Want to talk about rare S60R's.
Only 100 2004 (right hand drive) cars were imported into Australia and less than half with Atacama interior...and I have one! :)
Yes! Good on ya 🙂
-Gregson
John O hey John O, I'm from Australia too and I own a P2 V70R, one of 25 imported to OZ, there were 20 Auto's and 5 stick shifts :)
ShiftingLanes.
Lets do the math.
In the USA there is
(roughly) 1 S60R per 88,100 people.
In Australia there is 1 atacama S60R per 500,000 people!
Woo hoo!! 😆
Darrin Ray. Ok You win! That certainly is a rare gem!
Have you ever seen another S60R/V70R on Aussie roads?
Just saw a V70R wagon today for the very first time, I thought it was a fake as I'd never heard of that model. It's super rare model here in southern Ontario only 160 MTR made it into Canada over 3 yrs. Then I stumble into this video..
Welcome! Hope you like the channel.
-Gregson
Very nice find! Excited for this build!!!
Nice! You bought the right model this time!
in sweden its rarer to find a automatic v70R than a manual lol
Sweden wins, THIS time. 😂
-Gregson
I once drove an automatic and it was horrible; I don't like the geartronic transmissions.
Nah, not really
Both true and false. People hold on to their manuals so we other manual lovers can't find manuals ;_;
YESSSS!!!! I finally found a channel with quality R content. Can't wait to see what you do with her. Also tell Alex he's the partout god (I have a m66 05 S60R, passion red sport kit with bolt ons)
Nice Projects You have , for me as a Swede, to look at . Keep on !!
Great combo on that V70R!!!
Beautiful R cars! I have the same wheels on my s40. It's funny cause that's the exact color I was thinking of dipping mine. I have an '09 s40 2.4 and a '10 v50 R design. Love my Volvos.
I’m so glad ur doing a Volvo and not a Honda!!!!
Super nice car!
Thanks for the video. I love the R's
I have a black 1999 S70 T5M one of 190 manuals for that year. I also have a 1995 yellow 850 T5R 1 of 95 yellow sedans and wagons brought to the states that year. I love Volvo. Keep up the awesome work. Congrats on the VR!
Im VolvoBoostR at the sweedespeed forum.
Marior Castillo-Azucar i also have a black 1999 S70 T5 manual. Im getting ready to buy a 2004 s60r manual silver with 98,000 miles.
Wow, nice find. That's my dream car 😎
Thanks! We love it.
-Gregson
we sweden call those the spaceball shifter
Aldrig hört talas om då
Har en sån på min S60 2.4. Inte helt fel
Du gör dålig reklam för Sverige...
It was called the Spaceball shifter in the marketing material from Volvo, so I think it was the term world wide.
Great video, this just made me love my flash green 98 V70 T5 manual front drive even more. ( still want R model) Looking forward to more videos.
You have my dream car! Forgo the R.
A channel full of P2 R's? *SUBSCRIBED AND BELLED*. Also, that '07 Sonicama is probably the cleanest example I've ever seen. Anywhere. Ever. Gonna follow this guy on Instagram too. What an incredible collection.
Congrats on the M66 VR in friggin' *Magic Blue*, what an incredible spec.
-Proud owner of a not-so-clean (yet) 2006 Ti-Grey/Gobi S60R GT A.K.A. "Dromma"
very nice R collection!
Awesome! :D
I love Volvo's not complaining that you added another to the croup
I was looking for a s60r with black exterior and that tan interior for at lest two years, when I finally found one near me I jump on it. I am a happy 07 s60r owner now. I couldnt find a manual one with black and tan colors so an auto did just fine.
Love the Volvo videos
5:20 OBVIOUSLY they have been restitched. It is obvious as day. You think that corner stitching looked like that from the factory. Damn.
Did you guys already give up on your last V70R “project”?
My fridge is the most rare thing in my appartment, only one ever imported into this household.
