- Saab lovers, enjoy! One of the best '92s in existence - inside, outside, mechanically, headliner, dashboard, period. I've updated that pesky throttle computer to the version they used in the later Aeros - bingo! Numerous subtle performance upgrades including exhaust, ECM, and suspension. The wheels - oh, the wheels. I've even got an extra set, and for that matter, an extra running(ish) numbers (and paint) matching '92 turbo parts car, either or both of which I can offer you at additional cost. Alas, it seems I'm getting out of the game... time for you to take advantage! Oh yeah, and it goes like a bat out of hell. The Swedish plate on the front is a shortening of the name I've come up with... Svenskapow!
- The paint and body are in Very VERY Good condition. I've tried to detail all noticeable issues in photos. Things that were impractical or impossible to photograph are listed here. There are approx. 3 tiny chips on the front sides of things here and there, the airdam is completely in tact, and looking quite good, though it has touched the ground on very seldom occasion. There is a sub-dime-sized bubble that is miles away from actually breaking through the paint on the front flare of the driver's side rear wheel-well, and that's really it. Just Look At It!!!
- The two mechanical/electrical issues I am aware of at this time are that the SRS sensor light blinks in the instrument cluster, and that the cruise control doesn't work. The cruise went with my throttle computer update, and as the computer that runs the cruise lives right next door to the throttle control unit, under the driver's seat, I suspect this function can be restored simply - and I know a guy who could help, if you don't.
- Pricing on extras will be as follows. Spare set of pristine identical wheels including hard to find low profile Blizzaks with under 1000 miles on them - $900. Spare set of nice Saab Alloy Wheels of a smaller diameter with low mileage winter tires - $700. Identical (save for the interior color) Great Shape Parts Car - $1200
- I am the third caring and loving owner of this piece of automotive art. I purchased it two and a half years ago from the second owner in Chicago, and while keeping it garaged and in pristine shape, I've put less than 5000 miles on it myself.
- I encourage longer distance buyers to take this listing seriously. If you're outside of a 600 mile radius of Pittsburgh, please get in touch to talk pickup/delivery plans before bidding. Otherwise I can drive to you (potentially at shared expense depending on distance), drive to meet you halfway, or make the car available for pickup at the Pittsburgh Airport. I have complete confidence in the car's readiness for even cross-country-sized road trips.
- Work done within the past month - Brand new uniroyal low profile tigerpaw all season tires, Full Synthetic Oil Change, Air Conditioning Dye and Recharge, Full PA State and County Emissions Inspection, and a brand new NOS Saab Headlight Switch.
- Clutch is in Great Shape and has a confidence inspiring middle to low engagement point. Groundbreaking (for 1992) electronic throttle and integrated traction control system are in full working order, and the traction control can be tastefully deleted by many clever Saab shops around the country. Since chipped, horsepower has been in the 220-240 range, aftermarket suspension is tight and quite level in the corners, full stainless exhaust looks great and sounds even better (on the pleasant side of tasteful but still throaty). This engine loves the 2500-4500rpm range, and so does the boost gauge. I have service records going back to the dawn of time.
- If you're looking for a nice, fast, fun, and practical vintage Saab, what more could you want? I'm sure someone of you can answer that question, so get in touch, and I'll do my best to get you what you need in terms of info, assurances, and additional photos.
- WINNER TAKES THE RIDE IN THIS NO-RESERVE AUCTION - BID WITH CONFIDENCE, THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!!!!!

Vampire Weekend burns for Saab
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Or is it the other way around?
Could Vampire Weekend be trying to tell me something? A just-launched music video for the indie rock band's new single Diane Young features what looks like a pretty mint black Saab 900 Turbo Convertible being torched in slow-motion. In fact, with the exception of a brief, flickering cameo by a 900 three-door of a similar vintage, that's all that there is to the nearly three-minute long video. It's both sad and oddly beautiful.
Coincidentally, I have a similar-looking turbocharged black Saab convertible sitting in my garage, and I've been reluctantly pondering its sale this very week. Admittedly, mine is a later model (2001 9-3 Viggen), but tri-spokes and more tapered rump aside, it looks eerily identical. And while mine isn't mired in flames (I love it too much to torch it), through no fault of its own, it's been sitting motionless far too regularly. Thankfully, I see a better future for it than the droptop seen above.
Son Surprises Mom With Dream Car
Thu, Aug 14 2014We can't get enough of these dream car-reveals. Here's the latest one: A son wanted to treat his mom to the car she's had her eye on for years, but it wasn't a restored Porsche or a fancy 1957 Chevy Bel Air. This mom wanted something special – a 1973 Saab 99 EMS painted disco-fever copper. Ever since he was a kid, Corey Wadden's mom has wanted the Saab. Wadden writes on his YouTube video that she first hopped in the driver's seat of one of these odd retro rides while working as a cleaning lady. One of her clients would toss her the keys and let her move the car. She fell in love. After a year of searching and saving, this nominee for best son in the world brought his mom down to the parking lot, where her dream ride awaited. First, he handed her an envelope with a picture of the car and the keys, a dead giveaway. She quickly put two and two together, and lost it before making it to the parking lot. She is so happy and full of gratitude that she actually drops to her knees when he opens the door. Wadden writes on his page that his mom lost her job two-and-a-half years ago and hasn't had a reliable car in years. This car aims not just to get her mobile again, but lift her spirits. It's also part of the Toronto entrepreneur's promise to become a millionaire by the time he is 25 to help his mother retire. Related Gallery The Best Cars For Empty Nesters Weird Car News Saab
New Saab parent NEVS: we're not totally broke
Mon, Aug 18 2014The many fans of 1987's The Princess Bride will recall Billy Crystal's Miracle Max character optimistically referring to the protagonist Westley as "mostly dead." It looks like National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), the company that now owns the Saab brand, fits that description. Of course, Westley does end up surviving and getting the girl. NEVS put out a statement last week saying that, while it doesn't have the cash to pay off all of its outstanding debt (hey, who of us does?), it is "not insolvent" because its assets are greater than its debt. Its suppliers will get paid, but that NEVs "cannot say exactly when." NEVS, the partnership between a Chinese company and a Japanese investment firm that acquired the Saab name in 2012, restarted production at its Trollhattan plant in Sweden last year and had promised a vehicle line that would include a battery-electric version of the 9-3 sedan. Instead, NEVS stopped the production line that was only making about a half-dozen vehicles a day (the gas-powered, turbocharged 9-3) in May because it said shareholder Qingbo Investment Co. didn't provide the agreed-upon cash. NEVS now says it held positive talks with two manufacturers this summer, and that once funding is secured, it will rewrite its business plan with its new partners to resume production. The supplier that filed a bankruptcy petition is withdrawing it based on this new information, says NEVS. Saab made its first cars in 1947 and was eventually owned by General Motors before being sold to Spyker in 2010. Bankrupt by the end of 2011, Saab was acquired by NEVS the following year. Check out NEVS's most recent press release below. And have fun storming the castle. Information from Nevs Nevs hereby clarify that the company is not insolvent. The company does not have enough liquid cash as today to pay all outstanding debt but Nevs' assets are larger than its debt. Nevs today cannot say exactly when, but Nevs' suppliers will get paid. During the summer, the dialogues with the two major vehicle manufacturers have continued and developed in a positive direction. It is a thorough evaluation process that is still ongoing, and the discussions have not been finalized yet. After the funding is secured, and after that Nevs business plan is updated together with its new partners, Nevs will be able to make the decision on when the Trollhattan factory can resume its production.
