Default 1979(?) Bertone Couoe

Found a deal on Bertone coupe that is advertised as a "1979". Looking at the car today, it has a 4cyl, instead of a 2.7 V6.
Doing research, this car would have to be a 1980. Seems the 6 was an option?
All black, black leather in the car.
The VIN is only 15 digits instead of 17.
I'm confused with this car. How rare is a 4 Cyl in these cars?

I've only ever heard of the Bertone as the 262C, with the PRV V6, has a lowered roof with a vinyl skin, but is otherwise pretty much the same car as a standard 260 sedan would be, with about every option Volvo had available. They were available with either a 3 speed automatic, or a 4 speed + overdrive stick shift.

p.s. the later Volvo 780 Bertone Coupe is a MUCH nicer car these were based on the 760, and were available with either a V6 or a turbo 4.

catch-22, the unique parts for these, like tail lights, head lights, are now unobtanium, so maintaining one is hard.
