99 S70 AWD in Iowa about to go to salvage

Post by pennstate »

If anyone in the Cedar Rapids area or beyond is interested in a 99 S70 AWD as a project/parts car let me know right away and I can send more details. My neighbors have tried to make me get rid of it for years, but now my wife wants me to part with it. I have somebody coming soon who will give me a couple hundred and probably crush the car. I'd rather sell it to someone who is familiar with/works on Volvos.

No, it's black. My first S70 was green, but it had this thing about getting hit until it was finally totaled by some drunken idiot outside of Indianapolis.

Aren't many of the AWD parts now no longer available, thus useful to a select few people? Trick is, those few people might not be nearby.

I would love to but it is way to far away for an economical dragback. Harvesting the whole rear axle would be my goal

Can you send some pictures inside / outside? Also interested in rear axle pictures

I have some business there so it might not be crazy to trailer home
