Found this while leaving work today. Never seen one before. Will probably never see one again. Enjoy.
Also, although I don't have any pictures of it, the interior was beautiful.

The 262 Bertone's aren't THAT rare, but they definitely aren't something you see every day. I just love how they managed to take the classic Volvo styling and turn it into something that makes me think an old school gangster should be driving it.

Very rare. The reviews back when it came out were critical because the lowered roof robbed headroom without making the unaltered car look any better.

In Finland the Bertone Coupe cost about twice the price of a normal 240 model. Not very many were sold.

Ah, I see them fairly often in Florida... maybe the fact that most of the Bertone Coupes are well taken care of and seem to be lasting better than the many 240s that have found there way to the junkyards has managed to make them less rare in these parts when looking at available 80's Volvos?

I think I have seen one or two in car gatherings. Even the 780 is more common here.
It looks pretty interesting but I just wish that it would have gotten some decent engine. The PRV V6 is pretty horrible engine.
