I know Ohlins were offered, and given that OP said the guy he bought his coupe from was the original owner and mentioned that it's still sitting on the factory sport suspension, I'm curious as to what components are there. Wait so Josh has owned 2 M56 saffron C70s? Damn. I always wondered where your car originated. Yep, I've owned like 20 Volvo's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who he sold it to but was an attorney living outside of DC. Not an enthusiast. Car was totally stock. There were OE sport suspension options (i.e. Ohlins) but depending on the mileage it may not have the original components on it. This is what a stock suspension on a C70 looks like: Quoted pic for next page... but this picture is a little deceiving... black car and black tires and black wheel wells.. also handbrake is likely on and the car isn't sitting level... so yes, you can fit a basketball in the wheel gap of this example haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also rides rougher than any p80 I've had, with the exception of my 855 on coilovers lol. The car was bone stock when I got it as well and all Volvo maintained with OEM parts, right up to the point I had it the maintenance book has even been completed... He has never replaced the suspension, the car has 199,000kms on it (125,000 or so miles) and the front spring seats are shot so I will be seeing what's in it soon likely. Everytime I turn hard in a parking lot it makes popping sounds that make me feel like I'm about to pop a balljoint out or something lol but I think it's just the spring seats/ strut mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the parking brake and it'd be spot on. Despicable. 1 hour ago, JoshV70 said: Yep, I've owned like 20 Volvo's!

JoshV70 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 That black C70 sits way too high in the rear. Stock C70 ride height. No clue which suspension it had, but given it was a HPT and manual I would guess sport: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yeah that's my car with Canistos. The black car, with the ride height and wheels equipped, leads me to believe it's LPT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woah4 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Just saw a P80 C70 convertible, I should have snapped a picture it was gorgeous, 427 grey with what looked like almost an atacama coloured interior?? I've never seen it before, it was amazing. Couldn't tell if it was auto or manual but the top was down and I could see the centre dash mounted premium stereo, it was driven by an older guy with driving gloves on haha. What dreams are made of, I'm not sure how rare it is but damn it looked nice, other than mine it's the only 427 C70 I've seen (mind you not a coupe) and I've never seen a P80 with that interior colour, would love to swap one into mine.

JoshV70 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Would take that interior over GT interior in anything but a Saffron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the front seats/ centre console lid would fit if nothing else, but if the whole thing would swap that would look incredible, if I can find one!! Found this picture online, it is EXACTLY how the car looked today, right down to the wheels! maybe it isn't so rare after all, but it's still a stunning combo. I'd love to have it in my coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woah4 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 I guess it can't be that rare, I just found one for sale locally lol. But look at the price tag!! Jeez. Beautiful car though, and to each their own but 427 on lava is so sexy to me. 2004 Volvo C70 HPT CONVERTIBLE R DESIGN on Kijiji http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/city-of-toronto/2004-volvo-c70-hpt-convertible-r-design/1184058832 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
