New Addition To The Fleet


Ghost Shadow

Recommended Posts

Another craigslist local find! Really clean and relatively good shape 1998 S70 base, climate, charcoal leather. For a car with 192k, it has the usual problems. delaminated panels, chipped up front bumper, abs module, SAS pump and exhaust manifold. got the manifold coming, fixed the abs, door panels and bumper i could live with. just have to look into the pump problem. she drive squeak and rattle free, one would expect more problems from a 192k vehicle especially at the price i bought it for! similar cars i seen on ebay sell for around $2000-2800.

her she is in all her glory. is this the 427 color? its not black, not grey.

that looks good... to check the 427.. open the hood and look at the plate on the chassis with the color code :arob:

I am thinking it is a 427 because it looks gray but in the light blue like mine does

where all these 427's executive cars?

did a carfax, and it came up as a executive "volvo company car"

It is not uncommon to see 427 850s or S70s... more rare as you go up the chain... GLT, Turbo, T5, R

ive seen like three 427 850's in junkyards in recent months..one was a turbo as well. interesting but not as rare as autumn gold. apparently that is the "rarest color evar" :rolleyes:

anyway steve, nice find. too bad its not a turbo ;)

Good stuff. And for the SAS: just replace it or do the Hussein (lookforjoe) delete. They're useless emissions control add-ons.

Good find, the car looks good but that paint needs a buffing, it's starting to look dull.

well for the time being, my XC70 needs some work. it will be down for a few weeks and this car came up. when i get everything fixed it is back on the sale block. my friend is interested in it. going to sell it to him for what i got into the car.

this car is definatly not my cup of tea. it is basic transportation, its a car that MAKES me appreciate my vert!! :)
