"The car is running and driving properly and has been driven often during the past years during the summer and attended the Saab Festival in 2019. The car only requires routine maintanace and some cosmetic fixes."

Description

The Saab 99 Turbo was released to the public in 1978, however Saab built 100 per series car in 1977 that were mostly utilized by Saab workers as test cars, and this is test car "929" 9 being 99 and 29 the car number and that is also supported by documents "see pictures". What makes the vehicle even more unique is that it was manufactured to USA specifications and was reportedly one of just two cars produced with AC. The Saab employee owned this car while working for Saab in the USA and imported it to Sweden when he returned. Due to internal complications regarding the sale of cars to employees, his friend purchased the car from Saab in 1981 and later transferred ownership in 1985; it has since been in the ownership of retired Saab employees and is only being sold due to age and illness. The is now being looked after and stored by the owners friend thats a Saab enthusiat that maintained the car and drive often during the summer, the car is ready to drive home and is inspected/MOTed until 2024-06-30

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car runs and drives fine, and it still has that turbo kick, good brakes, clutch, and gear shifts. The AC pump operates when the engine is running, although its effectiveness has not been thoroughly tested. Nice Inca alloy wheels and tires, only needs routine maintenance.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior of the car is in its original and complete state, featuring Saab Turbo instruments and various other characteristics. However, there are a few areas that require attention. The vinyl on the dashboard has begun to lift, the headliner shows signs of wear, and there are some holes in the seats as depicted in the attached pictures. One positive addition is the presence of headrests with cushions. It is worth noting that the entire interior would greatly benefit from a comprehensive reconditioning. Furthermore, the test car stick is still in place, with "929" displayed on the dashboard.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car's bodywork is generally straight, with small blisters in some areas. There are no serious rust issues around the lower door edges. The underbody is clean but has small rust blisters mainly around the jacking points. The paintwork has touch-ups and scratches, primarily on the doors and bonnet. There is a crack in the corner of the windscreen and a broken driver blinker cover. An additional mirror is being fitted to match the car once a gasket is obtained.

  • General condition:

    Whether you decide to keep it in its present drivable condition or undergo a full renovation, purchasing this car offers you a wonderful piece of Saab history that is steadily increasing in value.
