Saab 900 limo for sale

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.

Saab 900 Aero prototype restoration continues

Last year I brought Peter W’s work to your attention, work that involves the restoration of a very special Saab 900. Saab made a small number of what I guess you could call Aero prototypes in pearl white paint back in 1984.

When Peter found one for sale in late 2006, he snapped it up and immediately got to work on bringing it back to life.

Why the Saab 900 rocks - part 2 - ergonomics

If the early Saab 900 interiors were about the funk, it has to be said that the driver’s cockpit fascia, the dashboard, was all about the function.
.
At first it seems a little unfamiliar and more than a little strange. Spend some time there, especially with the car in motion, and you come to realise that it was developed by some very clever people.

Why the Saab 900 Rocks, part 1 - Interior

Seeing around 50% of the visitors to this site haven’t owned a Saab 900 and only 18% of the remainder have driven one, I thought it’d be a good idea to have look over it and share what I reckon are the best parts about this legendary automobile.

The interior is my favourite part of any car, especially in the Saab 900, where Saab unleashed the funk like few manufacturers before or since.

The downside of technology?

I know you all probably love your climate control systems. A modern HVAC system removes the all but the extreme elements as a point of concern when you’re driving. But there was something pretty charming about old-school methods at climate control.

I came across one of these old school techniques yesterday whilst looking up Saab 900 information at Wulf’s excellent Saabmedia.net website.

My idea for GM Europe and the Saab 900

There were a lot of great things Saab did over the early years. The unique design of Sixten Sason’s cars, the aircraft links. Safety before it seemed important. And then there’s the whole rally thing. But the car that really embodied everything that Saab came to stand for, the car that piqued everyone’s interest and is still a point of both reference and reverence today is the Saab 900.

Pollhattan Saab - the Saab 900 results

There were a couple of interesting outcomes from the Saab 900 poll today. The main outcome was that 50% of respondents have either never owned or never driven a Saab 900. This shouldn’t be so surprising. The youngest Saab 900s are now 14 years old and the oldest are 29 years old. In that light, it’s a testament to how darn good this car actually was…..

Pollhattan Saab - the Classic 900

I’ve got an idea. A crazy, yet delighfully simple idea. But before I tell you about that idea, I need to get a better understanding of who I’m writing to.
.
I know there’s a lot of old-time Saabers here, but I also know there’s a predominance of modern Saab owners. Some those modern Saab owners may have had a 900 in the past. Some have been in one. And some may never have seen a classic Saab 900 close up. Amazing, but true.
.
So the question for today’s poll is a simple one: Have you ever driven a classic Saab 900?
