1999 Volvo c70R
All, I have only seen 2 threads on here about the very rare Volvo c70r. One said there is no such thing, the other said it was a special edition 1 of 100 imported into a few dealerships in the US. Last year, my parents gave my daughter their 1999 Volvo C70r, that they purchased new in 99. They lived in NJ, purchased the car from a dealer in CA and had it shipped to NJ. I know my father, would have never just added an R badge to the car and we have some documentation that it was sold as a Type R. However, I can not find any more detailed information about what is/was included with the Type R suspension package, nor can I find any real information on how many of the R's were actually brought into the US in 1999. My daughters is a nautical blue with blue top and grey interior and is really just a beautiful car. Any info that can be provided would be very useful, so thanks in advance.

As I said, there is no way my Dad would have had anyone just add an R badge to what was actually my Mom's car. Which is why it has only 60,000 original miles on it after 17 years. What I have been able to find out with more digging is it was a dealer option for a suspension package, but I can not find out much more then that.
