RI junkyard has interesting V70

I know this is foggydogg's job, but I found this interesting v70 at a Rhode Island junkyard. Looks pretty tricked out, maybe with the rear spoiler indicating an R, and even a "V70" painted on the hood. I bet there are some goodies under that hood for the taking. I just want the trunk door for Geronimo if it is free of rust. Who's brave enough to go check this thing out?

The VIN indicates it's an NA car.

"61" = B5244S S60/V70 2.4 FWD

Probably not much "interesting" there.

Special Edition =SE so up here it would be leather seats and a few other trim differences and the one I had had no sunroof and that one looks the same. So unless the owner 'upgraded' parts then looking at the condition of the body it may have decent seat covers and may be worth investigating.

Once you see the Prancing moose on the side, all bets are off

It also has the rare dual transmission option

The clues that it's got good parts are that moose, the custom "V70" painted on the hood, the black window wind guards, and the missing headlights (maybe jeweled C70 which were immediately taken by the scrap yard). I'm tempted to go check it out but it's a bit far away. And it's so cold outside!
