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.

Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The 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.
New owners of Saab don't get to use the name
Tue, Feb 2 2016Saab won't be revived as a Chinese-backed electric car brand. Aerospace and defense company Saab AB has declined to let the new owners of the dormant automaker's old designs and factory use the name on new cars, Automotive News reports. It's a blow to fans of the Swedish brand, who hoped the name would be revived on new vehicles coming out of the same factory as models like the 99 Turbo. National Electric Vehicle Sweden, known as NEVS, bought major assets of the Saab operation in 2012 following former parent Spyker's decision to liquidate the company in December 2011. This not only included the Trollhattan assembly plant in Sweden, but the rights to the Saab 9-3 and the platform of its successor. NEVS built some new 9-3s using leftover parts and powered by the old 2.0-liter turbo engines, with the intent to raise money to produce new electric vehicles for Europe and China – and to use the Saab name. When General Motors bought all of Saab Automobile in 2000, it used the name under license from the Saab AB. That permission was then passed to Spyker in 2010 and later NEVS, albeit without the griffin logo. But when NEVS sought creditor protection in 2014, Saab AB revoked the naming rights. Following reorganization, NEVS in August announced a deal with Dongfeng Motor Corp. to develop a new lineup of electric vehicles, which was revealed in December to include five new models by 2018, some assembled in China by 2020 – the first of which being an EV version of the old 9-3. However, Saab AB told Automotive News that discussions have ended regarding the use of the Saab name on these vehicles. NEVS owner Kai Johan Jiang told a Swedish radio station the company will find a new name to market the cars under when they go on sale. It's similar to what happened to SAIC when it purchased vehicle technology from bankrupt British carmaker MG Rover. While it had the tooling to essentially make the Rover 75, the brand name at the time belonged to BMW and barred SAIC from using it, so the Roewe brand was created in China. It's unclear why talks broke down and also where NEVS will get a new name (there aren't nicer ways to spell Saab, and it was originally an acronym, anyway). Will Saab AB attach its name to another line of cars? Probably not. What it does mean, however, is that Saab fans have to cling tighter to their old cars now. Perhaps that's for the best.

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.
