Man, why would you buy a saab turbo! Twice the price, louder, slower breaking, slower acceleration, maybe slightly better fuel economy. There is some saab nut down my road with a 900, didn't even think it was a carb turbo car competitor back in the day.

Not a bad start for a project!

A Loaded '79 Mustang Cobra was about $9,000 and was much better than both, but C&D probably hadn't tested one, yet.

It must have been an ABBA thing that people would pay 2X for a Saab for the Swedish quirkiness

I hope some worthy soul picks up this gem in the rough and does the right thing, and brings it back to it's former glory. We could only hope. Even though I don't need another car, I'd gladly make an exception with this one.

I would, but it's 1141 to get to you. And, I want the car!
I've got no space for the car, but I would loved a handful of the parts!

Hmm

(Next morning)

"I could've sworn there was a set of those polycast finned wheels on here???"

"Err..... Nope?"

"Well, how did we get it on the trailer if there's no wheels on it?"

"Umm..... maybe they crumbled and blew away while driving? Yeah, that's it!"
