1987 Saab 900 Turbo Hatchback 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Waterbury, Connecticut, United States
|
Low mileage project 1987 Saab 900 Turbo hatchback with 133K original miles. Excellent motor and tranny. Previously lady owned ( not sure if original owner, bought it from a customer at work as a work in progress ) solid body with NO RUST and clean under side. Healthy oil cooled garrett T3 turbo with absolutely no smoke!!!! Wasn't my main car, but drove it for 2 years problem free. It does have some issues that existed since day one, but never stopped it from going. Such things like possible clutch master cylinder (meant to bleed the system but work 6 days a week and have 5 other projects), needs passenger side drive shaft, and rear passenger side shock mount welded due to nasty construction on my commute to work. Also needs bakes. Interior is in very decent shape with cloth seats that don't have a single tear, but headliner needs replacing and needs small miscellaneous things. Would also recommend a full respray as the clear coat is peeling on the hood and front part of the roof. Very interesting color 205G Malachite Green Metallic on tan. Definitely "sleeper" material. Haven't had the chance to fully figure the car out because I'm mainly into BMW's and have a lot of toys. Only thing I "had" to do since owning it was fix the exhaust. Already had a brand new stock muffler, but bad catalytic converter. Cut the cat and threw a straight pipe on since it's over 25 years and doesn't need inspection here in CT (check your local laws). Sounds amazing and not too obnoxious. Also have other rare parts I'm willing to negotiate if interested, otherwise they will be listed separately. Please feel free to ask questions in case I forgot to mention something, like I said, this car was on my back burner. Car is driveable, but recommend tow. Prefer payment through paypal or cash/bank certificate on pickup. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of action ending and balance due within 3 days please. Serious inquiries only!!!

Vampire Weekend singer responds to burning Saab controversy [w/video]
Fri, 29 Mar 2013Last 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.
2014 Saab 9-3 officially relaunched, reborn
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Saab is officially building cars again. Production of the 9-3 Sedan has kicked back off in Trollhättan, Sweden, and the first example is reportedly earmarked for the company's museum. Initial sales are targeted for China, although Swedish customers will also be able to buy new Saabs built in their country right away, too. It isn't immediately clear if the model will be available in the rest of Europe, let alone in North America.
The initial run of 9-3s will be powered by a 220-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder before an electric model joins the range next year. There are no Biopower or XWD all-wheel-drive models presently in production. And while the lion's share of the 2014 9-3 is a carryover from the pre-bankruptcy car, there are some changes, including a new anti-whiplash seat system and a "greater number of non-GM parts," reports SaabsUnited.
"I am very proud of the dedication and the focus that NEVS management and employees have demonstrated over the year that has passed since we became owners of the plant in Trollhättan, and who have made this possible. Swedish expertise along with Japanese technology around batteries and new lightweight materials and our Chinese group's focus on green technology is our strength for the future," said Kai Johan Jiang, the founder of Saab's parent company, National Electric Vehicle Sweden.
NEVS Emily GT electric sedan developed by ex-Saab engineers finds a buyer
Wed, Aug 2 2023Even in death, Saab could not rest in peace. In life, the Swedish automaker never managed to get out from between the sales rock and the financial hard place. After GM bought half the company in 1989 and took full control in 2000, the inevitable brand engineering led to cars like a Saab 900 on an Opel platform, a Subaru Impreza rebadged as a Saab 9-2XÂ and a Chevrolet Trailblazer turned into a Saab 9-7x. This went as well as anyone who knew Saab would expect. Come January 2010, Saab was dead. Or rather, Saab had entered a zombie state rebranded as New Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), two Chinese companies in succession buying the automaker's intellectual property, both having to walk away due financial issues at the parent companies. Earlier this year, NEVS showed one of the projects it continued to work on throughout the turmoil, a four-seat battery-electric car called the Emily GT. NEVS said it was looking for a buyer for the project or the entire company. According to Sweden's Auto, Motor und Sport (translated) that broke the story, and further reporting from Saab Planet, the search has succeeded and the Emily will come to life. Saab Planet writes that in March of this year, a Swedish company called Stenhaga Invest bought 80% the the Stallbacka factory and office complex in Trollhattan where Saab used to build its cars, NEVS holding onto the remaining 20%. AMS reported that an as-yet-unknown European investor has signed a letter of intent to purchase two of the 13 projects NEVS said it has been working on, the Emily GT and the PONS, an autonomous shuttle. Svante Andersson, who runs Stenhaga, is reported to have said the unnamed investor is interested in taking control of "a substantial area" of the Trollhattan facilities, "indicating that a significant number of people will be employed in Trollhattan." Back in March, an NEVS engineer said properly funded development could get the Emily GT into production in less than two years. Based on the sports sedan we've been told about, that seems reasonable. Ineos chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe announced the Ineos Automotive Grenadier in 2017, showed a concept in 2020, and had a model running the hill at Goodwood in 2021 — four years for a ground-up design. Saab Planet writes that "a timeline for relaunch is expected to be announced after a meeting between the parties involved during week 32," which would be the week of August 7.
