Kop Kamper Special, state restricted. I saw this thing in the flesh, it is huge.

They've tried to sell it a couple times, last week it was a no-sale at $15k.

Under 100k showing, clean enough it might be right

Not on the block yet, likely a dealer consignment. Wearing plenty of Lot Rash.
The helpful note is "Level II Turbo".

Dealer consignment.

Hard to say which is more surprising, having an Alfa at this auction house; somebody got one to run for 194k; or finding two space saver spares to put on it. They must fit something else, but they are the right color.
Edit: On the block 8/15, starting bid is $200, note says 'Reserve met' with no takers. Philly is a tough crowd.

Certainly isn't as hateful in the rear as some.

Hard to say how long it sat under the old oak tree, but there is moss.
Dash pad looks intact. All aughts trip ODO.

The black V70 AWD in NH looks nice. The only problems I see are a fender dent, wrecked center console wood trim, and... it's an AWD.

DC has a 2002 C70 manual with a rather beat interior. Failed ABS module, listed as a failed clutch. New coolant tank and, I think, top engine mount suggests it was maintained. Buy it for the M56 and the radio.

I put it on my watch list when it showed up on inventory; they sometimes send the email well after they put something on the calendar.

Made $2550 with fees - if it sold. That's pretty strong money for a sack full of snakes, but they were pretty rare in '96 and not getting better
