Nice find^^ Seems a little pricey for something that doesn't have an engine.........and I never knew North Carolina was in Russia :screwy:


However, I don't drunk post in here, so I guess I'll be taking the month off from this thread.

Little pricey for the miles, no? Of course, fewer and fewer nice examples left alive all the time...
Clean Autocheck ;) This VA owner looks like a recent development. Mostly a NY/PA car.

Bay area seems to be ripe with some interesting cars right now. These are the ones that caught my eye, but there's a few other R and turbo P80 as well.

This one sure looks like an R but it's listed as a T5. Cool blue color. Can't believe it hasn't sold yet, and now the price has dropped to $2,500. At one time this was a very impressive car. Not sure what state it's in now though.

This ones claims to be an R... but it's an S70? It is for sure is a '99 T5M and, and it does have some Titans. Has a few obvious add-on's, and they also claim lsd?
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/1999-volvo-s70/6409922334.html

And another s70 T5. It's a running project, but it has new front seats and comes with parts for a m56 swap. $1500.

Stock C70, that looks pretty good for $1600.

Unique blue color s70 t5 $1900.

'99 v70r silver that needs some help, but could be a decent starting point.

1996 855R, black/black, ARD, no miles listed, $1500:

Wow, that black V70 T5M listed above with the cloth interior (weird, must have been special ordered that way) is just a few miles north of me - I don't know why, but most of these I see seem to be black which is a dealbreaker for me.

Don't see a date but I'm pretty sure that ad is pretty old. A guy in DC owns it now and it's housed in San Fran.

Front end whacked something at some point, fog lights are bent in. Looks nice though

Dang! What a sweetie! There seems to be something in the air lately, shockingly good examples of lower-mile T5's and SE's are showing up coast-to-coast.
Time to finally start that Volvo Rescue Farm.
Not an original idea I know, but the more of us, the better. "They need you, won't you help? Call now!"

I noticed the "Keystone" sticker, and it made me think, I believe JRL may have some knowledge of this one?

Edit:
Bonus Points - it has a clean Autocheck, and was an all-Florida car from birth until nearly 2016. :thumbup:
