1999 C70 Coupe 2.4i - Complete car but seized engine :(
 
I am sadly putting up my C70 for sale as a non runner, my friends took it for a photo shoot yesterday and it came back with a seized engine..

If I can't get decent money for it I will break it for parts, however I'd like to offer it to enthusiasts complete first as it's had a lot of money spent on it and apart from the seized engine is in pretty good condition and potentially would make a good candidate for a new engine to be put in.

I'd like £400 for it, any less and I'm likely to just break it myself. The car is located in Knebworth, Hertfordshire.

Specs + good points:
  • Manual 5 speed gearbox
  • AC fitted (but not working)
  • New headlights
  • New front side lights
  • Working headlight wipers
  • GROM fitted (USB power, AUX and bluetooth inputs)
  • Speakers all working with no crackling
  • Black half suede interior, in good condition, rear seats in almost perfect condition
  • Spare wheel present
  • K&N air filter and cabin filter done less than 2000 miles since new
  • Serpentine belt and genuine belt tensioner done less than 3000 miles since new
  • Dual rear fog lights wired in
  • Recently compounded, polished and waxed
  • Strut brace (made by flaggy)
  • Practically brand new Bosch battery

Bad points:
  • Obviously the engine is caput!
  • Offside front bumper scrape
  • AC doesn't work

I have a lot of receipts and evidence of work done since my ownership (2 years).

If anyone has any questions please let me know.

Missed out on my second C70 in the space of a day in Glasgow area! That's four in total now!! Perhaps I'm not meant to own one :/

Good to see it saved, looked a nice one.

Sadly it wasn't saved ;( It has gone to a breakers, I got £330 for it which I don't think is bad but at least it will go on to help other Volvos live.
