1978 Saab 99 Turbo, 101K orig miles, runs well, upgraded transmission from 4 to 5 speed, I have owned this car for close to 10 years, parked for years until recently. New paint, original Inca wheels, interior showing its age. Fun fast car thats really quite rare, being only one of 4233 imported to the USA in 1978. Production started in 1977 with 100 test cars and continued until 1980 when it was replaced by the 900 turbo. The 99 turbo was only imported to the US in 1978. NADA classic car values are pretty kind to this car, I am not so optimistic. Has factory rear louvers and rare sunroof wind deflector. Front air dam is off of an 80's 900 turbo. The originals are very difficult to find and are very fragile.

Pros:
replace ball joints, fresh brake pads up front, new master cylinder, alternator, battery. New KYB shocks up front and have new rears but yet to install. Also included are new front rotos, calipers and rear pads. Rust free Pacific NW car purchased locally new. I am the 3rd owner. Sunroof seals with no leaks, runs well, shifts fine and stops well with power brakes.

Cons:

Paint is new but a 10 footer, interior showing its age, evidence of accident repair to left front but title is clean and clear, Tires are old, have plenty of tread but should be replaced. Missing all badges and lower trim for trunk. Windshield weather striping locking trim needs to be replaced, all corner pieces present and winshield seal is fine. 2 bullseyes in windshield, but same as 900's upto 1991. Tachometer is non-op, but hope to include another. Heater controls non-op but replacement included.

Overall, a nice example of a rare Saab, I have driven it regularly and had hoped to restore the interior but too many projects and the years are catching up on me. Fly in drive home condition. Solid fun to drive car. Please ask questions prior to bidding.

I am sure I am missing something but overall a nice example or a rare Saab Turbo 99. Drive anywhere, can prep for long trip at buyers expense if needed.

Vampire Weekend singer responds to burning Saab controversy [w/video]

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

Last week, we tipped you off about Vampire Weekend and their new music video for the song Diane Young, a short film that consists entirely of setting fire to two perfectly nice-looking Saab 900 automobiles. The indie rock band's video - viewable by scrolling down - predictably triggered the internet ire of classic car enthusiasts - Saabophiles in particular - and word of the unrest eventually got back to the band itself.
According to music site Spinner (nb: owned by Autoblog parent AOL), the group was "stunned" at the backlash - enough that lead singer Ezra Koenig felt compelled to respond himself. According to Koenig, the band was under the impression that their record company was "looking to purchase the cheapest, oldest cars possible; they weren't trying to buy a beautiful perfect condition car." By way of apology, Koenig even goes so far as to note that bandmate Rostam Batmanglij is a keen fan of Saab.
Other reports have claimed that the cars may have been purchased under false pretenses, sold by owners who "wanted to see them go to a nice new home," but Koenig takes issue with that characterization, countering that he understood that the cars had substantial electrical problems.

Saab owner may speed up relaunch with gas-powered 9-3

Wed, 21 Nov 2012

National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the new owner of Saab, has good news for you if you happened to miss out on picking up a 9-3 before the company plummeted through bankruptcy. Automotive News Europe reports NEVS may offer a gasoline-powered 9-3 in 2013. That move would effectively step up the brand's re-launch plan by a full year. Originally, the company planned to introduce an electric vehicle in 2014, but NEVS is currently investigating ways to start production next summer using "a 9-3 with a traditional powertrain" in order to generate more cash for the electrification effort.
NEVS purchased Saab earlier this year with the intent of resurrecting the brand with a fully electric product portfolio. The new EVs would theoretically ride on the Saab Phoenix platform and be manufactured at the automaker's plant in Trollhattan, Sweden. The report of a resurrected gasoline model came courtesy of Mikael Oestlund, a company spokesperson familiar with the company's workings.

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:
