Right? It's a steal at $750. Runs and drives.

I'm not crazy about gen 1 Bertones, but these gen 2 are absolutely gorgeous. And incredibly rare. I've seen 10 or 20 Ferraris since the last Bertone.
262C is one of the most hideous cars ever made... which is funny, because I LOVE quad square 240s. The 780 on the other hand is indeed gorgeous.

Way low miles, looks pretty clean in the pics, but it's in the 'no-run' lane, so a roll of the dice.
On the block tomorrow.
S60s don't seem to get much action in these charity auctions in DC for some reason.

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Hmm... that could be a great deal. The “on approval” note may suggest that this car will have to be relisted a couple times. Volvos don’t get a lot of attention on Copart, and their reserve is probably outrageous for a questionable 850R.
No clue what Ohio auction rules are as far as needing a dealer license, but that could be a good deal for a private buyer.

Does this really exist? Shame it is a re-built status. Was this ever an option for the XC90 first gen V8? Polestar R-Design?

If it was an option, any idea what the engine specs was or anything else about it?

I’ve never heard of a Polestar tune for a V8. The R design trim level (replaced the “V8 Sport” in 2008 or 9) is totally legit, but I’m not sure about the Polestar part.
