Ive always wanted a blue car. It's my favorite color. Always been obsessed with water too. Which, naturally lead me to boats (as well as becoming a civil-hydraulics engineer as my profession) and as a result, and by family, Volvo wagons.
Over the years I had seen a few Ocean Race edition XC70s and XC90s in person. Really fell in love with Ocean Blue Pearl (458) the more times I saw it.
In September of 2019 my friend Lucas bought a 2002 Ocean Race V70 XC sight unseen in New England from his desk in Florida. Flew up and brought it by a week later to get a quick once over. The color had me the second it turned into the driveway. I had to have one. You all probably saw pictures of it when the 2003 T5M went to the keys last winter.
When the 1999 Pewter T5 wagon was found to be rusting out in the fall of 2020, the search for a replacement began....
And here it is! Everyone, please welcome my "Argo". A rescue and revival adventure begins!
