With thanks to Drew B, who dropped me a note to point out this classic early Saab 99 currently for sale on Ebay.
It’s a 1972 Saab 99E with an automatic transmission. It looks like it’s in very good condition, too. It’s finished in Harvest Gold with matching trim and some soccerball rims.
This certainly brings back some memories for me as my first ever Saab was a 1972 Saab 99E, auto, but in red. It gleamed like a fire engine. Unfortunately I don’t have even one decent photo of it, and the crappy ones I have got aren’t digital.
Anyway…..
Anyone interested in a classic Saab 99 in what appears to be pretty decent condition should check out the sale and see how it goes. As I write this it has just over 9 hours to go and there’s been 24 bids. The current price is a shade over $3500.

That truly looks like a nice classic ride. I wish I had a garage or barn where I could start collecting full size Saabs. For now it’s 1/43’s for me, but maybe in the future, fly down to Florida and drive it back up to New-England, where it belongs, right. I love the color too.

24 hits, huh? $3,500 for a ‘72 99 albeit in apparent mint condition? I know who talk to when I sell my convertible on Ebay

Man, what a beauty! How odd to find one of these in my state (Florida), where vintage Saabs are extremely rare. If only I had the money and a place to park it.

Swade: How much sleep do you get? I’m judging by your posts that you get at least 4 hrs per night. How wasteful.

I think there are too many hills where I live for a auto-box 99.

Not that I spoke to the seller, Gunnar, but the post didn’t help. The price didn’t move again and it sold at $3550.

Why can’t this crap ever come up for sale near where I live?
