This car is a true survivor car and in very good, all original condition. The body has just one small area of surface rust above the front left wheel well (pictured), the convertible top has one small tear due to the hinge while the top was being put up/down (also pictured) but it's a surface tear and does not leak into the vehicle and those are the only flaws I see. The interior is original and pretty flawless. No cracks or tears anywhere. Structurally, this car is very solid and in fantastic shape for it's age. It will also come with all the original manuals in the original Saab pouch and the fog light covers will also be included. My history with this car: I purchased it about five years ago from the second owner, then I proceeded to drive it as often as I could. The only real thing I did was replace the muffler, added the sheepskin seat covers and I put in a brand new battery about a week ago. It was in near perfect working order when I got it but with how often I was driving it, it soon started to show it's age. I am not a mechanic, nor do I attempt to be, so the little things that started going wrong piled up which is now the reason I am letting it go to someone that wants to restore it to the gem that it can be. Following is a list of the mechanical issues that I know of: -The muffler and tailpipe were replaced about two years ago, about a year later the pipe just in front of the muffler got a hole so it's loud -the top/middle brake light works but the two bottom ones do not -power steering does not work -brakes need work -odd sound in a front wheel -tires need to be replaced -radio works but the cassette player does not -heated seats don't work -a good, solid tune up would help, too -it came to me with a brand new car cover but since I always kept it in a garage I rarely used it. I unfolded it recently only to find that a mouse seems to have chewed a few small holes in it. It can still be used to keep dust off but not for outdoor use. Again, this is an amazing, solid, car that can be made amazing again with a little effort. I had wanted one of these for a long time so when this popped up for sale, right near my house I jumped at the chance, now I'm letting it go to someone else that has the same fondness for these cool cars, so I can move onto another classic. |

Grainy leaked images show stillborn Castriota-designed Saab 9-3
Mon, 04 Feb 2013The Saab faithful are going to be playing the "what if" game for years to come. It's one of the burdens of being a fan of a dead brand. A fresh batch of grainy 9-3 Phoenix images have made their way online, alleged shots of a design proposal penned by none other than Jason Castriota. The five-door looks to feature an honest liftback, though SaabsUnited.com says this particular vehicle was drawn up as part of a business plan in early 2011. As such, Castriota apparently told the site the final product was to look much more athletic than what we see here. While the low-resolution images make it difficult to tell much about the design, we certainly appreciate the familiar roofline, full band taillamps and the contrasting rear spoiler reminiscent of the old Saab 99 and 900 ducktails.
Unfortunately, we know all too well why this creation never saw the light of day. Would-be savior Victor Muller couldn't quite pull Saab out of its nosedive, and the company fell into bankruptcy before the 9-3 Phoenix could get off the ground. There's talk of the Phoenix platform and Saab brand having new life in other markets as EVs and even as gas cars, but the model seen here will likely never see production - let alone North American showrooms.

Saab to hire 200 engineers, might build gas cars with Mahindra
Thu, 14 Jun 2012The brand formerly known as Saab is still intent on teaching The Little Engine That Could a few ticks about persistence. We say "formerly known" because it turns out that National Electric Vehicle Swedent (NEVS), the Sino-Japanese investment consortium that just bought the majority of Saab's assets, minus Saab Automobile Parts AB, may not actually own the rights to the Saab brand name. According to a report in Di.se via Saabs United, NEVS will need to negotiate with Scania and the Swedish aerospace and defense group, Saab AB, for the right to name its forthcoming electric car the Saab 9-3.
NEVS is hiring 200 engineers now to work on its electric car program, and reports are that it will hire more as it gets closer to the 2014 launch. It will be based on the current (read: ancient) 9-3, and we hope NEVS is succeeds in getting the naming rights, because the NEVS 9-3 just doesn't have the same ring. NEVS will likely target China as the model's main market.
However, it's rumors of their second negotiating ploy that we're really rooting for: to work with Mahinda & Mahindra, the Indian company once in the running for Saab's assets, develop a petrol-powered 9-3 on the next-generation Phoenix platform, based on Jason Castriota's design.
NEVS' reorganization plan approved after all?
Fri, 29 Aug 2014What a difference a day makes. Thursday, we reported that current Saab parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden had its application for creditor protection denied by the Swedish court for being "vague and completely undocumented." But NEVS was back in court on Friday, and this time the application was granted. However, the story continued to get weirder as defense contractor Saab AB allegedly revoked NEVS' rights to use the Saab name.
NEVS did put out a brief press release confirming the court decision saying: "The District court of Vänersborg, Sweden, today August 29 approved the application for reorganization from National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB." The company allegedly has over 90 creditors, and according to Reuters, it owes them roughly 400 million Swedish krona ($57.56 million). The business says that it is in negotiations with two, unnamed companies to get additional funding.
Also, according to Reuters, Saab AB, best known for making fighter planes, has revoked NEVS' rights to the Saab brand name because the company's application for creditor protection gave the defense contractor that right. When NEVS bought Saab, it only acquired the automaker's physical assets, and had to negotiate for the rights to use the name.
