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!

NNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Here's my first run up Maryhill a couple years back, us in our 401hp Saab 9000 Aero. Wheee!!

Hey, it's the XXX Roor Beer Stande in Issaquah, WA! We were just there a couple weekends ago for the annual Swedish Iron Cruise-In, 250 or so Saabs and Volvos from all over the West Coast. This place is frikkin' amazing, and has car shows every weekend: http://www.triplexrootbeer.com/

I know this car well, and yes, it's worth every penny. Simply perfect in almost every way. The cars that went through the Heritage Collection were given better-than-concours restos, and as the car once belonged to Dan Chasins, you can rest assured it was in the hands of someone who appreciated the cars AND ran the…

This breaks my heart. Fucking film students, no love.

Saab fans (and board game nerds) might like my wife's line of shirts:

Hakka 1s are the ultimate, totally worth the asking price.

All y'all's wrong. As a 7-Saab owner, I go with nothing but Nokian Hakkas, period. The things were and always have been designed and engineered with Saabs and Volvos in mind, and are astonishingly good. A bit pricey, yes, but totally worth it. The set on my '96 9000 Aero have nine seasons on them (studded H1s) and…

Back in '91 or '92, I worked as a paint and body lackey at the then-newly-opened Infinity of Dayton, and got to drive all manner of the things between our dealership and the ones in Cincinnati and Columbus. I absolutely adored the first-gen Q45 and the super-comfy seats, but the J never really did it for me. The hood…

Umm, Erik Carlsson. DUH.

This car is real, and actually exists in the Saab Museum in Trollhattan.

One of us, ONE OF US!
