AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PARTICULAR CAR I HAVE FOUND IT TO  HAVE AN INTERESTING HISTORY AND QUITE WELL KNOWN WITHIN THE SAAB COMMUNITY. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED A FEW YEARS AGO BY' BaT' (BRINGATRAILER. COM) THEY ARE AN ONLINE ENTHUSIAST GROUP THAT FINDS INTERESTING CLASSIC CARS FOR SALE THRUOUT THE WORLD AND THEN FEATURE THESE VEHICLES ON THEIR WEBSITE GIVING THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS ABOUT SUCH VEHICLES. BASICALLY PLACING BUYERS WITH SELLERS OF UNIQUE CARS. IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO BROWSE THROUGH AND VERY ADDICTIVE TO A PETROL HEAD LIKE MYSELF. ANYWAY BaT PURCHASED THIS SAAB TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THEIR OWN "PERSONAL" FLEET. THEY FOUND THE VEHICLE IN THE DRY CENTRAL VALLEY AREA OF CALIFORNIA. WHERE IT HAD BEEN FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS.  

 

BASICALY A UNMOLESTED EXAMPLE NEEDING COSMETIC AND MECHANICAL RENOVATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TREATED TO A NEW $3500. 00 PAINT JOB THAT STILL SHOWS VERY WELL WITH MINOR IMPERFECTIONS. THE CAR WAS RESTORED WELL WITH A EYE TOWARDS ORIGINAL DETAIL. IT IS NOW A FULLY SORTED DRIVER QUALITY RESTO WITH ALL KNOWN ISSUES ATTENTED TO.

YOU CAN FIND THIS CAR ON THEIR WEBSITE WHEN IT WAS COMPLETED AND FOR SALE ON 5/17/12 (BRINGATRAILER. COM). THE RESULT IS A FANTASTIC RELIABLE CAR THAT YOU CAN JUMP IN AND ENJOY EVERYDAY WITHOUT FEAR OF BREAKING DOWN. THE ENGINE RUNS SMOOTH WITH A SPORTY EXHAUST NOTE. THE GEARBOX SHIFTS EASILY WITH NO SYNCRO ISSUES OR CLUTCH CHATTER. THE GAGUES WORK CORRECTLY. THE RCA RADIO WORKS. THE HORN AND EVEN THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS SQUIRT! ALL THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE DRIVING THIS CLASSIC ENJOYABLE. THE POSITIVE ATTENTION THIS CAR GENERATES IS AMAZING THUMBS UP EVERYWHERE.

 

TO SUM UP THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE BREED AND IS READY TO BE USED AND ENJOYED. NOT JUST STUCK IN THE GARAGE AND FORGOTTEN. ALL THE HARD WORK HAS BEEN DONE. PLEASE REVIEW ALL THE PICTURES AND ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. WE HAVE SET THE RESERVE AT A VERY FAIR PRICE IN ORDER TO SELL AND CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
