1976 Saab 99 Ems U.s. Version Not 850 900 9000 on 2040-cars

This is a U.S. version 1976 Saab 99 ems.  This must be one of the cleanest, most rust free, original, and low mile 99 ems' survining.  I am only the second registered owner of the vehicle.  The prior TX owner purchased the car with approximately 62,000 miles and put the additional 929 miles on the odometer.  The prior TX owner stated the car ran fine when he bought it almost 8 years ago, but that it needed brake and AC work.  The prior TX owner did not have time to attend to the car so it primarily sat in his garage.  I have confirmed in the approximate two years of ownership that the car does need its brake master cylinder replaced or rebuilt.  I have not diagnosed or attempt to repair the AC, but all the components such as the compressor and controls appear to be present.  Since the car sat for some time, I have done extensive work on the fuel system including dropping and relining the fuel tank, replacing the fuel pump, fuel accumulator, most fuel lines, and fuel filter.  The car now cranks and starts well but it has a hard time remaining running.  I suspect the fuel system requires further tweaking.  I am very reluctantly selling this car but I really do not have further time to attend to it and the garage space its occupied while under my ownership will no longer be available.      

The car was bought my the prior TX owner from the original owner in California.  The original CA owner was an older gentlemen and did not use the car much over the years and typically kept it garaged.  This car is as original as when it left the showroom in 1976.  The interior is in impecable condition with no rips, no stains, and not really even any wear on the seats or carpet.  (Please note, the dash has no cracks but material on the right side has started to pull back/shrink and the head liner is drooping although still in nice shape (see pictures).)  It has the oringial EMS details such as the gauges, badging, stripes, special front grill, and air dam. 

The body is very solid, rust free, straight, and clean with no signs of any kind of body work.  The paint is original and only slightly dulled as one would expect from nearly a 40 year old car.  The paint does have one small blemish in the left rear quarter panel area (see picture).  The wheels are the original EMS "soccer ball" type.  The bumpers are straight and clean.  This car does not have a radio or the plastic housing underneath the middle of the dash to house a radio.  I do not believe a radio was ever equiped with this car.  In addition, the rear antenna is missing but the wiring is present.

The clutch and hydraulics all worked well according to the prior TX owner, however since the car has been sitting for 6 years, it is being sold as is.  I am hoping a Saab enthusiast will find this a very worthy car to complete.  You will not be disappointed in the original condition of this car.  The car comes with a clear PA title and Saab owners manual.  The buyer will have to arrange and pay for transport.  I'm happy to help assist with arangement where possible.  I'm not familiar with overseas shipping so please contact me prior to bidding if you are an overseas bidder.  Full payment must be received within 3 days of auction end.  A deposit of $1,000 is expected within 24 hours of auction end.  I reserve the right to end this auction early should it be sold elsewhere as this car is for sale locally as well.

My feedback speaks for itself.  Please only bid if you are seriously interested.  Do not waste my time or the time of serious bidders.        

Thank you for your interest and please let me know if you have any questions.

eBay Find of the Day: 1985 Saab Turbo Limo is the ultimate high school reunion ride

Wed, 18 Jul 2012

Yes, we've seen this 1985 Saab 900 Turbo limo for sale before. But somehow, this time is just seems more right. And we've got more pictures this go-around.
With the Saab brand now dormant and little hope for a true renaissance, save for one that comes in name only, Saab's future must lie in the celebration of great cars of its past. And what better way to celebrate the wonderful Saab 900 than to chop it in half and turn it into a freaking limousine?
Claimed to have been built by a Denver area Saab specialist, this five-speed manual 900 Turbo is listed with a Buy It Now of $8,500. It's actually surprisingly well turned-out, too, with a pretty decent interior that sticks to real Saab seats, avoiding the crushed-velvet or button-festooned lounge chair look. While this seems rather spendy for a well-used limousine, good luck finding another one like it. And besides, that's a lot less than the $12,500 asking price from back in 2010.

Saab-powered Ford is the most unlikely drift car we've seen

Tue, Jan 19 2016

Yes, you read that headline correctly. It's supposed to be a Saab-powered Ford, and not the other way around (although we fully support the notion of a Sonnet with a Flathead V8). Apparently, some lunatic in the UK took an ass-less 1953 Ford Anglia, paired it with a turbocharged Saab engine, and tuned the entire thing to go drifting. We like it. Called Urchfab, it's the subject of Carfection's (the blokes formerly known as XCar) latest video. Aside from looking like an extra from the British version of Mad Max, it has a problem with grip, in that there's just too much of it. This car is a fabber's dream, as we get to see its unnamed owner fashion new bits and bobs for the suspension before having an unfortunate encounter with a wall at Castle Combe. You can check out the full video up at the top of the page for a closer look at this monstrous Anglia. Related Video:

Boeing, Saab introduce entry for T-X trainer program

Thu, Sep 15 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. Boeing and Saab revealed their entry for the US military's T-X trainer replacement program. The new jet, simply called T-X, is like the lovechild of a F/A-18 Hornet and an F-16 Falcon, and as Boeing tells it, will provide "performance, affordability, and maintainability advantages" over the competition. "Our T-X is real, ready and the right choice for training pilots for generations to come," Leanne Caret, Boeing Defense, Space, and Security's President and CEO said in an official statement. And Caret isn't not kidding about the Boeing T-X being both real and ready – Boeing is so confident that it built two examples before the official unveiling on Tuesday. The first jet, which Defense News reports will fly by the end of the year, debuted to media with the kind of pomp usually reserved for automotive debuts. Boeing/Saab will use the second jet – also featured on Tuesday – for structural proof testing. The needs of a training aircraft are quite different than those of a traditional fighter. The T-X features stadium-style seating, so the instructor riding in back has nearly as good a view as the student in front. Student evaluations should be easy, too, as the open software transmits data effortlessly between ground training systems and the jet itself. Functionally, Boeing claims the twin-tail layout provides more agility than a single-tail design – remember, the military's newest jets, the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II both use twin-tail layouts – while the Air Force can mount two weapon hard points on the jet's wings. According to Defense News, four manufacturers – Boeing/Saab, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin/KAI, and Raytheon/Leonardo/CAE – are vying for the contract to build 350 new trainers to replace the Air Force's fleet of aging T-38 Talons.
