Want to roll up to the Saab Owners Convention in style? As long as you’re thinking of the 2009 SOC and not this year’s convention, you’re in with a chance. This classic 900 limo needs some work, but it could definitely be fun.
I don’t cover vehicles for sale very often here at TS, but when it’s something quite unusual like this one, I’m happy to make an exception.
For sale, on Ebay and coming out of Pennsylvania, is a classic Saab 900 stretch limo.
It’s no show pony at the moment, but if you’re a collector who doesn’t mind expending a little effort, then this might be worthwhile.
Those central windows look a little questionable and it looks like there’s barely a surface inside, outside, or underneath, that you’d leave untouched. But if it was done right, this could be quite a show piece. Good enough for Scandinavian heads of state, good enough for you!
The car is a 1985 Saab 900 driven by a 16-valve turbocharged engine. The seller says the mileage is accurate and it stands at around 45,000 miles. That young engine isn’t exactly ship shape, though, blowing some smoke on start up.
It’s not for the faint-hearted, but it’s pretty rare and could be a lot of fun if finished properly.
Thanks Wulf!

Labour of Love required and large wallet.
I wonder how many other SAAB limos there are? I have seen an early 9000 limo in London and a 9-5 limo about 300 yards from where I live.
I bet the Rolls Phantom is bigger! For sure the XL model.
I saw this a couple years ago when I purchased some seat belts from the owner. It wasn’t very attractive back then … or now. But with some work, it might turn into something decent.
Note: If you need parts, they stock a decent supply or used parts.
I think I’d just go with a rare 900CD if you can find one. That thing is a bit too long and it’s hardly pretty either!
