98 S70 third row seat: fact or myth?

Post by CIK7 »

Yes you read that correctly. Third row seat for Volvo (s)70. Someone near me that owns an s70 told me he read somewhere online about a factory third row seat installed on either 4 or 10 s70 production models. Is this a fact or myth? The seats are suppose to be for tailgating parties, etc and click into brackets welded underneath the rear speaker deck of the trunk. Let the storm rage!

I want to 'test market' it on my 960. I don't want to ruin the third row I have for my trailer. But if I find another third row in good condition, I'll try fitting it in my 960.
