Wow--- hard to argue at that price.
I never really liked the 262C but I'd buy that in a heartbeat if I was even reasonably close. That should sell very quickly.

I'm kind of with you there. Hard to believe an Italian car in KY doesn't have rust though.

I was under the impression that Volvos were Swedish.
Is "Bertone" more than just styled Italian and actually built there?

I thought one of the tags indicated it was made in Italy. I paid my usual amount of attention to it though.
EDI from the wiki wiki
"The Volvo 262C is the first luxury coupe made by Volvo. Based on the Volvo 200 Series, the 262C was built by Bertone in Turin for the 1977-1981 model years."
I had a friend in high school that seriously lusted after one of those, but they were far too new for us to afford. I wonder if he ever scratched that itch?
In reply to spitfirebill:
The 262 is a chop-top 240 coupe, with some different interior parts, and a PRV V6. Suspension, rear end, non-roof body panels are the same.

You are. Randomly, I once had a very vivid dream where my parents, who were diehard Pontiac drivers at the time, bought one of those Bertones. Like, to the point where I called my father and asked why he had bought a Volvo.
