OThis 2005 Volvo V70 R is finished in Magic Blue over an Atacama leather interior and powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-five paired with a 6-speed manual transaxle and all-wheel drive. The car was acquired by the previous owner in 2017 with an automatic transmission, and subsequent work performed by Rolling Motors of Watertown, Connecticut included installing the M66 6-speed manual gearbox with a new clutch and flywheel, fitting a new timing belt and water pump, installing new suspension bushings and links, and more. The seller acquired the car in 2018 and has added approximately 5k of the 117k miles shown. This V70R is now offered with the seller’s records, manuals, a Carfax report, and a Minnesota title in the seller’s name.

The exterior is finished Magic Blue Metallic (467) and features model-specific valances, as well as a rear spoiler, self-leveling headlights, headlight wipers, auxiliary fog lights, and deleted roof rails. A chip is noted on the rear spoiler, and the seller notes stone chips elsewhere in the finish as further shown in the gallery. The Carfax report notes a 2009 accident affecting the left side of the vehicle.

The suspension was reportedly fitted with BC coilovers under previous ownership, as well as new front end links, inner and outer tie rods, PowerFlex bushings, and delrin-type subframe bushings. The factory brake system features 6-piston front and 4-piston rear Brembo calipers, which are now equipped with stainless steel braided lines. 18″ Pegasus alloys are equipped.

Atacama natural leather upholstery is accompanied by color-matching carpets and door-panel trim. The “spaceball” shifter surround and shift knob are new items, and the seller notes the addition of R-model door locks, a trunk-mounted subwoofer, and an iPd boost gauge. The driver’s floormat is said to be worn.

Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer with blue gauge faces and silver rings featuring R logos. Just under 117k mikes are shown, with 5k miles added by the seller over the past 13 months.

Power is from a 2.5-liter inline-five which was rated at 295 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque when new. Servicing conducted under previous ownership at Rolling Motors of Watertown, Connecticut is said to have included replacing the radiator, timing belt, water pump, and camshaft seals. The turbocharger was also replaced with a unit featuring a 72mm wheel with a clipped turbine, plus a Mishimoto catch can, a 3″ downpipe, and an aftermarket blow-off valve. Further performance modifications include a Snaab intake and engine mounts, methanol injection, and a custom ECU tune.

The M66 6-speed manual transmission was installed with a new factory-spec clutch and hydraulics, a single-mass billet flywheel, and a new rear main seal.

Work in 2018 included a three-stage paint correction, replacing the rear hatch shocks, installing new ignition coils, reconditioning the front seats, and resealing the angle gear assembly.

The 2018 Carfax report shows history in California and North Carolina, along with the aforementioned accident in 2009.
