This is true VERY true! I just don't like modern cars. I want the Executive or a extremely loaded wagon. I'm holding out for that garage Queen with no miles in original condition. Preferably blue! June

I have to admit, one of my favorite all time cars were the mid to late 90's Cadillac, the Seville STS in particular. I have a 98 Seville STS and a 96 Deville Concours.Both are beautiful cars, I will share some pics if allowed ) . The 98 STS I have completely gutted and cleaned,steamed and shampooed every crack crevice etc and put all back together, the interior looks practically new.
The 4.6 DOHC 32 Valve Nothstar was famous for overheating, mine has the VIN 9 300HP engine, I drilled and tapped the heads and installed Studs from a kit built by Northstar Performace in Canada. It is awesome riding car with electronic ride suspension, now that the C70 is pretty much done after 11 months of work I can get back to my STS, it was a gift from my wife for BDAY 2 years ago. White diamond pear is the color, beautiful tri-coat paint. I have done paint correction on the entire car as well and clayed all of it.
Since buying the C70 Convertible for my wife as a wedding gift, I have truly fell in love with the car to the point I told my wife I would love one my self. Only thing left to do is the convertible top, we just ordered a new top for it Friday, I know it will be a major job to install but can not wait to see it once finished!

LOL I was reading about the Cadillac and was gonna say GET OUTTA HERE because Volvo only. But yes the C70 is pretty cool, neat little car. I got a SC-901 from a 2004 C70. While I was in there, saw the trunk and back seat. Not exactly the roomiest but still doable. I'm single and a wagon dude, the two door concept is issue in terms of safety in an accident. Yes less cutouts from the body but 2 less options (doors) to escape through. Would be sick to see a normal c70 converted to a 350hp+ beast. I think it's lighter than sedan so already faster possibly.

That's Brett Borders, a national Volvo-mad treasure we have here in Colorado. He works at Swedish Motors in Boulder. Great guy.
