Boston Red Sox Special World Seris Edition Volvo C30 Model Year 2008 on 2040-cars

Volvo unveiled the Red Sox Special Edition C30, a model commissioned by Volvo and Major League Baseball to symbolize the partnership between Volvo and the Boston Red Sox.

Only 107 of the Special Edition C30s were produced with each car built to commemorate a Red Sox victory during the 2007 season and bearing a numbered dash plaque authenticated by Major League Baseball. The numbered dash plaque indicates which of the 107 victories each individual car represents. I own car number 106 which represents the October 27, 2007 win over the Colorado Rockies in game three of the World Series. Daisuke Matsuzaka, "Dice-K", started and led the Red Sox to a 10–5 win against the Rockies, his first World Series appearance, giving up 2 runs on 3 hits and 3 walks, with 5 strikeouts. In the game, he also recorded his first major league hit: a two-out 2-run single off Josh Fogg, making Matsuzaka the third pitcher in Red Sox history to record two RBIs in a World Series game; the others were Babe Ruth (in Game 4 of the 1918 World Series) and Cy Young. Matsuzaka is also the first Japanese pitcher in World Series history to start and win a game. The next day, the Red Sox won the Series in Game 4.

Finished in vibrant Passion Red, Red Sox Special Edition C30s proudly wear the team’s logo on the front fenders while a larger transparent logo is affixed inside the rear glass hatch. The team logo is also featured on the floor mats. In addition, the C30s are authenticated by Major League Baseball through the Major League Baseball Authentication Program. Included is a Certificate of Authenticity with the game date and the final score personally signed by the CEO of Volvo Cars of North America and Larry Lucchino of the Boston Red Sox. My hologram number is LH000106 which you can look up at http://www.mlb.com/mlb/authentication/

Similar to the Volvo C30 R-Design, each Red Sox Special Edition C30 is fitted with a matte-silver finish for the outside mirror housings and front grille surround. Front fog lights, power-assisted and heated front seats, a blue watch-dial instrument cluster, leather-wrapped steering wheel with aluminum inlays, sport pedals, sport shifter, vehicle security alarm, soft load cover, cruise control and the Dynaudio Sound System with Sirius Satellite Radio are also included. The Boston Red Sox Special Edition C30 comes with a five-speed automatic and 227-hp, turbocharged five-cylinder engine.

My car has been stored in a heated vehicle storage facility since I purchased it. It is up off of the floor on casters and it is covered. It has never been registered. It still looks like the day I purchased it with the plastic still on the seats, and the dealer vehicle information sticker still on the window. I have never driven it. I had it flat-bedded from the dealership to where it is currently stored. It was only driven on and off of the flat-bed and by Volvo and the dealership for their minimum testing requirements plus at the dock in New Jersey when it was driven off of the boat from Sweden. It is started once a year and brought up to temperature. The title says it has ten miles on it but it actually has seven miles on the odometer.
