Body in reasonably good condition for a car of its age - a good prospect for a complete restoration. Timing chain has failed. Repair will necessitate removing the engine from the car and replacing the timing chain and guides and probably all the exhaust valves and perhaps the cylinder head. Air conditioning compressor removed - have parts.Many new parts - hoses, exhaust system, rt front caliper."

This car was originally purchased new in Sweden by my father in 1983. He drove it around Europe for the better part of that summer and then took it back to Sweden where it was outfitted with a catalytic converter and shipped to the US. For the next 28 years, the car was driven in the Northeast US (NY and MA) and garaged. I have had the car for the last two years during which time it has not been garaged, though for the most part we kept it off the road in the winter.


I had been doing preventative maintenance on the car since I acquired it. I replaced a stuck caliper (rt front), all the radiator hoses, the exhaust system, and the head gasket, which was leaking small amounts of antifreeze. This May the timing chain failed (at 108791 miles). Repair will necessitate removing the engine from the car and replacing the timing chain and guides and probably all the exhaust valves and perhaps the cylinder head.

Body is in pretty good condition considering the age of the car and the region it was driven in. The paint is original. I don't believe it was ever in an accident. It is definitely restorable and would make a good project car.

Car is being sold as is, in non-working condition, with no warranties of any kind. Buyer must pay cash and remove car from premises in a timely manner. Title will be signed over only when payment is complete and car is being removed.

eBay Find of the Day: 1985 Saab Turbo Limo is the ultimate high school reunion ride

Wed, 18 Jul 2012

Yes, we've seen this 1985 Saab 900 Turbo limo for sale before. But somehow, this time is just seems more right. And we've got more pictures this go-around.
With the Saab brand now dormant and little hope for a true renaissance, save for one that comes in name only, Saab's future must lie in the celebration of great cars of its past. And what better way to celebrate the wonderful Saab 900 than to chop it in half and turn it into a freaking limousine?
Claimed to have been built by a Denver area Saab specialist, this five-speed manual 900 Turbo is listed with a Buy It Now of $8,500. It's actually surprisingly well turned-out, too, with a pretty decent interior that sticks to real Saab seats, avoiding the crushed-velvet or button-festooned lounge chair look. While this seems rather spendy for a well-used limousine, good luck finding another one like it. And besides, that's a lot less than the $12,500 asking price from back in 2010.

Saab-powered Ford is the most unlikely drift car we've seen

Tue, Jan 19 2016

Yes, you read that headline correctly. It's supposed to be a Saab-powered Ford, and not the other way around (although we fully support the notion of a Sonnet with a Flathead V8). Apparently, some lunatic in the UK took an ass-less 1953 Ford Anglia, paired it with a turbocharged Saab engine, and tuned the entire thing to go drifting. We like it. Called Urchfab, it's the subject of Carfection's (the blokes formerly known as XCar) latest video. Aside from looking like an extra from the British version of Mad Max, it has a problem with grip, in that there's just too much of it. This car is a fabber's dream, as we get to see its unnamed owner fashion new bits and bobs for the suspension before having an unfortunate encounter with a wall at Castle Combe. You can check out the full video up at the top of the page for a closer look at this monstrous Anglia. Related Video:

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."
