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.

Saab owners NEVS denied creditor protection by Swedish court

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

The story of Saab is practically a Greek tragedy at this point. The quirky Swedish automaker that was once known as a pioneer of affordable turbocharging has been followed by years of news that just seemed to keep getting worse. At this point, maybe the brand name should be allowed to fade away into the ether and be remembered for the good times that it gave us.
Saab's latest predicament is that its parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden (or NEVS) has been denied protection from its creditors by the Swedish courts. According to Reuters, the judges called the business' financing plan "vague and completely undocumented." A company spokesperson told Reuters that it plans to appeal.
Seemingly in reaction to the court's decision, NEVS posted a press release on its website announcing that the company had applied "for a reorganization to create more time for the ongoing negotiations." The automaker continues to claim that it's negotiating with two global automakers to sell a portion of the company, possibly Mahindra, but the process is taking longer than it originally predicted. It seems a distinct possibility that this reorganization attempt is simply a way to buy extra time.

Greetings from Trollhattan. I'm Emily, but I'm not a Saab.

What’s Swedish for “never give up”? Saab, apparently. The fondly-remembered car company formerly called just that — and now named NEVS — is only a shell, employing just a limited crew in the land of trolls. But itÂ’s got something to sell, and that something seems like it's really something. ItÂ’s called Emily. The Emily GT exists as six prototype electric cars, according to NEVS, with a combined horsepower rating (per car) of 484 powered by an enormous 175-kilowatt lithium-ion battery thatÂ’s good for 600 miles of range. In development almost since Saab's demise — the company, once owned by General Motors, was closed down in 2010 — the Emily is a very real product and needs a real sponsor, according to NEVS CEO Nina Selander, speaking to Carup. “It is for sale, it is also a joy to be able to show it. It should be allowed to live on, itÂ’s too nice, too good and too modern a car for nothing to come of it. Interested parties are welcome,” she said. Photos of the car show a modern, forward-thrust profile with handsome lines, a look similar to the last Saab 9-5 and VolvoÂ’s S60 (must be a Swedish thing) and a fashionable, sci-fi-ish interior. A hopeful engineer on the project estimates that the car is less than two years away from some kind of series production, but according to the modest NEVS website, the company is currently in “hibernation” even as it continues to solicit buyers for the Emilys. Said Peter Dahl, the Emily project manager, “Many have asked us what we have been doing for 10 years. We have developed 13 different car projects, this is one of them.” Related video: Volvo Saab Automotive History Electric Future Vehicles Classics

One-off 1997 Saab 900 EX prototype headed to auction

Sat, Sep 23 2023

An obscure and fascinating part of Saab's history is looking for a new home. The one-off 1997 900 EX was built in Norway to celebrate the company's 50th birthday, and while it was not approved for production it shows what a sporty, 900-derived coupe could have looked like. British auction house Bonhams explains that Per Ekstrom, an auto body expert and enthusiast according to The Drive, worked closely with Saab and Norwegian road authorities to create the 900 EX. His goal wasn't merely to create an eye-catching coupe that's pretty to look at but impossible to drive; he wanted the model to be street-legal and drive like a regular-production car. The auction description notes that the 900 EX was built by experienced professionals with Saab's blessing and that the process required between 3,000 and 4,000 hours of work. The end result is stunning. While the headlights and the grille create a strong visual link between the EX and the second-generation 900, which enthusiasts often refer to as the GM900, the roof line has been lowered by nearly three inches and the body has been considerably widened thanks in part to 9000 CS-sourced front and rear wheel arches. We're told that the rear window comes from a 900 Cabriolet's soft top and that the hatch is a modified panel sourced from a standard 900, though pictures of the back end haven't been released as of writing. Bonhams describes the build quality as "exceptional" and says that the panel gaps are better than those seen on many modern cars. It adds that the red and gray paint (which is a tribute to the combination often seen on the 900 SPG) is original and "in close to perfect condition."  The interior is largely standard 900 fare. There's wood trim, leather upholstery, a three-spoke steering wheel, and the big knobs and buttons that characterized Saab models for decades. The brand designed the switchgear so that it could be easily operated by someone wearing gloves. The odometer displays about 141,600 kilometers, which represents approximately 88,000 miles, though Bonhams pegs the engine's mileage at around 154,000 kilometers (roughly 95,600 miles). Most of the miles were reportedly added before engine ended up in the EX. Speaking of the engine, power comes from a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder sourced from Saab's regular-production parts bin and tuned to send 220 horsepower to the front wheels. It's bolted to a five-speed manual transmission.
