1989 SAAB 900T CONVERTIBLE
122K miles. Automatic.
Now, the Saab story as they say. I purchased this car in 1994. That's right, 94! I bought it at an insurance auction in Georgia. It's always been in the south so no rust whatsoever. They had totaled the car out because of fire. The battery had caught fire and burned the right front corner of the car. (See picture) Over the next 4 years I slowly replaced everything necessary for it to be inspected and roadworthy. Hood, distributor, wiring harness from headlights to ignition switch, etc etc. Never any damage inside the car. Never any structural either. There is a small scratch on the right rear corner of the hood. (see picture) It could be touched up by a good artist.
Outside, the body is laser straight. Laser straight! Original paint except, of course, the hood and right fender.
SPG wheels with new tires.
Around 1999 or 2000 I sold it to a friend who drove it, then sold it to his son, who sold it back to me after a year or so, around 2001. Six years later I registered it again in 2007. While his son owned it, he replaced the steering rack, shocks, convertible top and a factory rebuilt transmission. Since he sold it back to me, in the 12 years since, I've put about 5K miles on it. Reupholstered the interior and many other little things. The back seats are original leather and the front seats are identical vinyl. This car has been well cared for.
The engine: SPG 9 stage one turbo kit. Injectors, APC box, adjustable fuel regulator, by pass valve etc. Modified Mitsubishi turbo to eliminate bottom end lag. This car is fast!!
The air conditioning is removed (compressor, condensor, drier and lines) but will come with the car. Since it is probably going to sell to someone in the north (no one knows what a Saab is in the deep south) I can't see installing it at this time. It all worked and will be in the trunk.
Also, new timing chain and tensioner installed two years ago. That's why the ac is off the car. In order to replace the timing chain, the engine has to come out of the car. Oh yes, super stereo system. And yes, the electric antennae goes up and down like it should. Comes with boxes of miscellaneous parts.
The car has been sitting in my garage for the last 5 years. Time to go.
Look at my feedback and buy with confidence.

3 former Saab execs charged with tax evasion
Mon, 20 May 2013The Associated Press reports three former Saab executives have been arrested on charges of accounting fraud. Swedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren has refused to identify the individuals, but says they're suspected of attempting to evade taxes by falsifying Saab accounts between 2010 and 2011 during the Spyker years. Other reports indicate the parties involved include former General Counsel to Saab Kristina Geers (seen to the left of former CEO Victor Muller, above), a 15-year-veteran of the company - her husband, Eric, was the company's communications director for 9 years as well.
Saab filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and was purchased shortly thereafter by National Electric Vehicle Sweden. If convicted, the trio could face up to four years in prison for their crimes under Swedish law.
Vampire Weekend burns for Saab
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Or is it the other way around?
Could Vampire Weekend be trying to tell me something? A just-launched music video for the indie rock band's new single Diane Young features what looks like a pretty mint black Saab 900 Turbo Convertible being torched in slow-motion. In fact, with the exception of a brief, flickering cameo by a 900 three-door of a similar vintage, that's all that there is to the nearly three-minute long video. It's both sad and oddly beautiful.
Coincidentally, I have a similar-looking turbocharged black Saab convertible sitting in my garage, and I've been reluctantly pondering its sale this very week. Admittedly, mine is a later model (2001 9-3 Viggen), but tri-spokes and more tapered rump aside, it looks eerily identical. And while mine isn't mired in flames (I love it too much to torch it), through no fault of its own, it's been sitting motionless far too regularly. Thankfully, I see a better future for it than the droptop seen above.
Saab's latest Chinese owners facing their own credit woes
Sat, 16 Aug 2014Poor Saab, it can't seem to get a break. General Motors couldn't seem to make a go of it, neither could Spyker, and now it seems that its latest owner is encountering some problems of its own.
That owner, of course, is National Electric Vehicle Sweden, a Swedish holding company owned by Chinese investors. NEVS recently restarted production at the Saab plant in Trollhättan, Sweden, and had some ambitious plans for the brand's revival, but it appears to have run out of cash.
This according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, which discovered that NEVS is having trouble paying its suppliers. One such supplier, called Labo Test, has reportedly been owed some $22,000 by NEVS since February, and without payment, petitioned the Swedish government to place NEVS into bankruptcy proceedings. If that seems a little extreme to you over twenty-two grand, it would seem the parties agree, as the petition has reportedly since been withdrawn.
