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.

Dear Sir,

it's probably a long shot, but is your Saab still for sale?
