GarageScout Take

This 1981 Volvo Bertone has an engine swap predating the current ownership, paired with an automatic transmission. The long storage period and retrofitted engine are substantial factors for consideration.

Strengths

  • Includes original 1981 invoice, owner's manuals, and maintenance records
  • Heated front seats and alloy wheels add to equipment level
  • One owner for over 30 years
  • Engine swap dates back nearly three decades

Watch For

  • Retrofitted B21F engine instead of original powerplant
  • Three-speed automatic transmission may not satisfy manual enthusiasts
  • Vehicle was stored for 13 years prior to 2013 ownership, potential impact on condition
