FS: 1986 9000 Turbo - $750

Selling my nearly rust-free '86 9000 Turbo that needs a bottom end rebuild. It was my daily driver for four years and I've done a lot to it during my ownership.

Details here: http://saabnet.com/tsn/class/9000.html#16081160531jdenn

I'll post some photos in a bit.

Re: Early vs later 99 radiators

I dug a Sonett radiator out of my parts stash that was in better condition than I thought. It's pretty much the same dimensions as an early 99 radiator but with the inlets and outlets in the right places. I'm having it checked out at a radiator shop today. Hopefully it'll be serviceable in my 96.

I traded some parts for it a few years back. Are you interested? It might be in my best interest to just sell this one rather than go through the trouble of adapting it to fit my 96.

Re: Early vs later 99 radiators

Definitely not going to work. How feasible would it be to just have a radiator shop eliminate the 99 inlets/outlets and just solder in the ones from my 96 radiator with a coolant overflow tube on top of the left front tank. See my crude diagram: https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3694/19498185874_2c1c9b...

Re: Early vs later 99 radiators

there are a couple of different 99 radiators with the turbo radiators being multicored and thicker. All the turbo radiators I've seen are the same thickness as the later 99 radiators but have a much finer fin count. The early 99's (up to '75 I believe) had the thick tanks that match the 96 tanks.

Early vs later 99 radiators

Are later 99 radiators thinner than the earlier ones? I have a new Nissens 99 radiator that I want to have the end tanks from my 96 soldered onto (a common Sport & Rally modification) to drop into my 96 but both the tanks themselves and the core are thicker on the 96 radiator. I'm afraid this mi...

Yeah, after all when he was picked up by the police with heroin and a large sum of cash, he was driving an unregistered/uninsured Saab 900!

Inca/Shelby/Ronal center cap emblems

I have a set of four brand new OEM emblems for the Inca/Shelby/Ronal center caps. I bought these new in Sweden in 2007 and no longer have a car for them to go on. They are metal with adhesive backing and will replace your faded/discolored/missing ones. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8064/8223904177_d...

Awesome. The 4-door is my favorite 99 body style.

Re: '72 99E 4-door

What kind of fool would send a car like this to the junkyard? It's a good thing the owner of the yard realizes that it's special and hasn't parted it. Chrome-bumpered 99 4-doors are unicorns, I've never seen one in person and have only seen 1 or 2 pics of them.

Re: Triumph Engine

Not sure but I just yanked that out of the engine in my 71. It has its own cap and is multichambered if I remember correctly. Sort of like an oil swirl tank or seperator. We decided to keep it for making something in the future. The rest of the engine will go to the scrap man. Interesting thing abo...
