You need a 98 V70 T5M. They are not all that hard to find.

Congrats JimKW. Guess I'm going to have to hit the trail and pick up a few more Volvos to keep up with you guys.

Drove from Columbus, Oh to Rochester, NY and back yesterday to get the car. Needs front tires and motor mounts for sure. Other than that it is in great shape. That's the first time I have ever driven a Volvo Turbo Five Speed. Seems quite a bit quicker at low speeds, but not as responsive at 70+ mph, but then again the feel was pretty bad cause of the broken motor mounts.

I went a total of 785 miles yesterday. My white car got exactly 28 mpg driving mostly 70-75 mph. My average mph was 61.
