1976 Saab 99 Ems U.s. Version Not 850 900 9000 on 2040-cars
Clementon, New Jersey, United States
|
This is a U.S. version 1976 Saab 99 ems. This must be one of the cleanest, most rust free, original, and low mile 99 ems' survining. I am only the second registered owner of the vehicle. The prior TX owner purchased the car with approximately 62,000 miles and put the additional 929 miles on the odometer. The prior TX owner stated the car ran fine when he bought it almost 8 years ago, but that it needed brake and AC work. The prior TX owner did not have time to attend to the car so it primarily sat in his garage. I have confirmed in the approximate two years of ownership that the car does need its brake master cylinder replaced or rebuilt. I have not diagnosed or attempt to repair the AC, but all the components such as the compressor and controls appear to be present. Since the car sat for some time, I have done extensive work on the fuel system including dropping and relining the fuel tank, replacing the fuel pump, fuel accumulator, most fuel lines, and fuel filter. The car now cranks and starts well but it has a hard time remaining running. I suspect the fuel system requires further tweaking. I am very reluctantly selling this car but I really do not have further time to attend to it and the garage space its occupied while under my ownership will no longer be available. The car was bought my the prior TX owner from the original owner in California. The original CA owner was an older gentlemen and did not use the car much over the years and typically kept it garaged. This car is as original as when it left the showroom in 1976. The interior is in impecable condition with no rips, no stains, and not really even any wear on the seats or carpet. (Please note, the dash has no cracks but material on the right side has started to pull back/shrink and the head liner is drooping although still in nice shape (see pictures).) It has the oringial EMS details such as the gauges, badging, stripes, special front grill, and air dam. The body is very solid, rust free, straight, and clean with no signs of any kind of body work. The paint is original and only slightly dulled as one would expect from nearly a 40 year old car. The paint does have one small blemish in the left rear quarter panel area (see picture). The wheels are the original EMS "soccer ball" type. The bumpers are straight and clean. This car does not have a radio or the plastic housing underneath the middle of the dash to house a radio. I do not believe a radio was ever equiped with this car. In addition, the rear antenna is missing but the wiring is present. The clutch and hydraulics all worked well according to the prior TX owner, however since the car has been sitting for 6 years, it is being sold as is. I am hoping a Saab enthusiast will find this a very worthy car to complete. You will not be disappointed in the original condition of this car. The car comes with a clear PA title and Saab owners manual. The buyer will have to arrange and pay for transport. I'm happy to help assist with arangement where possible. I'm not familiar with overseas shipping so please contact me prior to bidding if you are an overseas bidder. Full payment must be received within 3 days of auction end. A deposit of $1,000 is expected within 24 hours of auction end. I reserve the right to end this auction early should it be sold elsewhere as this car is for sale locally as well. My feedback speaks for itself. Please only bid if you are seriously interested. Do not waste my time or the time of serious bidders. Thank you for your interest and please let me know if you have any questions.

The Saab 9-3 that never was finally shows up
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Looking back on the life and [slow and painful] death of Saab, it's impossible to not stop and think of what might have been with the quirky Swedish automaker. As it turns out, SaabsUnited has decided to shed some light on what the company's future might have looked like, including some images and information that include full-scale mockups of the 9-3 Phoenix, which you see above.
In its waning years, Saab's lead designer Jason Castriota was working feverishly to deliver new products that built on the heritage of the brand while doing so at a lower cost and in a shorter time period than previous models. In the end, though, it sounds like the earliest that we could have seen any of these plans come to fruition was 2014. In addition to hatchback and convertible 9-3 variants, Castriota also created the Sonnett - a sporty-looking 2+2 that never made it past the design study phase.
Regardless of whether you're a diehard fan of the brand or if you were just pulling for the underdog, you'll want to head on over to SaabsUnited to check out a little more of what the future could have held for Saab.
GM recalls over 230,000 more Trailblazer-family SUVs over door electronics
Sun, 16 Jun 2013Back in August, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall on the General Motors GMT360 SUVs (Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X) ranging from the 2005 to 2007 model years and the 2006 GMT370 SUVs (Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL) due to potential fires associated with the driver's door module. Initially limited to 250,000 units sold or registered in 20 Snow Belt states (and the District of Columbia), the recall has now been expanded to include an additional 193,000 of these SUVs in the US and, according to The Detroit News, 40,000 more sold outside the US, including Canada and Mexico.
Like the original recall, the issue is still a faulty driver's door module that can short out, which could lead to a fire. The Detroit News is reporting that, out of the 443,000 units being recalled, GM says that there were 58 fires that caused 11 minor injuries, and the expanded recall accounted for six fires and one injury. Despite the lower number of fires, the recall notice recommends that owners park their vehicles until the recall repairs has been performed.
On recalled units with functional modules, the repair consists of a protective coating being applied to the module, while vehicles with modules that are not working properly will have the driver's door module replaced. The official recall notice is posted below, and it includes contact information for customers of all five brands.
NEVS announces 200 layoffs as it says Saab restart will 'take time'
Fri, 26 Sep 2014For a fleeting moment a few weeks ago, the news from Saab-owner National Electric Vehicle Sweden appeared almost positive. The company had its reorganization plan approved (a day after it was denied), and the automaker was actually showing a real, running vehicle, albeit one with a top speed of 75 miles per hour. But those tiny crumbs of potential goodness have been swept away because NEVS has announced layoffs of as many as 200 factory employees in September "due to lack of work."
Workers probably shouldn't get too eager to return to the factory either, because company's "decision to re-start production will be further delayed" by an unspecified amount of time, NEVS says in a press release. To begin assembling cars again, the company needs to find long-term funding and a new majority owner. Those seem like two very steep hurdles for the embattled automaker to clear.
Despite not producing cars since May, NEVS still claims it's negotiating with a new owner, possibly Mahindra, but according to Reuters, the Swedish company owes about 400 million kronor ($56 million) to creditors. According to its layoff announcement, getting rid of these workers is one step in the business' reorganization plan to be presented on October 8. Scroll down to read its full release.
