Year:1998 Mileage:216450 Color: is in great condition
Location:

Gilberts, Illinois, United States

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). 

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. 

Performance:
kkk 24 turbo (S60r turbo) 
Garrett upgraded wastegate
R exhaust manifold
Custom RICA tune (20 psi) 
Manual swap
Quaife LSD
Euro "R" oem clutch 
3 inch custom 304 stainless steel downpipe
3 inch custom 304 stainless steel mandrel bent exhaust (MagnaFlow resonator and muffler) 
465cc Green injectors
Walbro 250 fuel pump
FMIC 
2.5 inch intercooler pipes
WOT box (2 step and launch control)
Port and polished intake manifold 
Phenolic intake spacer
960 throttle body
MSD ignition coil
IPD spark plug wires
Short shifter
"ram air" intake

Suspension:
KW v2 coilovers
XC90 spring mounts

Stainless steel brake lines

Exterior:

Oem 03+ "Jewel" headlights
03+ turn signals
R foglights
Oem "eggcrate" grille
P2 side markers
18" x 8" Audi R8 replica wheels
"m3" rear lip
Magnaflow exhaust tip

Interior:
3m di noc trim pieces
Oem Dolby prologic sound system
GROM Ipod/phone/AUX adapter
Custom Alcantara headliner
Blue led interior swap
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.

Volvo confirms return of the wagon with V60 headed to US

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Turns out that promised new production Volvo model for the United States is indeed the V60 wagon, as we had previously predicted. And it's not terribly surprising, as Volvo has a long and storied history of wagon sales in the US, from the old, loveable 240 to the more recent high-performance V70R. And yet the automaker hasn't had a proper non-XC, non-crossover-style wagon in the US since it pulled the V70 away at the end of the 2010 model year.
"The new Volvo V60 is for people who want the handling of a dynamic sports sedan but need the versatility of a wagon," says Volvo, highlighting the reason many of us on the Autoblog team harbor such fondness for wagons in general.
Volvo is currently showing off the R-Design package for its entire model line, including the V60, at the New York Auto Show. We don't know for sure if the V60 will launch with the R-Design package or if it will come at a later date, and we also see no mention of a Polestar edition, though we're hopeful.

Volvo opens order books for XC90 First Edition

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

The new Volvo XC90 breaks new ground in any number of ways. It's based on a new modular platform, packs new engines, introduces a new design language and incorporates a whole slew of new safety systems. Even in its sales approach, it takes Volvo into new territory.
In what Volvo calls an industry first, the first 1,927 examples of the new XC90 will be sold online. Those First Edition models, whose production numbers honor the year of the company's founding, will come fully equipped in T6 AWD guise with the twin-charged (but not hybrid) 316-horsepower engine, air suspension, Bowers & Wilkins audio system and 21-inch Inscription alloys, decked out in black with a tan Nappa leather interior, all for $65,900.
As you can see from the online store, ordering has officially begun. Get one while they're hot.

Why this could be the perfect time for Apple to make a car play

Fri, Aug 31 2018

While the automotive and technology worlds have been pouring billions into autonomous vehicles (AVs) and preparing to bring them to market soon as shared robo-taxis, Apple has mostly sat on the sidelines. Of course, Apple is the last company to ever make its intentions known, and the super-secret tech cult giant hasn't been totally out of the AV game based on the clues that have slipped out of its Cupertino, Calif., citadel over the past few years. Related: Apple self-driving cars are real — one was just in an accident News first broke in 2015 that it had assembled an automotive development team, in part by poaching high-profile talent from car companies, to work on a top-secret self-driving vehicle project code-named Titan. (Thank you very much, Nissan.) Apple also subsequently broke cover by making inquiries into using a Northern California AV testing facility and receiving a permit to test AVs on public roads in California. But then as the AV race started to heat up in the last few years, Apple reportedly began scaling back its car activities by downsizing team Titan. More recently, Apple's car project has shown signs of life with the hiring a high-level engineer away from Waymo and luring one Tesla's top engineers and a former employee back to Apple. It also inked a deal with Volkswagen to provide a technology platform and software to convert the automaker's new T6 Transporter vans into autonomous shuttles for employees at tech company's new campus. That is a far cry from giving rides to Wal-Mart shoppers, like Waymo is doing as part of its AV testing in Phoenix. But this could be the perfect time for Apple to enter the AV market now that ride-sharing is reaching critical mass and automakers and others are planning to deploy fleets of robo-taxis. Apple could easily establish a niche as a high-end ride-sharing service – and charge a premium – given its cult-like brand loyalty and design savvy. The growth of car subscription models could also play in Apple's favor since is already has many people hooked on paying for phones in monthly installments – and eager to upgrade when a new and better model becomes available. To achieve this, some believe Apple will fulfill co-founder and CEO Steve Job's dream of building a car. And as the world's first and only $1 trillion company it's sitting on a mountain of cash that certainly gives it the means. But other tech darlings like Tesla and Google have discovered how difficult it can be to build cars at scale.
