We are still a very strong group, us Saab crazies, despite losing our patron saint Erik Carlsson just a few weeks ago. If you’re one of us, come in out of the cold and join us at www.saabclub.com, our annual convention is coming up soon too, www.saabconvention.com ...

I'll just leave this here...

That's a 5-door model, only imported to the US in '79 and '80 but produced and sold in Europe right up until the end of the line in '93. One of the rarest C900s in the States, but surprisingly common in Sweden; now that everything '89 and older can be imported, though, I bet you'll start seeing a few more here and…

I know this car, and yes, it is that rare, and yes, it should easily sell at that price.

Most of the Saab guys I know (I'm one of them) will readily admit that Saabs aren't the best vehicle out their, and many of them rank well behind their contemporary competitors. But they just want you to give it a chance to see if a Saab is right for you. They realize everyone has their own tastes, and a lot of the…

I approve this discussion :-)

thatsaabguy at the googels.....

Hey Jason, I can't find your email address, can you drop me a line if you get a second? I have an idea that might make us both a few quatloos :)

Pffft, amateurs, I do it in a '66 Saab 96 Monte Carlo 850 - 3 cylinders, 2 strokes, 55 horses, and almost 50 years of smiles :-)

Holy shit, Atlanta, what did you DO?!? You...you broke the Interstate System!

Anyone with a birthday between roughly Thanksgiving and January 3, come join us! We have a lively group!

As the guy who resurrected the Saab Club of North America, and current owner of seven (no, eight? I keep losing count) Saabs, I approve this message. You can join the Saab Club at www.saabclub.com!

DEDII was our keynote speaker at the 2002 Saab Owners Convention in Cincinnati. I remember with great trepidation getting a phone call in a booming voice, asking why the hell Bob Sinclair - BOB SINCLAIR, of all people! - had called him and told him he needed to come to my event. Umm, yessir, every word true. He…

As the proud owner of a 1966 96 Monte Carlo 850 (the top-of-the-line rally-prep variant of this same car), I must say that one in decent shape could easily sell for that much, every day. Standard interiors are a cinch to re-skin, and parts are readily available. Plus, with an engine that only has seven moving parts,…

Not true - I own one of only five or six 1966 96 Monte Carlo 850s in teh US, adn its insured value is $25,000. So, yeah :-)

The picture of the black one was taken at the 2001 Int'l Saab Owners Convention in Turku, Finland. I was standing next to the camera :-) That car has an aluminum Rover V8 under the hood, front-driven through a Porsche transaxle, rear-mounted radiators. It's just SICK.

(whoops)

We were all sad to see Victor go, but he really did try, and while we were hoping that his suit against GM for killing Saab would somehow get to trial, it stings to find out we won't. There are new owners, yes, but they aren't saying much, and we're really none of us sure what the heels going ON over there,…

Clearly, this is relevant to my interests. As the guy who rebirthed the Saab Club of North America single-handedly in 2001 (no bragging, just the truth) and current owner of eight Saabs, I can only speak my opinion on the matter.

I think that all of us, the Saab faithful, realize that Saab is dead...but more like a…

Three cylinders? Hell, I've been driving one for years - two stroke, too!

Cool, but still not a nat20. I had a red one installed in my '89 Saab 900 SPG (which, of course, I can't find a picture of now, but here's a similar install for comparison...) Super easy to do, get a large d20 from Koplow Dice, drill, add dollop of JB Weld, press into place. Never roll a 1 again!
