The coveted T5 with m56 version was rare, like about 150 total

For NA, probably 5-10x that

Thank you for taking the time to contact us at Volvo.

For (Imports from mid 1998 to mid 1999) We built 15,610 V70's.
Of these 517 were T5, of that 101 were T5 with Manual Trans.

Color Break out of the T5 w/ manual trans:

019 Black Paint 16

*Most T5ms were built in 1998. I'm not certain but I've heard less than 25 were built in1999 and only 1-2 built in 2000.
