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
IPD track swaybars
Custom endlinks
Volvo oem strut brace
20mm 5x112 wheel adapters (stud conversation) 

Brakes:
Porsche BBK upgrade (fronts) 
Pagid blue brake pads (front) 
S60r BBK upgrade (rear)

Volvo oem S60r rotors 
Stainless steel brake lines

Exterior:
Oem R front bumper
VST front lip
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.

2014 Volvo XC60 scooped before launch

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

A Chinese automotive site has snagged the first spy shots of the updated Volvo XC60, completely uncovered. While the overall profile of the vehicle remains intact, the headlights are heavily revised. Gone are the two-piece units, which featured the separate light strip between the main cluster and the grille. In place now are larger lenses, somewhat reminiscent of those found on the S60 sedan. Also updated is the grille, which gets a little wider to meet the new headlights. The grille receives more chrome, while the lower front fascia has been revised with wider openings. A pair of LED fog lights are pushed way out to the corners.
Out back, the license plate holder gets a bold chrome strip above it, and the recessed exhaust is replaced with chromed, dual exhaust outlets that have been integrated into the bottom of the rear bumper.
Inside, the instrument panel has been revised, with a large, centrally mounted speedo, featuring a digital display in the center. According to reports, this is a similar setup to that of the new V40. As such, it appears that the changes are thoughtful efforts to move the XC60 forward by incorporating the most current Volvo design elements.

Volvo teases mysterious new small crossover

Thu, 16 May 2013

The image you see above is just about all we know of the new Volvo crossover that will be revealed at 8:30 pm Central European Time on May 17 (2:30 pm Eastern Standard Time). Volvo released three very short video teasers, all with the tagline "Leave The World Behind," all of which feature a member of the now-defunct band Swedish House Mafia - Axwell sits in a boat in the first, Sebastian Ingrosso walks toward cabin in the second and Steve Angello stares at the sea in a third.
A microsite, www.leavetheworldbehind.com, accompanies the teasers and it's been said that a short film by Lune will feature the band - Swedish Mafia had a hit in 2009 with the song Leave the World Behind. As for the vehicle, theories are that it could be something between the V40 Cross Country and XC60, the new XC90 or something else entirely. We don't have long to wait, and you can watch both teasers below.

Volvo fires up S60 and V60 Polestar production

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

We were pretty smitten with the Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar models during our First Drive in Sweden a few months ago. We especially loved the way that its Öhlins adjustable dampers offered a perfect balance between suppleness and sporty handling. Now, the rest of the world will finally be getting the chance to take the Polestar models for a spin because Volvo is shipping out the first units of the limited-edition vehicles.
Their completion marks the first time ever that Polestar-tuned models have come off the line at Volvo's Torslanda factory. However, production of the 350-horsepower hatchback and sedan is very limited. Volvo is building a total of just 750 of them for the world market, and the US is only getting 80 wagons and 40 sedans.
In addition to the cutting-edge dampers and more powerful engine, both Polestar models benefit from a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system routed through a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters and launch control. Six-piston Brembo calipers bring things to a halt, and the limited models get unique front and rear fascias and 20-inch wheels. These are two very hot Swedes, and if rumors are right, then there are even more tuned Volvos from Polestar on the way. Scroll down to read the full announcement.
