Re: 99 S70 AWD in Iowa about to go to salvage

No, it's black. My first S70 was green, but it had this thing about getting hit until it was finally totaled by some drunken idiot outside of Indianapolis.

99 S70 AWD in Iowa about to go to salvage

If anyone in the Cedar Rapids area or beyond is interested in a 99 S70 AWD as a project/parts car let me know right away and I can send more details.

I was going along normally and heard a boom or bang sound and lost power. The car runs though at first it seemed like it wanted to shut off (all dash lights ...
