Anyone have any interest in a 1998 Volvo V70R parts/project car? The car had various problems and I eventually gave up. It has not run in 3 or 4 years. It developed a leak at the top of the gas tank, which would spray fuel everywhere. The engine's rear main seal leaked. Issues with throttle cable sticking. I gave up and was going to eventually do a complete rebuild, but life has other plans. I also had to evict a red squirrel that was living under the hood. Something small died in it at some point and it smells. Car is located in Indianapolis, IN with clean title. I believe mileage is around 120,000 miles, but it may be closer to 130,000 miles. Front axles were rebuilt by Raxles about 20,000 miles ago. No known transmission issues. Body panels/glass are in good shape overall. Rear bumper is not. Probably going to have a junkyard take it, but thought someone might want to save an R. Tires have been inflated since pictures were taken.

Edit: I replaced the rear Nivomats less than 30,000 miles ago. That was a small fortune.

Someone should save this car. At this price, it's worth it as a parts car if fixing it doesn't work out. Once again, I wish I was in the position to buy

Agreed. It is decently complete.
New engine out service, stage zero, and manual swap (& I guess fumigate...lol). Good to go for a LONG time.
