I think the Ocean Race Volvo is still available in MN

The PA P2 is in my garage sold to some wanker

( I didn’t really buy it, I’ve got two too many.....Charles Bronson)

I should have made myself more available after saying I'd go check it out for anyone interested. The offer still stands for anyone who finds a prospective vehicle in this area. I really didn't think it'd sell that fast. My apologies.
Hi Pete, the car in question that got sold was an almost new 06 XC70 on eBay. Someone here went and purchased it from under us bidders. I was up to $3,800 with 3 days to go and decided to see how high before it ended but some MVS person here hit the Buy It Now and it's gone.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-Volvo-XC7 ... true&rt=nc

The one you listed got refreshed today so it's still available. Do you think you can go and take a look at it for me? Mainly to see if it can be driven onto a car carrier without exploding the engine. Also, if it is obvious that it's had body work done. If it is knocking hard please don't let it run too long as if I do buy it there would be less damage to the motor. If it is too far from you don't worry about it. Thank you.

Just noticed it has the 4C suspension from the button on the lower center console :!: :?: .
Blessings,

BKM

Yes, the Ocean Race XC’s came with that. I think it was an option on standard XC’s, but obviously very expensive.

I’ll try to get in contact with the guy. At some point tomorrow I have to go to St. Paul so maybe could kill 2 birds with one stone.

Thanks Pete. PM'd.

Buy the way, if you decide to purchase it I understand :lol:. Can't resist that color, chrome door guards and wheel combination.

HA.. I absolutely positively did not buy it. I have enough going on in my life between job, home projects, building a workshop in back yard, holidays coming up, to take on a 4th car right now. This also means I can't help anyone with their XC70 in the near future because if I post questions about one, no one will believe me that I didn't buy it.

There is no reason to trip over each other on these with the buyers market that it is/

Of course, if you want one of the Ocean Racers- the MN deal is as good as it gets - buy cheap and work up an engine over winter.

If it had an M66 I would already be on Delta from ALB to MSP direct, but no slush for this lush.

I think most everyone trust each other on this forum and that's no joke :D. You may resume helping others with their XC70 now! About the Ocean Race :wink:.
