SAME OWNER SINCE 1983INDOOR STORED SINCE 1985LESS THAN 55, OOO MILES 100% PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED
I purchased this car with 39, 500 miles & drove it the summers of 1983 - 1985. I am a SAAB factory trained tech, ASE Master Tech Certified and owned & operated The Swedish Solution, Inc. (Saab & Volvo performance specialist in N.E Ohio since 1982). This particular 99 was originally sold in the desert of California and has never seen snow or salt! I purchased this car from the second owner in 1983.
I built the car including;
European headlights & grill, hood louvers to extract heat, turbo Inter-cooling, ] water injection, cylinder head build including Motorsport double valve springs & camshaft, polished head ports, new valves & guides, exhaust valve guides machined oversize to allow for more valve stem expansion, new TRW pistons, rings, rod and crankshaft bearings, turbocharger, SAAB OE steel water pump, timing chain, guides & tensioner. The reciprocating assembly (rods, pistons and crank) were balanced. Obsessively de-burred the outside casting of the block. Transmission overhauled and new clutch disc, pressure plate, throw out bearing and slave cylinder were installed. H & R front and rear sway bars, Koni adjustable shocks front and rear. Saab factory trailer hitch, black urethane paint, final polish with Kleenex! Recaro style front seats, SAAB center console with VDO guages, Kenwood stereo with 2 Kenwood amplifiers ( speakers are needed). European cat-less exhaust, Fitapaldi steering wheel, un-cracked front spoiler, fresh painted Inca wheels and 5 new tires.

1978 SAAB 99 TURBO

CARDINAL RED
This 99 turbo would be easily restored. It does not appear to have ever been in an accident. The body does have average to minor rust. The interior front seats are from a later model SAAB 900. All of the parts to make this car complete are available from the third car (EMS), or included, such as a new front spoiler, oil cooler etc. I believe the car was from Ohio. The odometer reads 152k.
VEHICLE NO. 3
1978 SAAB 99 EMS

CARDINAL RED
This 99 EMS had a 1978 SAAB 99 Turbo engine and transmission installed into it. It has the EMS style wheels. The car was from Oregon. The body and interior are poor with rust and holes in it. However, I do believe the chassis is solid. I also recall the car ran well before I parked it, but cannot guarantee it. This car provides nearly a spare everything for the two other cars!
Vehicle #1 is rock solid, fast, and wonderful to drive. The car is ready to drive anywhere, any distance. Vehicles #2 and #3 do not run and will need to be towed or shipped. I can help you arrange shipping.
I have clear titles to all three cars.
The parts alone are worth thousands. I do not want to split this package up.
LASTLY
I regard honesty and integrity highly.
Your satisfaction is extremely important to me.
Please call (any time) in advance for details and questions.
Everything is available to be seen in advance.
