The special 98 NA in US came as the GT. The 2000 was rebadged in the US as an SE. So yes, what y'all call an SE is what we call a GT for 98. Mine had wood trim, leather, heated seats, fog lights, spoiler, 6 disc CD, TRACS. I made it better by swapping the s70 driver for 960 driver and 816 for an sc901 from an 04 C70 and the 4 channel amp from a 98 s70 t5. Also I wired a Nissan 5.25" bose sub onto the green center speaker harness.
FWIW!

erikv11 wrote: 10 Jun 2021, 08:31 When my 96 850 with 120k on the odometer was totaled four years ago, they gave me 3,000 (!). It was based on one recent sale in North Carolina, that's all they could find. But I wouldn't expect that much, maybe 2500. The money you put into it has no bearing on things. It's really pointless to speculate though, just wait and see what the insurance company come back with. They will look for comparable sales and price it out, like they always do. If they numbers don't look good then you can try finding other 98 S70s that recently sold for more and use those to argue.
It's looking promising for me. $32xx before my buyback price.

SE badge was used on 850 too.

Yes..there are some brochures on the internet mentioning a GT,but...officially from Volvo...no.
Yes there was a GT! June (located in U.S) bought 98 V70 GT brand new. I have never heard of an 850 SE in the US. The U.S. SE models I've seen are all 2000 S70.

Here you go. Seem to be some for sale in US. And the up close rear shot of the white one with spoiler and caution sticker is mine.
Edit: I just realized the sale pics don't have shot of GT badging. And I also forgot to mention that through the DMV, Geico, and my local body shop, the VIN for my car shows 'GT' in the make model trim description.

I asked for one with factory badge/emblem from factory...like GLT,T5,R,AWD...etc.

Show me a GT emblem from Volvo for p80 cars.
Something officially from Volvo...not advertising or broschures from the internet.

I allready said to you that there are some brochures from the internet which mentions a GT s70...BUT GT emblem/badge doesn't exist from Volvo officially....and that's what i'm talking about whole time.
