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). 

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

kkk 24 turbo (S60r turbo) 
Garrett upgraded wastegate
R exhaust manifold
Custom RICA tune (20 psi) 
Manual swap

WOT box (2 step and launch control)
Port and polished intake manifold

18" x 8" Audi R8 replica wheels

White face gauges 

Misc:
Viper long range remote start and security system
AEM truboost boost gauge + controller
Innovate wideband
Silicon vacuum lines
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.

Aurora, Volvo partner on self-driving heavy trucks

Sun, Apr 4 2021

Global heavy truck manufacturers are lining up technology partners to help build out self-driving systems for long-haul freight that could see widespread commercial service well before self-driving robotaxis. The latest alliance was announced Tuesday between Sweden's Volvo Group and California-based Aurora Innovation, building on a working relationship that dates back several years, the partners said. Analysts expect more such partnerships, as relatively young technology firms such as Aurora connect their autonomous vehicle systems knowledge with the deep manufacturing experience of legacy companies such as Volvo Trucks. “You can't go at it alone in autonomy," said Grayson Brulte, president consultancy Brulte & Company. "The trucking industry is a completely different personality" than the passenger vehicle business, with different requirements. Most of the larger truck manufacturers have turned to self-driving tech partners, driven in part by a chronic shortage of drivers and a boom in e-commerce, fueled by the global pandemic. In January, Aurora announced a strategic partnership with U.S. truckmaker PACCAR, whose brands include Peterbilt and Kenworth. Aurora's founders include self-driving veterans from Tesla and Alphabet's Waymo. Aurora last year said its first commercial product would be in trucking "where the market is largest (and) the unit economics are best." In 2020, Waymo Chief Executive John Krafcik told Reuters that "goods delivery is a bigger market than moving people" as Waymo expanded its focus to include heavy trucks. Germany's Daimler has formed a self-driving truck alliance with Waymo, while China's largest heavy truck maker, FAW Jiefang, has partnered with Plus AI. Volkswagen's Traton truck group is an investor in TuSimple, as is U.S. truckmaker Navistar. In a January earnings call, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said the long-delayed Semi electric truck is highly likely to be the first of the company's vehicles to achieve full self-driving capability.

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon

Tue, Jan 3 2017

The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.

Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC. Distinguished as 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ is Volvo's new XC90 T8. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the Year™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today. Rising to the top as award winners means these three exceptional vehicles set a benchmark in the auto industry's effort to create vehicles that are desirable and efficient, while also achieving environmental milestones so important for our driving future." The Green Car Awards are a key feature of The Washington Auto Show, the "public policy show" on the auto show circuit and one that puts a priority on safety and sustainability. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Ron Cogan, whose eagerly anticipated suite of awards help shape the national conversation on the innovations that will drive our industry and country forward," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of The Washington Auto Show.
