Making a RWD V70.............NOT very likely at all V70-XC70

Whoever said that was wrong. What the car is REALLY now is a FWD car with add-on AWD and done simply by adding a bevel (angle) gear to transmit power back and an added rear diff.
You CAN simply remove the driveshaft (front to rear) and it'll be FWD BUT the trans. also has a diff. inside SO it must have both front axle shafts driving both front wheels or the car won't move. Sure, nothing is totally impossible but I'd say it's not going to happen ever with the stock transmission and Volvo never made a RWD 850/X70.

It'd be easier to just buy a RWD car.