*?!?!?!*
I have a 2006 sonic blue V70r manual with atacama leather in South Africa one of 6 V70r's in SA and the only one in this trim a real unicorn
Hey how many miles on it, at the time you got the V70R? Just wondering if it's worth doing a bunch of upgrades if it has over 100k
Looks like it also has an IPD poly top mount! :) I agree on the paint matched trim, love that. Not a fan of the black trim that gets covered in wax from the car wash... pain in the ass to keep clean, always looks grey. :( Those two sedans also had the factory kit! Super rare as well. Been trying to locate a part-out with the kit. No joy. :/ - R w/M66
One of the trends coming from the US I hate most, is the automatic transmission. 10-15 years ago in Europe cars were mostly manual. Nowadays more than the 50% is automatic... I miss manual cars so much!
Literally found a silver 2005 Volvo v70r with 98,000 miles in my state near me for only I think for only $5,500 I live in Kentucky so it’s not too common you have certain cars like this around here at all especially if the car isn’t common I was looking through the picture and saw the manual and my jaw dropped unfortunately I couldn’t buy it
Its fucking perfect, good buy!
BC Racing Coilovers FTW! I have them on my 04 V70 NA and my 02 V70 T5
Soooooo good right!?
-Gregson
I was wondering if you could do a short video of the handling and ride difference between the stock 4C system vs BC coil overs system.
I have an 01 S60 2.4T.
I was trying to buy a manual s60r but the guy told me he actually ended up messing up the shocks and the 4C system.
That really sucks
These are the just the best cars. I've owned 5 myself and just love them. Dibs on that wagon when you go to sell it........seriously!
cmadness1 You can buy my even rarer manual 850r black wagon if you wanna
Never gonna happen 🙂 I’m in love with it!
-Gregson
ShiftingLanes I mean...if you do. But enjoy it and keep up the great content.
Steve Crumpton tell me more!
Thanks! Will do. Let the restoration and modding COMMENCE.
-Gregson
so funny that you can see a t4 and awd model v70 almost everywhere in the Netherlands as they are the most famous volvo`s around with the v50 and v40 (2003-2008 models)
In my 5th Volvo. Love my s80 buy my favorite was my “whitey” turbo wagon. Wagons are really the best utility cars. Mini vans are so overrated. Never had one and never will. This car is sick.
Wow sick even snow tires on the R wheels
Yea but they’re shot. New winter shoes will go on next fall.
-Gregson
Rare hmhm in sweden we hade a overflow with that car .but nice get man
And where i live i see em all the time haha.
I'm planning on ordering a euro FWD manual V70R (P30) drivetrain to swap into my auto base.
My father has a black V70R with cream interior, manual, and it's the car I learned stick in, it's pushing 420 hp, down pipe, 3 inch exhaust, lowered 1.5 inches, intercooler, mail box tune pushing 20 psi, when you step on it you smell antifreeze 😬
Try to find an 07, took me 9 months and a trip to TZE GERMANS
In finland most of them are manuals
Amazing find! And I thought my 80k mile V50 T5 M66W (6spd Manual FWD, black on black) was rare. This is next level. What will happen to the auto V70R you guys have?
We will be announcing our plans for that car on Thursday.
-Chad
Alright, awesome. Can't wait!
The wagon did not come with Atacama as standard when ordered new ? And the flash green one looks very nice , but I believe it should also have a spoiler fitted on the trunk when it has the bodykit . It needs it , when going at a higher speed . Here the blue one is very rare . It looks almost the same as the blue used for the concept car of the s60 .
www.netcarshow.com/volvo/2000-pcc_concept/
wow the volvo's there :D:D:D
Ive probably seen thousands of them here in sweden
Where in NY are you guys located? I’m from Ny as well
We’re actually in NJ, we were just picking up the car in upstate NY.
-Gregson
Hope you still manual swap the other one. So I can do it myself on my ‘04
Rico Lagman they won't do Jack shit. They haven't done anything apart from talk about doing stuff
What's even more rare is a 2006 volvo s60 t5 special edition. What makes it a special edition? It comes with a tune from the factory (meaning stock 300). And some interior trim. It is quite the R killer
Ohhhhh yeah. Now we're talkin'
cool I have a 2006 V70R manuel with dark bleu int. it has 90,000 kms very good car only grip I have is the lag in between hard shifts will be selling it soon i'm in Canada.
I want to know about it when you do decide; I'm in California, so we're practically neighbors! It would go well with my '97 850 R wagon.
