Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This is a beautiful original 121k car, great paint, etc. But it was overheated, and the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Great fixer!!"

Here's a nice project car. Only 121k miles, desirable 2 door sport coupe hatchback with sporty 5 speed manual transmission, and sunroof. In very good overall cosmetic condition, as you can see from the photos. Was a sweet driver, until a radiator hose blew out when I was on the freeway, i was cruising along at 70 in the fast lane with moderate traffic and I look down and see the temp guage is pegged hot and the red triangle warning light is on. So I pull over at the next offramp and kill the engine. Not in time to save warping some valves, compression is low in the front 3 cyls but ok on #4.

Work that had been done recently included a new windshield ($300) rebuilt shift linkage (work done by Tor's Saab) clutch, brakes. It passed smog easily. The AC blows cold. Turbo was strong and it did not smoke. The paint is very good original, the car was garaged most of it's life and did not sit in the sun and get faded. For these photos, I just washed the car. It was not rubbed out or waxed. If you waxed it it would look even better. Remember, a cheap paint job is at least $800. Swap your good engine from your rusted or damaged body into this beautiful car! The alloy wheels are 15" Saab from a 2002 car.

The interior leather is very good. There is a set of newer floor mats, but I took them out for the photos so you can see the original undercarpet and scuff pads on the floor are almost like new. The drivers seat is a little worn on the left bolster, but there is black taffia repair tape over that area, check the photos. Otherwise the seat leather is very nice. Sunroof works fine. AC blows very cold. New heater hoses installed by Tor's Saab. Rear Saab emblem is covered with Red Hot Chilli Pepper sticker (that is the name of a popular band, this car has been aptly nick-named "The Chilli Pepper"). Also has a RHCP sticker on the circular gas tank filler door.

What it needs:

1. Head job minimum, but more probably, swap in a good used engine.

2. Drivers seat back release lever (which allows easier access to rear seats on drivers side) does not work. (Pass side does work fine)

3. Front tires are worn, rears are OK. Michelin 195 60 R15's.

4. Pass side fog light is missing.

If you are in California, could possibly ship inexpensively on my car trailer to you if you are between San Jose and San Diego. Call Bruce for more info 8o5 55o 2151.

Saab 900 SPG is the latest Petrolicious love story

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

The latest video from the crew at Petrolicious covers one funky Swede - a 1989 Saab 900 SPG. Produced from 1978 to 1998, the 900 enjoyed a long history, and thanks to its iconic look, it's quickly becoming a modern classic for the off-kilter car enthusiast. The SPG, short for Special Performance Group, makes this a particularly rare find, with owner Jordan Melville saying, "I didn't even realize what I had at the time."
Melville gives a rundown of his life with the 900 and his passion for Saab overall, even reflecting on that dark day that saw the Swedish brand closed its doors. As always, the videography is excellent and the story is intriguing in this latest video from Petrolicious. You can view the entire video down below.

NEVS to build new Saab models in China's Qingdao

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

National Electric Vehicle Sweden has officially signed a deal with Qingdao Qingbo Investment Company that will see the NEVS build EVs in Qingdao, China. The move is the first step on the road toward eventually selling vehicles in China. Reuters reports that the Chinese company has agreed to invest $307.33 million, after which point Qingdao Qingbo will receive 22 percent of the NEVS shares. Currently, there's no word on exactly when the funds and shares will change hands, but the Swedish automaker has previously said it fully intends to launch its first EV by early 2014.
NEVS has also made waves about potentially building a version of the old Saab 9-3 with a traditional internal combustion driveline. Currently, the manufacturer says it plans to ship the vehicles it builds in Sweden to the Qingdao port and distribute them to the rest of China from there. Later down the line, a manufacturing facility in Qingdao will supply the country with Chinese-built Saab models.

New owners still struggling to secure rights to use Saab name

Wed, 27 Jun 2012

Not to state the obvious, but if you're going to buy an automaker, it's probably advisable to secure rights to use the name.
That's what the new owners of Saab are trying to work out after buying the iconic Swedish automaker earlier this month, Automotive News reports.
National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), the Chinese-Japanese conglomerate, acquired the company's physical assets, including its factory in Trollhättan, but didn't get rights to use the Saab name and logo. Truckmaker Scania and defense company Saab AB maintain the name and logo rights, and will need to sign off on NEVS using it, according to the publication. The parties are in discussions.
