1999 S70 AWD needs a bit of bodywork

Post by JRL »

1999 S70 AWD, Beige/Oak leather, approx 106K miles

I bought and sold this to a friend of mine about two-three years ago.
He does body and paintwork and he was going to fix it up for his wife.
But now he's just too busy, (too lazy), too whatever :shock: and never got around to it and finally has become honest with himself and realizes that he never will get around to it.

It's a very nice 99 S70 AWD in that rare 98-99 beige color (I don't know the paint code) with (IIRC) Oak leather in fine condition except the armrest was torn (again IIRC)

I drove it back from upstate NY with NO issues.

It is hit in the RR quarter panel at the taillight
It needs a quarter panel, trunk lid and taillight.
Nothing is bent forward of this. RR door is straight and the gaps are perfect. It flexed up, not forward


It has an excellent body and super clean interior, excellent engine, bevel gear, propshaft etc.
It was previously owned by a Volvo enthusiast, looked and runs like it.

He has all the parts, Quarter panel, truck with a spoiler, taillight etc, and all the small stuff needed, all that goes with the car.
It CAN be driven away (I'm not sure where the quarter panel would fit!). :?


I do not have pictures and knowing him I'm sure he doesn't either.

If anyone can do body and paintwork it really needs nothing else except perhaps now a new battery and fluid changes.
It was a real nice, smooth car to drive and the 250 mile drive back here was a piece of cake with no issues.

Of course it has a clean (now) PA title, it never went through insurance.

It also can be parted out (it would be a real shame on this one as it's very nice) and someone could make money as everything works well.

If anyone has interest I think the easiest thing to do would be to contact me and I will give you his phone numbers

The car is located in Chester Springs PA 40 mi or so north of Phila. I have the title in our (dealer) name so I would actually be selling it to the buyer, he never registered it or picked up the title!

He wants $1500 for everything car, all parts and some more Volvo spares he has
Mod note. Jim passed away in early 2022, his contributions to this forum are immortal, and he is missed. RIP
