The first series of 262C Bertones were available only in Mystic Silver metallic paint with a black vinyl roof and black interior; these used Volvo's 262-based trunklid and flat tail lamp design, which would be changed for a deeper trunklid and larger wrap-around tail lamps on the $15,995 1979 models. They featured a new lever-type thermostatic heater control system, and manual transmission-equipped versions received the sporty 242GT's tighter shift linkage. Metallic gold and black single-tone paints, as well as beige leather, were added to the exclusive black roof over silver color palate. The $17,345 1980 Bertone Coupé, as it was then known, gained the 242GT's front air dam and lost 35 mph from its speedometer, as per new American regulations. Rarely seen new colors included single-tone light metallic blue and a gold roof-over-bronze metallic paint scheme. For their last year of production, the vinyl roof was no longer fitted to the now-$19,550 Coupés, and a redesigned and color-coordinated instrument panel extended to incorporate the center console.
