Default Today I seen the Sasquatch of the Volvo 850's

On my way home today from Lincoln NE I was going through Kansas City MO and seen the Sasquatch of Volvo 850's, a olive green 850 T-5R. Looked very clean. As I approached it, I decided to shoot a short video of it rolling down the highway. Wouldn't you know it, as with all Sasquatch sightings, the camera malfunctioned and did a short video of my leg instead. Before I set my phone to video mode I took a picture of it by accident, the darn thing looks black. Really sucks!

The cray thing about it is I seen this car for sale about 3-1/2 years ago with 350,000+ miles on it. I tried to buy it but moved to slow. A guy with the screen name Pantech (on Swedespeed.com) purchased it and cleaned it up. Sold it and wanted it back less than a year later.

Here's the pics I have:

I think I read somewhere that 9 or 10 green wagons were imported as special order. So, if you were willing to wait a few weeks, you could get a green wagon.

My guess is that 5 are left.
