Hi fellow Volvo enthusiasts,
Time has come to part ways with my legendary C70 T5 Manual.
Bought it with the intention of making really cool street sleeper with approx 315BHP but work got in the way and just kept it completely as it is.
Car Spec / About the Car:
- 1999 Volvo C70 T5 GT 2.3 5cyl Turbo with Manual 5 Speed Box
- Heated Seats / Heated Electric Mirrors / Electric Windows / Remote Central Locking / Think it has Cruise Control as well
- 3 Disc Double Din Volvo Stereo System - Very powerful with Aux Cable
- 3 Good Tyres / Donut Spare as well
- Lots of Paperwork and Bills
- MOT Just Expired
- 2 sets of Keys and Remote
- Strong Engine - No Leaks - Pulls Like a train in every gear - 150,000 Miles
- Strong Gearbox - No crunches - Pulls in every gear
- Strong Clutch - Changes gear great
- Front Brakes - Work but need Changing - (i have brand new Discs/pads/brakefluid just not fitted)
- Rear Brakes & Handbrake - ALl great and work fine
Car drives and runs good but needs the following work to be compelte again and to pass next MOT, also things listing that need fixing:
- Needs New Drivers side wheel Hub Assembly & Wheel bearing (already purchased)
- Needs New Front Brake Pads (already purchased)
- Needs new drivers side suspension or Strut or something (works ok jsut a bit squeaky and clunks at full lock (was purchasing this but this happened just before i got my new car)
- Smallest blow in the exhaust (towards rear)
- The Speedo started to cut out a few months a go ,cuts out every now on then so i would say apprx 600-800 miles are not on the clock as the ABS module needs replacing (spoek to a guy on another forum who was going to repair for £60 - or coulod just replace - cheap DIY part)
- Remote lock on the boot stopped working - Just needs new solenoid i beleive - so i took the boot light out as it was draining battery as it did know the boot was locked - This works fine with manual lock)
Overall the car has great potential and i wish i could keep it as a little weekend tearup car but i now have a Mercedes S600 V12 which has reaplced the volvo.
I have been honest and upfront witrh the car and that you know what you are getting / looking at before / if you view the car. The car is drivable at the minute but jsut needs little bit of work to get it running lovely.
Here are some pictures of this Swedish beast,
please let me know if your ineterested in the car and the parts or just the parts etc...
It wont be pricey or anything and id rather it go to a volvo enthusiast then some chav ragging it on the estate .
If you have any questions please ask, thanks
