If you’re a fan of 1990s Volvos and meth, has the car for you. Okay, maybe it’s fake meth. Anyway, listed for sale Gus Fring’s very own screen-used Volvo V70 Wagon. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because Gustavo “Gus” Fring is the successful restaurateur and drug kingpin in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

If you’re not familiar with either show, you might think a ‘90s Volvo wagon is a strange choice for a drug lord — but it’s actually perfect. The V70 fits in perfectly with Fring’s unassuming personality.

According to the auction listing, this V70 (in GLT trim, no less) was gifted to the actor who played Fring — Giancarlo Esposito — after production wrapped on Breaking Bad. Of course, the car also makes an appearance in that show’s spinoff, Better Call Saul.

This V70 isn’t necessarily anything to write home about, but with the history behind it and the fact it’s pretty minty, it’s all very cool.

It’s a spectacular dark blue-over-tan Swedish box. It’s even got some nifty six-spoke wheels. That being said, there are some dings and dents that you’d expect with a car that’s 23 years old. It’s the same story on the inside. It’s reasonably clean, but there are some signs of age. It’s nothing too surprising, honestly.

There’s really only one oddity with the listing. It says this Volvo is fitted with a 2.3-liter 5-cylinder engine. HOWEVER — and this is super nerdy — the U.S. Volvo V70 GLT came with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine. According to, it produced 190 horsepower and 199 lb-ft of torque. Despite the peppy power plant, it’s still fitted to a very-90s slushbox automatic.

None of that really matters. No one is buying this car because of the engine. They are buying it because it’s the car Gus Fring drove, and it’s badass.

You know what you must do. Go to Mecum’s Harrisburg Auction July 27-30th and make Walter White proud.

Muhammad Ali once claimed to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Contrastingly, it will take a bit to make today’s Citroën float down the road on its hydropneumatic suspension again, and that’s only if its price doesn’t sting. While its zero to sixty time may be measured...

My Stanced And Bagged 2005 Subaru Baja Is Almost As Awesome As A 2016 WRX STI
I have loved cars since I could talk, and I’ve loved Subarus almost as long. I love them so much that I daily-drive one of the wildest and worst Subies in New York—a bagged and stanced 2005 Baja Turbo. But when I talked my way into a brand new ,...

Today’s Range Rover is painted British Racing Green. I think it looks good in that color, but will this venerable Brit of questionable rep require too much of your green? Have you ever seen those “As Seen on TV” products? They’re supposed to be revolutionary, promising things like never spilling...

There’s no better place for a crate motor than in a boxy car and today’s Volvo is just about the boxiest. Let’s see if its price makes it a square deal too. Well, I guess we’ll stick to not doing many project cars around here as yesterday’s project couldn’t even...

The seller of today’s Jag says it’s owned by an ‘eccentric 81-year old family friend.’ I guess that’s a good way to describe someone who’d have a Jagamino. Let’s see if it is eccentrically priced too. It seems as though the sun will never set on the British Empire, what...

At what point does a car’s odometer no longer have relevance? Today’s 300SD is claimed to have put over a quarter-million miles on the clock. Let’s see if it still has miles to go before it sleeps. Geez, considering the response yesterday’s received you might think I’d instead asked you...
