1978 Saab 99 Turbo, 101K orig miles, runs well, upgraded transmission from 4 to 5 speed, I have owned this car for close to 10 years, parked for years until recently. New paint, original Inca wheels, interior showing its age. Fun fast car thats really quite rare, being only one of 4233 imported to the USA in 1978. Production started in 1977 with 100 test cars and continued until 1980 when it was replaced by the 900 turbo. The 99 turbo was only imported to the US in 1978. NADA classic car values are pretty kind to this car, I am not so optimistic. Has factory rear louvers and rare sunroof wind deflector. Front air dam is off of an 80's 900 turbo. The originals are very difficult to find and are very fragile.

Pros:
replace ball joints, fresh brake pads up front, new master cylinder, alternator, battery. New KYB shocks up front and have new rears but yet to install. Also included are new front rotos, calipers and rear pads. Rust free Pacific NW car purchased locally new. I am the 3rd owner. Sunroof seals with no leaks, runs well, shifts fine and stops well with power brakes.

Cons:

Paint is new but a 10 footer, interior showing its age, evidence of accident repair to left front but title is clean and clear, Tires are old, have plenty of tread but should be replaced. Missing all badges and lower trim for trunk. Windshield weather striping locking trim needs to be replaced, all corner pieces present and winshield seal is fine. 2 bullseyes in windshield, but same as 900's upto 1991. Tachometer is non-op, but hope to include another. Heater controls non-op but replacement included.

Overall, a nice example of a rare Saab, I have driven it regularly and had hoped to restore the interior but too many projects and the years are catching up on me. Fly in drive home condition. Solid fun to drive car. Please ask questions prior to bidding.

I am sure I am missing something but overall a nice example or a rare Saab Turbo 99. Drive anywhere, can prep for long trip at buyers expense if needed.

Court extends Saab reorganization bid until end of November

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

Saab parent company National Electric Vehicle Sweden refuses to go down without a fight. After a recent trip to court, the company is emerging with an extension on its reorganization until November 29. According to Europe Online Magazine, there's also an appointed committee of creditors and union representatives to monitor NEVS' restructuring process.
NEVS still isn't giving up hope of saving itself, and the company claims there are has two potential strategies for getting back on its feet. The main plan is to "finalize the negotiations with the two Asian automotive manufacturers," according to a press release. Those firms still aren't identified, but Mahindra may be involved. According to Europe Online Magazine, one of the businesses is looking to take partial ownership of NEVS, and the other is considering some sort of cooperation with it.
If that plan fails, the second option is to take advantage of the factory and become a contract manufacturer.

Saab's never-was 9-3 gets a few better looks

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

The recent glimpses we've been getting of the never-was Saab 9-3 Phoenix must be like rubbing salt on the wounds of all the Saab fans out there. If that's the case, diehard Saab enthusiasts might want to look away from this. SaabWorld has uncovered a handful of shots of what was to be the next-generation 9-3 hatchback, and boy does it look sharp.
Revealing a clearer look at what we previously saw in grainy images or as a full-scale model, these new pictures show what Jason Castriota had in mind for the new car. The front end is obviously inspired by Saab's Phoenix Concept, while the rear of the car pays homage to the Saab 900 hatchback.
We like the overall look. Let us know what you think in the Comments.

Former Saab chairman Muller faces summons in tax inquiry

Thu, 23 May 2013

Former Saab Chairman Victor Muller may be called in for questioning as part of an official inquiry into suspected tax evasion by three of the automaker's former executives. A prosecutor has officially named former CEO Jan-Ake Jonsson and two other executives in the investigation, and official court documents say that Muller will be called in by the Financial Crimes Unit. According to Reuters, prosecutors are currently looking into allegations that the executives worked to dodge taxes between 2010 and 2011, when the automaker finally went into bankruptcy.
The Truth About Cars reports the investigation may center around the $540,000 paid as consulting fees to Latin America Tug Holding NV, a company Muller owns. It's possible that the Swedish authorities believe the Saab executives were using the tug boat company as a tax haven, and that the automaker should have paid taxes and social security contributions on the money. Muller has not been charged.
Meanwhile, Muller is defending his earnings in a new interview with Automotive News. Having come under fire for his $773,000 salary at Saab, the Spyker CEO said his pay was commensurate with an executive running a company with 4,000 employees.
