This 1989 Volvo 780 coupe is powered by a 5.0L Ford V8 and T-5 manual transmission installed using a Converse Engineering conversion kit. The swap was performed by a friend of the seller several years ago, and the car has been passed between the friend, the seller, and his brother in the ensuing time. The engine is fitted with Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, a Cobra intake, and more, while other modifications include IPD sway bars, Bilstein dampers, a custom exhaust, and 16″ Voxx wheels. A 2017 service included a new ball joint and brake hoses as well as an oil and filter change. This 780 is offered at no reserve with a Carfax report and a clear Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name. Originally Burgundy Pearl, the car was repainted in its present warm metallic grey by the seller’s brother due to clear coat failure. The door jambs and underside of the trunk lid are color-matched to the exterior, though the original color is still visible underhood. A set of 16×7″ Voxx wheels are currently fitted, with the stock 15″ cross-spoke wheels available as an alternate choice at the buyer’s preference. The seller notes that the Voxx wheels fit without the need for spacers or adapters. The suspension has been modified with IPD sway bars and Bilstein dampers. The interior is finished in tan with light burl wood accents on the dash and doors. The car retains stock power seats, while modifications include a Pioneer stereo and a tall manual shifter with a suede boot. The seller notes that the air conditioning system is complete, but does not blow cold. Approximately 127k miles are shown on the 6-digit odometer, with true mileage unknown. The original Volvo drivetrain has been replaced by a 5.0L Ford V8 backed by a T5 5-speed manual transmission. The swap was performed by a friend of the seller, reportedly using the first Converse Engineering kit available to customers. Modifications include Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, roller rockers, a custom airbox, ceramic-coated Ford Motorsport headers, and a 1993 Cobra intake and ECU. An oil change was carried out in fall 2017 along with replacement of the right front ball joint and brake hoses. The Carfax shows several mileage discrepancies over the life of the car, though no accidents or other damage are noted. A Pennsylvania state inspection was reportedly performed in October 2017.
