Selling my project SPG. I have been building this thing over the past few years and spared no expense in the process. I am selling her because I want to complete my vintage truck and boat combo. This project has 1,233 miles on rebuilt everything! Pretty much every nut and bolt has been touched on this project- check the engine compartment photos!

I think the 1987 SPG is the most desirable year. It has the facelift, isn't compromised by the early style ABS/airbag system and features the more attractive steering wheel. The AC has been updated to current standards (but not charged) I did an axle swap so you'll have the rear E brake, bigger front calipers, and bolt pattern for the more attractive Saab wheels!

This is going to be one of the finest Saab specimens around when finished. It has a flashed ECU that boosts 18-20 psi and was very very (i.e. scary) fast!! (this is with the stock fuel settings). With a 3.0bar FPR, red top injectors and fuel mapping, this car could be well over 300HP at the wheels. I absolutely loved this project, but my heart has been captured by a new 1949 Chevy truck project.

In the build process almost everything was rebuilt or purchased new. Scanwest in Seattle rebuilt the transmission, the engine (new .030 pistons, head, etc.) as well as the front hub bearings and cv joints. There are 1,233 miles on the rebuilt car. All suspension bushings were replaced, new slave cylinder, wheel bearings, stage 1 spec clutch, resurfaced flywheel, injectors were cleaned, all new gaskets everywhere possible, new hoses and even hose clamps...

I did the break in process for the engine but the rings did not seat properly. I am getting mild blow back through the dip stick tube, and blowing blue smoke. THE RINGS ARE BAD- but the engine does start and run. After a basic ring job this baby will fly again!

This SPG has some very special upgrades on it- an axle swap from a 90' spg, NEW calipers, rotors, pads, lines, 9000 aero rims powder coated 30% gloss black wrapped in BFG rubber, KONI red adjustable shocks on intrax springs(no longer available) with a combo of new poly and new rubber bushings. Wheel wells have been coated. The suspension had an amazing ride for the 1,233 miles I drove it!

The SPG kit has been color matched to the body- includes the wheel arches, side vents, and whale tail. The whale tail is not currently installed, but is included with the sale and has been restored/fixed up. It was painted 3 years ago in Saab lime yellow. The headlights have PIAA bulbs, euro-clear corners, and the rear lights and fender lights have been smoked out to match the theme of the car.

I went with a thermal coated 3" downpipe with external TIAL wastegate- a custom FMIC set up that included NO cutting of the body and kept the AC. Silicon lines and couplers. The intercooler is a Yonaka. The battery (Optima red top) has been relocated to the rear of the car so the exhaust wont burn it.

The interior has been started but not finished. The lower dash, carpet, and quarter panels have been finished in black. The only thing missing from the project is the head liner. Rear seats are in nice shape, the fronts need upholstery. Has a leather shift boot, and I have the rare cassette holder for the center console. All interior electronics work- power windows, mirrors, etc. I spent hours chasing down bad wires to ensure everything functions as designed. The top dash is out.

I'll include tons of extra c900 parts! I have the title in hand, The SPG does sport a salvage title only because it was stolen (twice- I have the police reports!) before I bought it. This SPG has not been in an accident. Completely rust free body- rare for this era!

Throw some new rings in the car and have a driving project while the interior gets finished! I have a stack of receipts and paper work, not to mention the original window sticker! Feel free to ask any questions and request photos from me directly. Call Matt 253-740-4233 with any questions. I want to make sure you know EXACTLY what you're getting and will enjoy this car/project as much as I have. Will do everything I can on my end to assist shipping but you'll need to make the arrangements.

The winning bidder will need to make a non refundable $500 deposit within a day after the sale.

Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Nordic countries are known for their beautiful fjords, blonde-haired populace and bitter cold for a good portion of the year. The hours spent indoors during the dark, cold season apparently gives a lot of time for some crazy brainstorming. Tire store chain Vianor is highlighting the Traktor Terror in a new video. If Ken Block is the master of Gymkhana, then these guys know all about Farmkhana in their custom, turbocharged tractor.
According to the YouTube description from Vianor, the tractor is a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier with an added roll cage, adjustable front suspension and extended frame. The engine is thoroughly Swedish, and it's based on a Volvo 940 Turbo with a Volvo 240 head and Volvo 740 intercooler. However, it uses a Saab turbo Prospark ignition and fuel system. All told, the setup is claimed to make 225 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
That's not crazy power, but this tractor can certainly put it down. The farm machine has no problem smoking those big rear wheels and drifts easily.... although, it may be a tiny little bit unstable (hence the roll cage). If nothing else, this looks like the world's most fun way to be a farmer, that's for sure.

Saab 9-3 production has restarted

Sun, 01 Dec 2013

If you're one of the small cadre of Saab drivers, first of all, kudos to you. Because as Top Gear pointed out, Saab drivers are among the most intellectual drivers out there. Secondly, we've got good news for you, because the 9-3 has officially resumed production at the Trollhättan plant in Sweden.
For those of you who may not have followed the story, a quick refresher: Founded in 1947, Saab Automobile AB was an independent automaker until 1989 when General Motors began the decade-long process acquiring it. Unable to make it profitable, GM sold Saab to Spyker in 2010, but that Dutch automaker proved unable to make a go of it, either, and finally shut it down a year later. Much of Saab's assets were acquired by National Electric Vehicle Sweden, which in turn is partially owned by the Chinese city of Qingdao, which pledged to get production back online by the end of the year.
NEVS has apparently made good on its promise, bringing 600 workers back to the factory to resume production of the 9-3 much as it was when a workforce of 3,500 labored on it and its stablemates prior to the bankruptcy. The reborn 9-3 will be sold in Sweden and in China, with an electric version to bring some other updates sometime next year.

Want one of the last Saab 9-3s ever built? Here's your chance

Fri, Jun 7 2019

National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) purchased the assets of bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab in 2012. The next year, NEVS restarted production of the 9-3 sedan that lasted until 2014. In December 2013, the company pulled a silver 9-3 Aero Turbo from its pool of customer cars, intended for crash testing. The crash test never happened, and that silver sedan hung out at the factory for six years. Autocar writes that NEVS wants to find that Saab a good home, and will put it up for auction later this year. The model has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 217 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, shifted through a six-speed manual transmission. Other than the fact it's spent six years holed up in a Swedish factory, the condition is brand new - there are only 3.1 miles on the odometer. It's hard to predict what such a time capsule might go for. NEVS only built 420 units before ceasing production, so the 2013 9-3 Aero Turbo has rarity on its side. This isn't the only such Saab to roll out of the crypt recently, though. In 2017, a 2014 9-3 Aero popped up in the Netherlands with only 211 miles on the odo. In 2018, a 2011 diesel 9-3 SportCombi wagon with 56 miles on the odo broke through the space-time continuum in Italy. NEVS will put its 9-3 on display in Trollhattan this weekend during the annual Saab Car Museum Festival.
