Then there was the Talbot Lotus Sunbeam which was similar looking but 2 door hatch to the Dodge Omni. Ran a Lotus 2.2 liter tweaked engine with about 150bhp. These were rallied but were already being outclasses by the Audi Quattro.

The red Volvo abscate has shown looks lovely in that color.

That is a great color, very similar to the venetian red on my wagon. Not sure if that is the exact color on this S70.

A little crusty inside, smooth top, doesn't look all that hateful. Getting close to retail with the fees though. Saturday.

Maybe it shows how little interest I have in convertibles, but I had no idea they made three pedal C70s in '99

Not the most hateful one around, back glass looks intact, interior looks like a dog pen.
180k claimed, $1390 ask.

Found this one on Craigslist a few towns over before Christmas, in the Barter section of all places. Without a skid steer to offer up I decided the $5k price was pretty reasonable based on prices I’ve seen. (He dropped it from $6k earlier in the week.) Made the 2 hour one-way drive late this afternoon / tonight, ran solid on the way home. Not a fan of the aftermarket wheels so that’ll be a search for some stock rims.

How many Volvos is too many?

Nice Krons. Those be ugly wheels indeed but someone will pay for them.

Did anyone catch what the 2000 XC70 on PHL capital auction went for? It was $300 mid week, reserve not met. 127k

I hope it didn’t scrap out

Didn't think of that; it would come complete with the sporty subframe and the wishbone brace too, although it's on the verge of pricey for a car to be butchered.
