Gilberts, Illinois, United States

I have a 1998 Volvo C70 saffron with a manual transmission for sale. The car has been my baby and dream car ever since I have owned it. I purchased the car in spring of 2007, with 129,xxx miles. It has never seen a touch car wash. I have only filled up on Shell gas. Also have been using Mobile 1 Synthetic ever since I have owned it. The exterior is in great condition. The interior is also in amazing condition (don't take my word let the pictures speak for themselves) 

I have done a crazy amount of preventative maintenance, stage 0, also a bunch of performance modifications. I originally purchased the car with a automatic transmission. Shortly after I converted it over to a manual and put a LSD in it. Other than the engine almost all of the parts have been replaced, with blue box Volvo oem parts (radiator, alternator, AC compressor, rebuilt turbo).

I decided to list all of the modifications separately. As can be seen I have invested a good amount of money in the vehicle.

Misc:

Silicon lower radiator hose 

I am sure I'm forgetting a lot items. I love the vehicle and it continues to turn heads. At this point I have replaced a majority of the parts on the vehicle. Rear main seal was replaced at 150,xxx miles. Timing belt was replaced at 190,xxx miles. Brand new OEM battery. This is a extremely solid daily driver. That can also be taken out on the track no problem. With around 300 HP to the wheels , it can knock the socks off most cars on the street (take a look at the Autobahn track video passing Evo and m3).

Again, I'm sure I have left a few things out here, so I encourage questions and will respond as promptly as possible. I am looking for $9,000 OBO . The odometer is currently sitting at 216k but as stated above just about everything has been replaced. The engine has no problems or leaks, pulls super hard. I feel the price is fair given the rarity of the car and amount of time and money put into it.

The car is located in Gilberts, IL (near Elgin, IL) and I would be happy to show it to any interested parties. If you are out-of-state and would like a local forum member to look at it that can be arranged as well.


Take a look at the link below to see hi-res photos and videos of the car at track.

Turn up your speakers for this Shelby-powered Sunbeam Tiger and friends

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Most of us are never going to be like Jay Leno and drive a new car every day. However, it's possibly affordable to collect a handful of vintage rides, especially if you look a touch off the beaten path. In recent video, Petrolicious highlights Hans Abrahams, who is doing just that. He has three 1960s, European classics that love to be driven.
The absolute star of the trio is a 1966 Sunbeam Tiger. In the cabin, it has the meaty growl of a muscle car, but outside it has a little of the raspiness of period European cars. Abrahams says its mostly original except for its Ford 289-cubic-inch (4.7-liter) V8 with Shelby parts, producing around 273 horsepower. He says it's a bit difficult to maintain and hard to keep cool, but when you hear it, you know the trouble is worth it.
Next up, is Abrahams' 1965 MGB that is a bit of a monster in its own right. It lacks the Tiger's oomph under the hood, but it's loud enough to blow out Petrolicious' microphone. It's still a very cool little roadster.

New Lotus SUV could be based on Volvo architecture

Tue, Mar 20 2018

Last year, Chinese carmaker Geely upped its stake in Lotus to a majority, recently investing more money into the British brand. Now, talking with Automotive News, CEO Jean-Marc Gales says Geely has approved three new models: two sports cars and the third an SUV. The sports cars will be announced later this year, and they will reach production in 2020. The last time a properly new Lotus debuted was in 2009 with the Evora, so a decade later new products are certainly due. But what about that SUV? Autocar says that since Geely also owns Volvo, that makes it possible for Lotus to base the SUV onto the Volvo SPA platform, which is also used in the XC60 and XC90. The choice of platform would mean the SUV would have to be a four-cylinder model, but that's nothing new to Lotus. It could even use Volvo's "Twin Engine" hybrid setup, which would mean a power output of over 400 horsepower as stock, and that with Lotus' eagerness for lightness could be a potent combination. Autocar quotes Gales as saying, "It will go round bends like nothing else in its segment." The target weight for the approximately Porsche Macan-sized SUV is under 2,000 kilos (4,400 pounds), and the Macan weighs 4244 pounds in 400-hp Turbo guise. The Lotus SUV is projected to hit the market in "about four years," and it's very likely to be built in China instead of Britain, as the Chinese market is very enticing — especially for this class of vehicle. The vehicles will still be designed at Lotus' Hethel HQ. Related Video:

What's the deal with comedians and their cars?

Mon, May 22 2017

'Round about the time in his life when it should happen for all of us, Jerry Seinfeld's ship came in with a force that almost split the dock. He'd been doing pretty well with his observational style ("There's a cereal now that's just cookies. Have you seen this? Cookies for breakfast. It's called Cookie Crisp. Cookies for breakfast! They oughta just call it 'To Hell With Everything!'"). But he showed no signs of setting the world on fire until he got cast in a show that was either about – depending on the level of comedy geek you ask – the average New Yorker, the very worst people in the world, or nothing. Suddenly Jerry Seinfeld was pretty much the center of the comedy universe. And while his comedy was at once both brilliantly innovative and rooted in the mundane, his next move was a predictable grab at something exotic – he went out and bought his dream car. A rather nice 911, actually. As almost everyone knows, it didn't stop there, and the man put together one of the most enviable collections of iconic Porsches we're likely to see. So what's the connection, if there is one, between cars and comedy? As far as Jerry Seinfeld (the man) is concerned, he's probably not the same guy as the Jerry on Seinfeld (the show) although it's hard to say for sure; his public persona is almost unnervingly well managed. But cars and comedy were the constants in his life then, and, well, just look at what the guy does now; Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is a cultural constant, and we're certainly seeing Seinfeld the man in that one, and cars are obviously still central to his life. And it's been that way with a lot of very, very good comedy guys. Cars seem to round out their lives, to become the yin to their comedy yang. Ernie Kovacs might not have invented visual gags or surreal humor, but he got them both to kill on television in the 1950s, so he's a comedy hero. He died behind the wheel of his beloved Corvair wagon, so he's absolutely some kind of car-guy hero as well. Bill Cosby, the hottest name in comedy for a good long while, had Ferraris, one of two fire-breathing supercharged big-block Cobras (pictured below), and a BMW 2002tii – none of which either contributed to or in any way make up for the profoundly sociopathic creature he turned out to be, but it's still a data point. The Smothers Brothers, who defied the networks and the norms by getting blatantly political before that sort of thing was cool, went sports car racing.
