This fabulous Volvo convertible was originally delivered in Sweden with the best of both Europe and US equipment and features. It is the "Tourist and Diplomat" model. Compared with the regular US spec C70 it has more leather, a significantly more powerful engine, better handling suspension, more power seat adjustments on both front seats, front and rear fog lamps, windshield washers and wipers on the headlights, Wood trim on the steering wheel, etc. This is the top of the top version.
Always garaged. Never smoked in. It spent it's first summer in Europe and the remainder of its life in California. This car has been respectfully driven and dealer maintained with genuine Volvo parts since new. All common C70 issues have been permanently dealt with. The clutch, throttle body, AC compressor and motor mounts have all been replaced with improved units. Convertible top was replaced with a genuine Volvo top in 2009. Windshield was replaced in 2008. Tires are nearly new Yokahama Y rated S-Drives for great handling and a quiet ride. Wheels are straight and clean. One wheel was replaced after hitting a piece of debris in in the road. It's a perfect match. Original paint is in very good condition, with a few small blemishes here and there, for example scratches on the underside air dam.. Nothing serious. No rust, body damage or body work. Engine runs smoothly, pulls strong and uses no oil. Transmission shifts smoothly. The brakes are nearly new. AC blows cold. Everything works. Leather seats have some minor age checking but are still solid and very comfortable. No holes or tears. The factory upgraded surround sound system sounds awesome, and automatically adjusts settings when the top is down. Volvo didn't offer Bluetooth in 2000, but I'll include the after-market Bluetooth adapter I have been using for the last several years. It allows hands-free calling and you can play Pandora from your smart-phone through that fabulous stereo.
This is a super example of a great performance luxury convertible. Fun to drive, comfortable and great looking. There's even room for full size adults in the back seats. Look at the pictures.
I hate to see her go but we have another addition coming to the household and a 4 passenger car just won't cut it anymore.

Weekly Recap: Toyota, Mazda team up to 'make cars better'
Sat, May 16 2015Toyota and Mazda are teaming for a noble purpose: to "make cars better." That's how the two Japanese automakers termed their partnership, which was announced this week. So what does this actually mean? The companies said they will set up a joint committee to look for areas of cooperation and named safety and the environment as issues they plan to tackle. From a product perspective, it's believed that Toyota is interested in Mazda's Skyactive engine portfolio. In turn, Mazda has its eye on Toyota's fuel-cell and plug-in hybrid technology. While more specifics were not confirmed, the companies said the "agreement will go beyond the traditional framework of cooperation," and it has the potential to be a long-range partnership. "The main purpose of this initiative is to enhance the appeal of our cars," Toyota president Akio Toyoda said at the announcement. Previously, Mazda has licensed Toyota's hybrid tech and assembled compact cars for Toyota in Mexico. Akio Toyoda said these projects "triggered" the automakers to explore further collaboration. Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager for AutoPacific, said the tie-up echoes Daimler's wide-ranging work with the Renault-Nissan alliance. "This could be a well-groomed match due to each having very unique skill sets," he said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Volvo selects South Carolina for US factory Volvo confirmed this week that it will build its first US factory in South Carolina, with construction set to begin this fall. The company first revealed plans in March, though it didn't announce a site. The plant will have initial annual production of 100,000 units, though the vehicle or vehicles to be assembled were not specified. The factory, located near Charleston, will open in 2018 and ultimately employ 4,000 people. The facility will help Volvo continue its growth strategy, which includes strengthening its presence in the US market, where it wants to sell more than 100,000 cars per year. "Building a plant in the US is a reflection of Volvo Cars' commitment to the US and the key role the US plays in our growth objectives," Lex Kerssemakers, senior vice president, Americas, said in a statement. Ford GT spied on the road The 2017 Ford GT was spotted testing around the Blue Oval's headquarters in Dearborn, MI, this week. The raw body panels were exposed, and they lacked paint or camouflage. It's the first time the GT has been captured on the street after a spring of auto show reveals.
Volvo shows inflatable child seat concept [w/video]
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Volvo is bringing its emphasis on safety and design to the littlest members of the family with its concept for an inflatable, rearward facing child safety seat. The design is meant to help traveling families by offering a lighter and less bulky alternative to traditional car seats.
The design is quite ingenious. The seat is covered in drop-stitched fabric, which fills with air to create the form of the seat. An electric motor in it allows inflation and deflation in less than 40 seconds, according to Volvo. It weighs less than 5 kilograms (11 pounds) and folds small enough when collapsed to fit into a bag. It even has a Bluetooth connection, so parents can begin expanding it remotely.
The inflatable seat in the brainchild of Lawrence Abele, Volvo's design manager at its Monitoring and Concept Center in Los Angeles, CA. "For many, travelling with young children is a challenge; any assistance to simplify the parents' life with young children is a great thing," he said in a statement released by Volvo. The chair remains a concept for now, and the automaker isn't saying whether it's going to put it into production, but it's a clever solution to a common problem. Scroll down for a video showing it in action and to read the release.
