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.

Spyker and Youngman sign deal, plan to build D8 SUV and Phoenix-based range

Mon, 27 Aug 2012

It appears Spyker is strengthen its ties and carmaking ability with Chinese carmaker Youngman. This comes in the wake of the brand's latest dealings with a $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors regarding the demise of Saab.
Youngman is reportedly investing €10,000,000 ($12.5M USD) for a 29.9-percent stake in the company. The shares are being sold for €0.05 (6.3 cents) each, representing a fully diluted share. Youngman has said it will not take on more than the 29.9-percent stake.
Additionally, Youngman will invest €25,000,000 ($31M) for the development of an all-new Spyker vehicle, called the D8 P2P, named for the Peking-to-Paris rally. The vehicle had been shown as a concept by Spyker previously, but things had been quiet since then. It appears Spyker will now build the uniquely styled D8 Concept shown above. The vehicle is to launch at the end of 2014 and carry a price of $250,000 per vehicle.

Saab to reintroduce 9-3 SportCombi as Phoenix development continues

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

The saga of Saab goes to show that you can't keep a good automaker down. Founded back in 1947 (the same year, incidentally, as Ferrari, TVR and Maserati defector OSCA), Saab split off from its aerospace division, merged with Scania trucks, was subsequently picked up by General Motors, then pawned off onto Spyker before its current Chinese owners brought it back out of bankruptcy. Now under the auspices of National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), Saab has official restarted production of the 9-3 sedan, but what are its plans for the future?
In correspondence with Autoblog, NEVS communications director Mikael Ostlund gave us an idea of what to expect. First of all, NEVS is living up to its name by launching an electric version of the 9-3. As we reported a couple of weeks ago, the 9-3 EV currently is undergoing a pilot launch in the Chinese city of Qingdao (which owns part of NEVS) before being rolled out in other markets around the world. But that's not all NEVS has planned for Saab.
The reborn Swedish automaker also plans to relaunch the 9-3 SportCombi to supplement the 9-3 sedan. The wagon version was part of the second-gen 9-3's rollout in the early 2000s, offering increased cargo space and versatility - particularly vital since GM had seen it fit to replace the previous hatchback bodystyle favored by the brand faithful with a more traditional trunked form to lure new buyers into the fold. Although Ostlund confirmed that NEVS has "the option of adding the convertible" back into the lineup, nut has yet to decide on if and when it will do so.

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