As they say: Let's make a deal!
you have to be kidding lol
07 is my favorite year might be cause I got one sooooo
My friend here in MD has an 05 flash green atacama M66 V70R. Almost no 2005 flash green V70R’s were made. His is probably even rarer than yours.
I was going to ask if it was imported, then I saw the "Moose" logo (Swedish Ferrari?). Spaceball shifter..
my selective hearding heard "he buys them... blah blah blah... he parts them out"; haha. wife bought one; we drove it around broken in so many ways for a couple of years; parting it out for more than the $100 that junkyards offered for it.
Is there a way to contact Alex besides IG? I’m in search for a V70R lol
IG is the best place for him.
I probably have to be patient lol. DM’d him earlier this morning
I love Volvos
its impossible to even find a s60 t5/ s60r anywhere near me with a manual that has low miles. Even when I check a couple states over.
They are super rare even in Nordic countries and if you find one it usually has over 200k miles/350k+ kms. Instead of low miles you need to look for one that has been taken care of it's whole life by a good owner.
You should check here in sweden. Every teen has one it seems. :p
Peter hall Even R models?
Ofc not all teens have them, but there are alot around. If i compare to what you are saying. But then the factory in Gothenburg is less Than a 1.5 hour drive from here ;)
Topsite for selling cars in Sweden : www.blocket.se
And the 855 T5 R is also popular
Here is the searchplace on the site.
mobil.blocket.se/hela_sverige?w=3
Did the owner disclose that a tree had fallen on the car before his ownership and caused severe roof damage to the car before you bought it? Looked at this when it was for sale in Michigan before Alex purchased it... just in case you'd like to know.
Please email us at contact@shiftinglanes. Thanks.
How many miles on the car?
138k
in sweden the V70 and V70R is normal to see
Makes me proud to be swedish thats some swedish power booiiiiii
...yea, indeed!
holy crap that's probably the largest group of manual gearbox Volvos ever assembled in one location! ahhahaa
If you'd take a look at any parking lot in Sweden you would take that back haha :)
HJ true, most probably in the US anyway.
Patrick94GSR I live right next to a Volvo specialist shop and they have at least 5 manual Rs and a lot of normal Volvo’s
lol
are manual volvos rare in the us? (Im Swedish)
Very much, yes
2 #dadwagons?? Not fair... you should let me take the silver one for you guys (you can keep this cooler one). My newborn needs something more comfy than my mini but quicker than my girl’s Jetta!
Also, the M3 was always in danger, But this new Volvo sealed the deal.
If your seriously about that, shoot us an email at contact@shiftinglanes and we’ll talk.
ShiftingLanes man, I wish I was, but unfortunately chico state has first dibs on my money for the next year. haha However, watching you guys do cool stuff with wagons is enough to scratch my itch in the mean time!
God bless you guys
New Volvo owner ?
I have a clean (as per local Volvo shop) 09’ S60 2.5T that I really wanna know if it’s chipped. As a short time Volvo mechanic (3mos?) and now an Atty I’m not up on car modding. The ecm looks stock and has no sticker etc. but there are allow of weird little issues that give me pause that someone was “playing” with the car b4 they sold it.
The drivers seat bolster needs to be resewn and some roof ares either rebent or reglued (hard to explain) but that is all that is wrong with it. Oh and I got like 4K off for minor hail damag. (And if I find whomever u are that took ur fist and slammed in on the roof between the rain sill and roof panel to dent it, your time is limited in earth.).
My question is what is a good intake (like the one the teal colored R had) other tha a free flow drop in IPD filter? And how to tell if ,y car is “chipped”. No doubt it’s been done. I’ve no rev limiter, no auto shift at redline, no torque limiter etc, and 0-60 is a bit better than T5 territory. If I use aero plane fuel, ummmm....it’s allot faster to the point I won’t do it again for fear of my tranny goin “kerblammo”: thanx
cliff owens they don't know? The ways of the force? Or....If it's chipped? And can the auto 2.5t's Haber S60R manuals transboxes swapped in?
PS this channel now has me looking for a man T5 wagon AWD or S60r.
ahaha. "Rarest volvos in the country" basically the only thing we drive here in norway. But its good to see some where imported :D
Proud swede
If u time it just right at 3:33 u can see his face
I want it w/the NY plates!
