[SOLD] [GUMTREE] 1993 Volvo 940 GL 'Bertone'

UltimateDave

I have no idea whether this is a custom job or a really rare model.
Maybe someone just REALLY liked the 262C but only had a 940?
It even has a full vinyl roof and the badge.

Wow, that's crazy!

UltimateDave

The aluminum trim on the c pillar/quarter and the wheel arches perplexes me. It looks pretty well done. And that 940 turbo spoiler too.
Looks like someone really loved that car.

Wheel arch chrome is just late 760GLE/960, isn't it?

egads (she/her)

Yup, wheel arches looks like the option stuff. Upper chrome looks really professional.

UltimateDave

Intriguing, wonder what the story is then.

I could see you in this.

Though it's badged as a GL and no boost gauge, and no other indication it's turbo.

Sort of a Bertone designer look.
Someone has gone to a lot of trouble just to get the vinyl roof in a unique style.
Deleting the rear quarter window would have been interesting with the metal work. Wonder what it looks like inside.
Dont recall it in any Volvo club mags.
Any special import would be LH drive?

UltimateDave

@Anthony
Wow I didn't even notice that there was a window there.
Shows how well it's done.

Someone should save it.

Anthony

I asked Lance a longtime Volvo expert in VIC and he hadn't seen it before.
So in a sense its a unique find thats avoided all of our radars then.
But in Albury this is a border NSW/Vic car.
Any Albury members out there?

Vinyl roof looks a bit sad in places, so we could well guess the original lover of this sold it, and its gone way down hill since.

A classic example of "Just becasue you can, does not mean you should"

I'm pretty sure it was built to be used along side this, a 940 hearse with a Bertone body. the hearse was/is in Albury, There was a rumour the 940 hearse was crashed and taken off the road, not sure if that's true or not, I last saw it on the road in 2014.

AshDVS

That makes a lot more sense, @DCW242 !

UltimateDave

Now that's something I wouldn't mind my coffin being in.

Major Ledfoot

The hearse can be found in this file, which I accidentally stumbled across the other day - the Volvo factory parts manual for "S-Catalogue" cars.

@DCW242
Possibly if someone knows the rego plate you could do a rego check and see if it's still registered.

SE's didn't have boost guages
