5-spd C70s That Rare?

I've been looking since my crash and they just don't come up (especially not in any color I'd want). There was a clean, clean one in TX that I was looking at but I think it's sold.

Saw this Gold today - http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp;?...leadExists=true

Sweet color, but I assume I'll never find one in a 5-spd?

they are hard to come by, but they do appear. i've spotted about 5 in the last year or so.

Yeah, I've come across 4-5 but only 1 or 2 I'd consider for color or condition reasons.

Just be persistant.

It took me 2-years to find my car. I was VERY picky though. I wanted a 98 S70T5M in White with CHARCOAL interior under 130k miles for under $4k.

I wasn't seriously looking the whole time. I guess I have to give my dad credit though...he was the one that sent me the link.....

Good luck!

i can relate to you there, except i needed black on black T5M. however i offset the mileage for the price, 170k for 1.5k. i figured it'd be easier to swap in a built motor once the stock motor gave up then doing a manual swap and then doing a built motor. sometimes you just have to compromise.

would be nice to get a 03/04 c70 manual vert. my vert was a easy find, lucky i guess. perfect time, great price 07/2007 $9850 68k. stole it i think. Look hard, make sure you are willing to travel for the right car. keep in mind everything is only a plane ride away and there are ALOT of vs'ers willing to help look at cars in different areas of the country. hell, a southwest plane ticket one way is like $100 to philadelphia from ft lauderdale. i'll offer up my help if you needed a car in the philly area. also post up what your search criteria is.

There's a dark blue '02 C70 5-spd coupe for sale in my area if you're interested. Has an eggcrate grille and comets too. There's also a dark blue '99 C70 5-spd vert for sale.

Not sure if you want to come all the way to Canada to get one though. lol

EDIT: oops, my mistake, the '99 coupe is black, not dark blue.
