This 1998 Volvo V70 T5 is finished in orange with satin gray stripes over beige leather and is powered by a turbocharged 2.3-liter T5 inline-five paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Modifications include a TD04-18T turbocharger, an S60R-style exhaust manifold, 350cc fuel injectors, a DO88 intercooler and catalytic converter, chassis braces, and an IPD turbo control valve, intercooler piping, and stage 3 ECU tuning as well as a StopTech front brakes, Kaplehenke Racing coilovers, adjustable camber plates, and IPD front and rear sway bars. Additional details include gray 18″ replica Pegasus wheels, a Heico front spoiler, EuroSport Tuning projector headlights, power-adjustable front seats, and a factory CD/cassette stereo. The car was registered in New Jersey and Minnesota before being acquired by the seller in October 2022. This V70 T5 is offered at no reserve with service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title in the seller’s name.
The car was factory-finished in green and Heico Sportiv front spoiler winglets were molded to the front bumper and the rear fenders were rolled before the car was repainted in orange with offset satin gray stripes under previous ownership. Exterior details include an egg-crate grille, tinted windows, 850-style side skirts, EuroSport Tuning projector headlights and corner lights, mesh bumper inserts, and color-matched headlight eyebrows. Close-up photos of paint chips on the hood and right-front fender are included in the gallery.
Gray-painted 18″ replica Pegasus wheels are mounted with 225/40 Falken Ziex ZE950 tires that were reportedly installed in 2022. A StopTech front brake kit, ATE brake pads and fluid, and stainless-steel brake lines have been added, and the suspension has been fitted with Kaplehenke Racing coilovers, adjustable camber plates, Ultra Racing strut tower braces, and IPD front and rear sway bars. Both front tie rods and sway bar end links were reportedly replaced in 2023. Chipping paint is visible on the wheels.
The cabin features power-adjustable front seats upholstered in beige leather along with color-matching door panel inserts and carpets. Appointments include flat-folding rear seats, rubberized floor mats, power windows and locks, and a factory CD cassette stereo. Stains are present on the cargo area carpeting.
The leather- and wood-trimmed steering wheel fronts a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. AutoMeter gauges displaying boost pressure, exhaust temperature, and digital readouts are mounted on the A-pillar, while auxiliary gauges for oil pressure and coolant temperature are fitted ahead of the shifter. The six-digit odometer indicates 131k miles, approximately 300 of which have been added during current ownership.
The turbocharged 2.3-liter T5 inline-five has been modified under previous ownership with the following components:
- TD04-18T turbocharger
- Heavy-duty bypass valve
- IPD heavy-duty turbo control valve and short-ram intake
- IPD reverse intercooler piping and stage 3 ECU tune

A timing belt service is said to have been performed at approximately 124k miles. Service since 2022 reportedly included performing an oil change and replacing the right engine mount, transmission torque mount, and the heater core as well as flushing the coolant. The air conditioning compressor is inoperative.
Power is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. Solid shifter bushings and Ultra Racing chassis braces have been installed. The CV axles vibrate under hard acceleration.
Service records and miscellaneous literature dating back to 2007 are included in the sale.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or damage and lists history in New Jersey, Minnesota, and Montana.
