122K miles. Automatic.
Now, the Saab story as they say. I purchased this car in 1994. That's right, 94! I bought it at an insurance auction in Georgia. It's always been in the south so no rust whatsoever. They had totaled the car out because of fire. The battery had caught fire and burned the right front corner of the car. (See picture) Over the next 4 years I slowly replaced everything necessary for it to be inspected and roadworthy. Hood, distributor, wiring harness from headlights to ignition switch, etc etc. Never any damage inside the car. Never any structural either. There is a small scratch on the right rear corner of the hood. (see picture) It could be touched up by a good artist.
Outside, the body is laser straight. Laser straight! Original paint except, of course, the hood and right fender.
SPG wheels with new tires.
Around 1999 or 2000 I sold it to a friend who drove it, then sold it to his son, who sold it back to me after a year or so, around 2001. Six years later I registered it again in 2007. While his son owned it, he replaced the steering rack, shocks, convertible top and a factory rebuilt transmission. Since he sold it back to me, in the 12 years since, I've put about 5K miles on it. Reupholstered the interior and many other little things. The back seats are original leather and the front seats are identical vinyl. This car has been well cared for.
The engine: SPG 9 stage one turbo kit. Injectors, APC box, adjustable fuel regulator, by pass valve etc. Modified Mitsubishi turbo to eliminate bottom end lag. This car is fast!!
The air conditioning is removed (compressor, condensor, drier and lines) but will come with the car. Since it is probably going to sell to someone in the north (no one knows what a Saab is in the deep south) I can't see installing it at this time. It all worked and will be in the trunk.
Also, new timing chain and tensioner installed two years ago. That's why the ac is off the car. In order to replace the timing chain, the engine has to come out of the car. Oh yes, super stereo system. And yes, the electric antennae goes up and down like it should. Comes with boxes of miscellaneous parts.
The car has been sitting in my garage for the last 5 years. Time to go.
Look at my feedback and buy with confidence.

Saab begins 9-3 EV pilot production
Thu, 10 Apr 2014To say that Saab has had a tough time lately would be like saying that it's been a little colder than usual this winter. After General Motors finally gave up and sold it to Spyker in 2010, Saab declared bankruptcy the following year. GM successfully blocked Spyker from selling Saab to Chinese automaker Youngman the following year, but ultimately it ended up in the hands of another Chinese consortium called NEVS. Standing as it does for National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the new owners promised not only to restart production of the long-suffering 9-3, but also to turn it into an electric vehicle. And that's just what it's doing.
The latest news coming out of Sweden indicates that NEVS/Saab has started building the first examples of the 9-3 EV. These first 200 or so examples are set to be shipped off to Qingdao - the Chinese city that is home to the Tsingtao brewery, hosted the sailing components of the 2008 summer games on Beijing, was supposed to host an IndyCar race in 2012 before it was canceled, and also itself just happens to own 22 percent of NEVS.
These first EVs have their batteries mounted down low in the chassis for a low center of gravity and have a range of about 20 miles on a full charge. That's absolutely paltry compared to the other EVs on the market: a Nissan Leaf will travel more than four times that distance, and a Tesla Model S will go ten times farther on a charge.
Saab's Victor Muller wanted to nix Griffin, return to airplane emblem
Tue, 09 Oct 2012According to Just-Auto.com Victor Muller wasn't a fan of the Saab Griffin logo. The executive was quoted as saying he wanted to "abolish" the Griffin logo and return to the airplane emblem. Muller made it clear that if he'd had his way, the propeller would have replaced the Griffin across the Saab lineup long ago.
National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the company that recently bought Saab, was forced to abandon the Griffin logo due to the fact that the emblem is still used by truck manufacturer Scania. The manufacturer is reportedly concerned about potential Chinese counterfeiting - NEVS is owned by Youngman, a Chinese automaker - though it's unclear how that relationship would lead to illegal copies.
Either way, NEVS has said the loss of the Griffin logo isn't that important to the company so long as it can continue to build on the Saab name. Muller, meanwhile, said he wishes NEVS luck in the company's electric-vehicle endeavor, but that he doesn't understand its new business model.
Petrolicious keeps our love of the Saab Sonett aflame
Wed, 19 Mar 2014German auto designs lean toward function and purpose. Italian designers deliver passion and beauty. The Brits, majesty. American cars, brashness and authority. If you want a funky design, though, you go to Sweden. The land of cheap, do-it-yourself furniture and delicious meatballs knows a thing or six about style and design, and while that character is only now reemerging thanks to a certain string of Volvo concepts, it use to be that Saab was the authority on penning some of the industry's more unique designs.
Take the beautiful Sonett for example - a small coupe whose appearance is a funky mishmash of a Porsche 911 and a Bugeyed Sprite with just a hint of a Citroën DS (it's that convex rear window). It's a positively striking car, made more unique by its two-stroke, three-cylinder powertrain and four-on-the-tree manual transmission. With just 70 horsepower hauling about 1,500 pounds of Swedish style, the Sonett strikes us as an ideal alternative to some of the English sports cars of its day, particularly for those that are looking for something beyond your average MG or Triumph.
For Glenn Roberts, the Sonett was a part of his childhood. His family owned example was originally a special-order item by his parents in 1967. He bought the car from them 13 years later and has never looked back, completing a restoration in 2004. With a story like that, it's not surprising that Roberts and his silver Sonett are the most recent pairing to get some attention from Petrolicious.
