This is a NO RESERVE listing.

This is my 2008 Saab 9-7x Aero SUV.  This is an ultra-rare, very collectible SUV- only 500 of them were made in 2008.  This was the most powerful, most expensive Saab ever made.

This SUV was built by the GM Performance Division, and it uses the same 6.0L LS2 V8 engine as the Chevy Corvette and Pontiac GTO of the time.  The 9-7x Aero is in fact a more luxurious and better-looking version of the Chevy TrailBlazer SS. 

The uniqueness, high horsepower, and astonishing performance of the few 9-7X Aero vehicles built has increased their value and is now turning them into prized and sought-after collectibles.

The Aero package includes the 390HP engine, beefed-up automatic transmission, limited-slip differential, 20" wheels, improved suspension, plus "Aero" embroidered leather seats and floormats.  This superb Aero will accelerate from 0-60 in less than 6 seconds- amazing!

You will not find a nicer 9-7x Aero for sale, if you can find one at all.

This Saab has the following equipment and options:

  • 6.0L LS2 V8 with 390 HP
  • full-time AWD
  • automatic transmission
  • power moonroof
  • leather upholstery with "Aero" embroidery
  • heated seats
  • touch-screen DVD-based navigation system integrated with BOSE premium audio
  • rear seat DVD entertainment system with flip-down screen and wireless headphones
  • OnStar
  • traction control and ABS brakes
  • power locks and power windows
  • 20" aluminum wheels
  • power adjustable pedals
  • towing package

This 9-7x has every option that was available- it is a fully loaded luxury SUV with astonishing horsepower, acceleration, handling and braking. 

This 9-7x Aero is in excellent condition.  The paint and body are in very good condition- the car has never been in any accidents and it has a clean Carfax report.  The paint is all original with the exception of the front bumper, which has been resprayed due to stone nicks and looks superb.  The body is clean and excellent and the paint is in superb condition.  You cannot find fault with the body or exterior of this truck.

The interior of this SUV is in very nice condition.  The leather seats are clean, soft and in great shape.  The carpets are clean and well-kept.  This interior is very nice.

This 9-7x starts, runs and drives great.  The engine runs perfectly and the transmission, suspension, brakes and handling are very good.  There are no known mechanical problems and there are no warning lights illuminated on the dash. 

This is a superb 9-7x Aero.  Please keep in mind that this is a 2008, not a 2013.  It has normal and very minor wear and tear that you'd expect for the age.  It has been extremely well cared-for and it is in great shape. 

I have two keys, plus the books and manuals, plus the navigation DVD disc. 

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home.  You may also wish to have the car shipped- I highly recommend Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481.

This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH.

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible

Fri, Oct 14 2022

I live in Colorado, where Saabs were loved deeply by residents going way back to the 96 (and I'm sure a few 92s were sold here in the 1950s, though I haven't found any in local car graveyards … yet). By far the easiest pre-GM Trollhattanites to find in Centennial State wrecking yards these days are the 1978-1993 900s, and I walk by a half-dozen for each one that I document as a Junkyard Gem. We admired a gloriously brown 900 Turbo two-door a few months back, but today's 900 Turbo is an extremely rare cabriolet version, the first I've found in a boneyard in at least 15 years. The convertible 900 was available only as a turbocharged version in the United States when it was introduced for the 1986 model year, and that continued through 1991. After that, a naturally-aspirated 900 convertible could be bought here. When in very nice condition, these cars can bring tidy sums. A super-low-mile '87 900 Turbo convertible just sold for $145,000 recently, in fact. This car has more than 843 times as many miles on the odometer as that car, however, and it shows every one of them. It's not terribly rusty, considering, but the sheet metal shows many battle scars, and the interior is about what you'd expect with 33-year-old leather. Last year's film adaptation of Haruki Murakami's short story, "Drive My Car," put the Saab 900 Turbo back into mainstream cultural awareness. However, that car is a two-door sedan; the best-known Saab 900 Turbo Convertible in cinema history is the one driven by Iben Hjelje's character in the film adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel, "High Fidelity." These cars were fairly quick for their time, with 160 horsepower from this DOHC 2.0-liter straight-four in 1989. Having seen more than my share of 900 Turbos going up against same-era BMW E30s and Acura Integras on road courses, I'd put my money on the Saab in a wheel-to-wheel race (that is, in a race short enough to keep the Swede's nervous engine alive). While a three-speed automatic was available on this car, the kind of Americans odd enough to buy Saabs in 1989 also tended to be the type that wanted manual transmissions. In fact, I can't recall ever seeing a (non-Opel-based) 900 with a slushbox. Yes, Opel! Starting in the 1994 model year, the 900 name went on a car based on the Opel Vectra platform. Later on, the Saab 9-5 and Saturn L-Series lived on the same chassis. Given all the luxury features and genuine performance, this car was a pretty good value for the price in 1989.

