Ghost Shadow Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 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.

7 VII 7 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 that looks good... to check the 427.. open the hood and look at the plate on the chassis with the color code I am thinking it is a 427 because it looks gray but in the light blue like mine does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Betty Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I didn't think 427 was rare, but Dave's is because its the only 427 R to be imported to the us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt b Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
