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.

GM denies Spyker claims in $3B Saab lawsuit

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Reuters reports General Motors has dismissed claims by Spyker outlined in a $3 billion lawsuit. Spyker alleged GM deliberately bankrupted Saab by preventing a deal with Chinese investor Zhejiang Youngman Lotus. GM, meanwhile, filed a response with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan saying that as the former owner of Saab, GM had the legal right to approve the deal with Youngman. But Spyker's lawsuit claimed GM's refusal to approve the deal with Youngman stemmed from the fact that the American automaker didn't want to create a competitor in China.
GM has said the issue stemmed more from the fact that it would stop licensing its technology to Saab or stop building vehicles for the manufacturer in the event it was bought by Youngman. Since Saab built its own platform that didn't use any GM tech, Spyker says that argument is meritless.
The lawsuit has Spyker seeking $3 billion in compensatory damages, though that number could swell with interest, punitive damages and legal fees, as well. Victor Muller, Spyker chief executive, has said the lawsuit is being funded by an anonymous third party. That party will share in any settlement. Youngman has refused to comment on whether or not it's footing the legal bill.

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.

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.
