In 1988, Saab brought dealers from the U.S. to Sweden for a special presentation. Each dealer was then sent back with a black limited edition convertible with the "SPG" type body moldings and a small badge glued to the glove box door. There were a total of 288 of these rare cars shipped and by now I would imagine the number still on the road is far less. When I bought this car the glove box door had been removed and the PO said there wasn't one when he purchased it. That being the case I have not listed it as a true Springtime In Sweden edition however the badge in the trunk (photo included) indicates that this vehicle was shipped from the factory with black exterior and Buffalo Gray interior which is a good indicator that it probably is so you can draw your own conclusion. This is a beautiful car that runs and drives well.
The PO had let it sit for several years with just a tarp over it and the interior was covered in mold and mildew so I removed it for cleaning and still have not put it back in. All pieces are included. He had parked it because he couldn't get it started. After running some diagnostics, I replaced the ignition switch and it cranked right up.
The bad: needs a battery, a new top, tires, springs seem to have sagged, carpet, power antennae is broken, driver's seat is worn, passenger seat needs restitching, slight dent in driver's door and will only open from inside, paint is thin in a few areas, front air dam is loose and could use some brake pads. The top does not go up on it's own. Original Clarion AM/FM Cassette and Equalizer comes and goes of it's own will.
The good: No rust in any of the usual places. The ONLY rust I can find is minimal surface rust on the floor boards. I have included photos of the inner door frames. It has new muffler and exhaust pipe. All windows and lights work (new fog lights need connecting). All glass is good. Rare 3 spoke steering wheel. Clutch and transmission is strong. No squeals in power steering. I am not an expert with turbos but this car is FAST and smooth! No cracks in any of the light lenses. I have a clear title. It passed NC inspection last year but I do not have the funds currently for tires and a top.

Spyker to appeal dismissal of Saab lawsuit against GM
Fri, 21 Jun 2013It seems as if Spyker CEO Victor Muller has made a decision on whether or not to pursue a legal battle between his company and General Motors. Spyker has announced it will appeal a US District Court decision to throw out the company's lawsuit against GM. As you may recall, on June 10 Judge Gershwin Drain ruled tht GM had a right to approve or disapprove Spyker's sale of Saab to Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile. Spyker sued GM for some $3 billion, claiming that the American automaker had forced Saab into bankruptcy by stopping Spyker from transferring intellectual property to its Chinese partner.
Spyker has said only that it plans to appeal the decision. Until now, the company has been silent about the ruling. GM, meanwhile, has said it is pleased with the original outcome. You can read the quick Spyker press release below for more information.
Saab's never-was 9-3 gets a few better looks
Sat, 23 Mar 2013The recent glimpses we've been getting of the never-was Saab 9-3 Phoenix must be like rubbing salt on the wounds of all the Saab fans out there. If that's the case, diehard Saab enthusiasts might want to look away from this. SaabWorld has uncovered a handful of shots of what was to be the next-generation 9-3 hatchback, and boy does it look sharp.
Revealing a clearer look at what we previously saw in grainy images or as a full-scale model, these new pictures show what Jason Castriota had in mind for the new car. The front end is obviously inspired by Saab's Phoenix Concept, while the rear of the car pays homage to the Saab 900 hatchback.
We like the overall look. Let us know what you think in the Comments.
GM recalls over 230,000 more Trailblazer-family SUVs over door electronics
Sun, 16 Jun 2013Back in August, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall on the General Motors GMT360 SUVs (Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X) ranging from the 2005 to 2007 model years and the 2006 GMT370 SUVs (Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL) due to potential fires associated with the driver's door module. Initially limited to 250,000 units sold or registered in 20 Snow Belt states (and the District of Columbia), the recall has now been expanded to include an additional 193,000 of these SUVs in the US and, according to The Detroit News, 40,000 more sold outside the US, including Canada and Mexico.
Like the original recall, the issue is still a faulty driver's door module that can short out, which could lead to a fire. The Detroit News is reporting that, out of the 443,000 units being recalled, GM says that there were 58 fires that caused 11 minor injuries, and the expanded recall accounted for six fires and one injury. Despite the lower number of fires, the recall notice recommends that owners park their vehicles until the recall repairs has been performed.
On recalled units with functional modules, the repair consists of a protective coating being applied to the module, while vehicles with modules that are not working properly will have the driver's door module replaced. The official recall notice is posted below, and it includes contact information for customers of all five brands.
