In my world a viewable ad means something is “available”, please don’t ask.
This is a genuine Saab 900 Turbo commemorative edition, number 132 of 325 coupes ever made (although only 314 have been confirmed). The most collectible Saab 900 out there! The title is clean and the car only had one owner for its entire life.
I purchased it as a parts car but, upon discovering that it drove great, the title was clean, and the paint was not too shabby, I decided I would take it the spa and see if it can live on as an operational vehicle.
I have the condition listed here as "fair" because the body panels are straight and surprisingly free of dents (except for the right front fender which is hella-jacked) but there are a few rust spots that will take some focused work to make right.
This CE is a very fun, fast car to drive, remarkably more sporty feeling than our 1990 900 Turbo.
Here is more info from Wikipedia:
314 Commemorative Edition 900 Turbo 3-door Hatchback Coupés were made for the U.S. market in 1993. All the cars were painted solid black with a tan leather interior and had 5-speed manual transmissions. The horsepower was increased to 185 bhp (138 kW) by outfitting the cars with the "red box" APC controller, a 2.8-bar fuel pressure regulator (base turbo was 2.5 bar), and a distributor with enhanced vacuum advance. The cars rode on the SPG suspension. The interior was further embellished by a walnut dash facia and a leather gear knob and gaiter. The wheels were 15" directionals painted medium-gray metallic units with a polished lip. Each Commemorative Edition was shipped with a small brass plaque indicating its number in the series. The plaques were serialized to indicate its number out of 325. However, only 314 were actually built. In addition, 15 identically equipped cars were shipped to Canada, and were equipped with metric (kilometer) speedometer instruments.
The clutch feels a little weird in this car. It grinds slightly going from 1-2 my guess is that the friction plate is worn and needs to be near fully released to engage. It’s drivable but a touch funky. It will likely need to be dealt with in the next few thousand miles... car feels good otherwise and sounds great. Driving video included.
I took 80 photos and videos of this car, some are attached here. Please copy-paste link for full package including photo of title and Carfax PDF.