Haha I know. It’s a perfect combo. Sadly there will be ugly ass NJ plates on it soon.
-Gregson
ShiftingLanes What are you doing with the other Volvo?
Video Thursday will explain that side of it. 10am EST.
NY plates are so ugly... I miss the old Statue of liberty plates
Im driving regular 2002 volvo v70 2.4 D5 with manual transmision. Car is awesome, but electronics are pain in ass and breaks often
I don’t mean to be negative, but hey I wanted to see the first one get built out. Is it relegated to a non project?
Next video will explain all that. Thursday at 10 am EST.
I disagree the face 1 does not look ugly with the plastic trim. But the face 2 looks better.
The face 2 with a manual is rare even here in Sweden.
It is a nice car, but I don't like the wheels, not the wheel colour at least, not my cup of tea and it is some thing with the orange reflektor in the normal face 1 and R US lights that make me cringe.
I don't know why but it justs looks wrong to me as a Swe.
New wheels are being put on as we speak!
-Gregson
Sounds great!
Can't wait to see them in a video!
*fase 1 (and 2) .
And does the Atacama interior not come standard with flooring in same colour also , including mats ? The flooring and mats in this model are all black (charcoal) which makes me believe the doorpanels and seats and rear bench have been fitted at a later stage .
Hi, you bought it because the gear swap is impossible on this car. Too much electronic and specific parts... I have a v70r 05. Titanium grey with Atacama leather. Manual of course. I really like the sonic blue S60 and love the green S60r.
i have to of diss hom end on of dem ar 1000hp volvo v70 R T5
end one stanst one
So Angry!!- you have two of them now and i can not find one good one near me- errrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
you caught the volvo disease...lolol
The Swede struggle is real.
-Gregson
Should have just got a Saab 9000 Aero. Faster, and more powerful, and a better handling car. Plus B234R can be taken to 450bhp with NO physical engine mods.
Yeah I have a B234 bottom end in my 9-5. Pushing just over 400 with an hx35
Anyone has the Instagram account of this Alex Spinner? I really want to look at his Volvo's... xD
you guys should have got the V70R first gen instead. Much sexier car ;)
Great looking car, but I prefer the P2s 😍
-Gregson
as a swede myself. I prefer almost all the volvos :)
But nice to see another one on the channel. Keep it up. Maybe V70 Manual vs Auto drag race soon ;)
i prefer any volvo up to 1999 after that they went too curvy
sweden use volvo v70 as a police car
its not the only police car they use they have new cars now
a 10 min video and not once was the car started or a clip of it moving sad times :(
Ha, i knew that was Alex's property when I saw all those unicorns in the yard
Haha he’s the best. That flash is something else. Got a ride in it. GOOD GOD.
-Gregson
Nice job on those wheels ..... NOT ! I think you missed a few spots on the tyre 🤤
I can't really see the craze for a manual Volvo of this generation - as they are incredibly boring to drive whatever gearbox. It's just a Volvo with 50 extra horsepower (stock). The Skyhook suspension even manages to make them a bit more boring. The V60 was IMHO the first Volvo that wasn't a sleeping pill to drive.
A cheap retune and you have over 350hp without changing anything whatsoever, not boring to drive at all
So, why do you need TWO V70R's? (Obvious Answer: Because I can't yet afford three!)
An old volvo with a fast engine. ??
Ok..............
What is so rare about it?
2 of diss
Just picked up a P1 v70R it’s better
Do you mean P80? The P1 chassis is what the V50, S40 and C30 were built on.
Its just still a volvo
ok... those cars are rare but not that rare here in sweden
Whoa well I have a super NOT rare 2010 XC90 3.2 V6 6 speed automatic in Oyster Metallic with a left oriented steering wheel ... I am Sooo Underwhelmed
Shifty Eyed Dog No you don't! :)
Jan Stromback yes. I do. So underwhelming... Such a common vehicle.. Standard issue for dads my age..
Still, no you don't.... as Volvo does not have any V6! :)
Jan Stromback okay inline 6.. derp dee derp
:D
not that rare in sweden
They are not rare in Sweden
rarest... and least reliable.
Annoying
