All 3 belong to employees here. From left to right is Brandon's, mine, & Ken's. Now Brandon just needs an R bumper to match mine and Ken's
Out of the 361 '98 S70 T5Ms imported to the US, I wonder how many are actually still on the road...

As of today, there are now 3 '98 S70 T5Ms in our parking lot. It's like an epidemic!

Probably quite a few. I think VS members have most of them at this point.
Let's start a running tally. I bring it up to 4.

I have 2 and TyConn's buddy (I don't think he's on here, just bought one), and of course my old T5M I sold to Faulty (does that one even count anymore?).
So, we're up to 8.

Good call. Should we count cars that have been converted?

Nah, that invalidates the fact that 381 were sold. Factory M's only
That makes 12, 3.1%!

I thought it was 361? If so it's 3.3%

Er, slip of the mind, meant 6, not 8 
1998 : 361 cars
1999 : 197 cars
2000 : 75 cars
So yes, 3.3% are accounted for!

I've heard as few as 50 factory 1998 V70 T5M in the States, but haven't verified with Volvo.

How about C70 T5Ms?
I can account for one US market 98 V70 T5M. It was rear ended and totaled when I had it up in Canada
Not gonna try and count the Coral S70 that I sold to Cassie because it was a Canadian market car.