Junkyard Gem: 1983 Saab 900 Turbo 4-Door Hatchback

Sun, Mar 20 2022

I've been finding quite a few interesting Saabs in Colorado car graveyards lately, including a 96 and a 99 (sadly, a discarded example of a Saab 92 has eluded me — at least in the United States — so far), and now it's the turn of the factory-hot-rod Saab that gave car shoppers more horsepower per dollar than anything they could buy from Germany at the time: the 900 Turbo. I found this car a few weeks back in a yard just south of Denver. Saab sold the original version of the 900 in the United States for the 1979 through 1993 model years (after that, the 900 name went on a car based on the Opel Vectra and closely related to the Saturn L-Series), and the early 900s looked very much like their 99 ancestors. Saab was an early adopter of turbocharging, and so the 900 Turbo was available here for the entire 1979-1993 sales run. This engine, a 2-liter slant-four derived from a 1960s Triumph design (and first cousin to the engine used in the Triumph TR7), was rated at 135 horsepower in 1983. That was big power for a small car in the Late Malaise Era, and it gave the 1983 Saab 900 Turbo a power-to-weight ratio similar to what you got in the Mitsubishi Starion and Porsche 944 that year. Electronic fuel injection finally made turbocharging work well for everyday driving (though the Maserati Biturbo stuck with blow-throw Weber carburetors all the way through 1986 in the United States), and it wasn't long before TURBO became a magical word. Yes, by 1984 you had Ozone and Turbo break-dancing while Ice-T makes his film debut. A few years earlier, with the (carbureted) Turbo Trans Am's not-so-stellar reliability on display, Boogaloo Shrimp's character would have been assigned a different name. Though it's possible, based on the fact that at least one 1980s boombox was built from a Saab 900 dash, that Turbo's name was inspired by Saab. Saab should get credit for doing so much to push turbocharging into the daily-driver mainstream. You could get a three-speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission in your new 1983 Saab 900, but it added 370 bucks (about $1,075 in 2022 dollars) to the cost of the car and made it much less fun to drive. This one has the 5-speed manual; I assume the E next to fifth gear stands for "efficiency." The five-door 900 Turbo listed at $16,910 with five-speed manual, which comes to about $49,055 today. A new BMW 528e cost $23,985 that year ($69,580 now) and offered just 121 horsepower.

Boeing, Saab take first flight in T-X trainer 36 months after starting development

Wed, Dec 21 2016

This post is appearing on Autoblog Military, Autoblog's sub-site dedicated to the vehicles, aircraft and ships of the world's armed forces. Bringing a new fighter from drawing board to its first flight is generally a lengthy endeavor, taking years of planning and tweaking and engineering. Or, at least it normally does. Boeing and Saab just took their new joint-developed training fighter, the T-X, out for its first spin just 36 months after starting development. According to Saab's deputy program manager for the T-X, Eddy De la Motte, that's half the time it usually takes to get a new jet in the sky. "We went from [critical design review] to first flight in 12 months. We don't do that very much at the Boeing Company," Boeing's program manager for the T-X, Ted Torgerson told Defense News. "I don't want to say it has not been done, but for a manned aircraft to go through a complete production-ready design, that is as fast and as efficient as we've ever been through it." Boeing/Saab's first test flight was a simple, 55-minute matter for Boeing test pilots Steven Schmidt and Dan Draeger. The pair took the plane up to 10,000 feet and hit speeds of 231 knots (265 miles per hour) while running handling checks on the twin-tail, single-engine jet. "I've been a part of this team since the beginning, and it was really exciting to be the first to train and fly," pilot Schmidt said. "The aircraft met all expectations. It's well designed and offers superior handling characteristics. The cockpit is intuitive, spacious and adjustable, so everything is within easy reach." "It was a smooth flight and a successful test mission," Draeger, who rode shotgun in the instructor's seat said in an official release. "I had a great all-around view throughout the flight from the instructor's seat, which is critical during training." Boeing/Saab's T-X is one of four jets competing for the role as the US military's next training aircraft. Northrop Grumman is fielding a clean-sheet design that allegedly flew earlier this year, while Lockheed Martin and Raytheon are modifying existing designs with partners – the South Korean KAI T-50 for Lockheed and the Leonardo M-346 for Raytheon.
