1987 Saab 900 SPG Turbo with Whale Tail RARE *saab lime metallic yellow paint*

Selling my project SPG. I have been building this thing over the past few years and spared no expense in the process. I am selling her because I want to complete my vintage truck and boat combo. This project has 1. 33 miles on rebuilt everything!  Pretty much every nut and bolt has been touched on this project- check the engine compartment photos!

I think the 1987 SPG is the most desirable year.   It has the facelift. nbsp; isn't compromised by the early style ABS/airbag system and features the more attractive steering wheel.   The AC has been updated to current standards (but not charged)  I did an axle swap so you'll have the rear E brake. bigger front calipers. and bolt pattern for the more attractive Saab wheels!

This is going to be one of the finest Saab specimens around when finished. It has a flashed ECU that boosts 18-20 psi and was very very (i. e. scary)  fast!!  (this is with the stock fuel settings). With a 3. 0bar FPR. red top injectors and fuel mapping. this car could be well over 300HP at the wheels. I absolutely loved this project. but my heart has been captured by a new 1949 Chevy truck project.  

In the build process almost everything was rebuilt or purchased new. Scanwest in Seattle rebuilt the transmission. the engine (new . 030 pistons. head. etc. ) as well as the front hub bearings and cv joints. There are 1. 33 miles on the rebuilt car. All suspension bushings were replaced. new slave cylinder. wheel bearings. stage 1 spec clutch. resurfaced flywheel. injectors were cleaned. all new gaskets everywhere possible. nbsp; new hoses and even hose clamps.

I did the break in process for the engine but the rings did not seat properly. I am getting mild blow back through the dip stick tube. and blowing blue smoke. THE RINGS ARE BAD- but the engine does start and run.   After a basic ring job this baby will fly again!

This SPG has some very special upgrades on it-  an axle swap from a 90' spg. NEW calipers. rotors. pads. lines. 9000 aero rims powder coated 30% gloss black wrapped in BFG rubber. KONI red adjustable shocks on intrax springs(no longer available) with a combo of new poly and new rubber bushings. Wheel wells have been coated.   The suspension had an amazing ride for the 1. 33 miles I drove it!

The SPG kit has been color matched to the body- includes the wheel arches. side vents. and whale tail. The whale tail is not currently installed. but is included with the sale and has been restored/fixed up.   It was painted 3 years ago in Saab lime yellow.   The headlights have PIAA bulbs. euro-clear corners. and the rear lights and fender lights have been smoked out to match the theme of the car.

 I went with a thermal coated 3" downpipe with external TIAL wastegate- a custom FMIC set up that included NO cutting of the body and kept the AC.   Silicon lines and couplers.  The intercooler is a Yonaka.   The battery (Optima red top) has been relocated to the rear of the car so the exhaust wont burn it.

The interior has been started but not finished.   The lower dash. carpet. and quarter panels have been finished in black.   The only thing missing from the project is the head liner.   Rear seats are in nice shape. the fronts need upholstery.   Has a leather shift boot. and I have the rare cassette holder for the center console.   All interior electronics work-  power windows. mirrors. etc.    I spent hours chasing down bad wires to ensure everything functions as designed.   The top dash is out.

I'll include tons of extra c900 parts! I have the title in hand. The SPG does sport a salvage title only because it was stolen (twice- I have the police reports!) before I bought it. This SPG has not been in an accident. Completely rust free body- rare for this era!

Throw some new rings in the car and have a driving project while the interior gets finished!  I have a stack of receipts and paper work. not to mention the original window sticker!  Feel free to ask any questions and request photos from me directly.   Call Matt 253-740-4233 with any questions. I want to make sure you know EXACTLY what you're getting and will enjoy this car/project as much as I have.   Will do everything I can on my end to assist shipping but you'll need to make the arrangements.

The winning bidder will need to make a non refundable $500 deposit within a day after the sale.
