This 2001 Volvo C70 LT convertible is powered by a low-pressure turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-five paired with a five-speed automatic transaxle. Sold new from The Volvo Store in Winter Park, Florida, the car has 37k miles and is finished in red with a power-operated tan soft top over beige leather. It was optioned with the Touring Package, which included an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a wood-trimmed shift knob, and a trip computer, and the car is further equipped with a rollover-protection system, halogen headlights with wipers and washers, fog lights, a retractable antenna, anti-lock disc brakes, 16″ Helios alloy wheels, power-adjustable front seats, a Dynaudio sound system, a CD stereo, cruise control, and dual-zone automatic climate control. This C70 was recently acquired by the selling dealer and is now offered at no reserve with the owner’s manual and a clean Pennsylvania title.
Based on Volvo’s P80 platform, the body of the first-generation C70 coupe was penned by Ian Callum and designed in collaboration with TWR. This convertible was finished by the factory in red (601) and features a power-operated Sand soft top. Additional equipment includes halogen headlights with wipers and washers, fog lights, a retractable antenna, power-adjustable side mirrors, and a single exhaust outlet. Paint meter readings are presented in the gallery below.
Helios 16″ alloy wheels are mounted with 205/55 Michelin Premier A/S tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes.

Interior appointments include front-seat position memory, a wood-trimmed shifter knob, a rollover-protection system, a Dynaudio sound system, a CD stereo, cruise control, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates 37k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership.
