THE ODOMETER/TRIPOMETER MECHANISM OR POSSIBLE EARLY SIGN OF NEEDING REPLACEMENT. I HAVE LOOKED ON E-BAY AND HAVE FOUND A NEW ODOMETER SELLING FOR $75.00. SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT 802-233-2389 TO DISCUSS. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE ABLE TO PAY FOR ITEM PRIOR TO BIDDING!
