'97 850 manual Redux

https://www.capitalautoauction.com/inve ... 9456ed5ee8

They finally posted pics of the exterior. Doesn't look too hateful. N/A car, but the vin already shared that clue.
Still can't capture any pics to post, might be some sort of copyright shield.
Keep in mind people don't normally give away really, really good cars.

On edit by mod...added pic

A note on my experience with the Capital Auto Auction folks:
Back before the tax code changed on donated car deductions, they moved 5-600 cars a week, just in DC.
There is an in-house buyer who pays minimum scrap price for stuff that doesn't sell.
A small group of Volvo 'enthusiasts' in DC would bid up the 2/7/9/P80 platforms, but I think there was a spot of trouble with the Authorities. A buddy goes regularly, says he hasn't seen any of them in a while.
I gave $225 plus the fees for the T5 about a year ago; fixed a massive fuel leak, put a spare radio in, and it looks like it will be OK.

Was doing some research on the C70 convertible listed as a potential project and saw this video. The C70 is about to park in a garage full of Volvos. Big production video!



Before and after parking.
