This is not a 265 (V6 engine) but a 245 (Stright 4). The 260 series (264 (four door) and 265 (five door - estate) had a chromed grill and two rectangular head lights while the 240 series had two round ones.

As can be seen in the link the 260 series has a chromed grill, a chrome strip around the wheel arches and metallic paint. Neither of those things can be seen on the car shown above which clearly points towards a US spec Volvo 245. The 260 series was very rare indeed.

Edit: The rectangular head lights were standard on the 260 series from 1979 while the 240 series got them from 1980 (or was it 1981?).
