Re: Three '78 99 turbos of various condition: $16.9k

I saw the black one in person sometime around 2003, and just spent an hour looking for some pictures I took of it, but didn't have any luck finding them. It was a thing of beauty, and there's no doubt it's worth what he's asking.

Re: Overheats

Mine stays cool if I'm moving, but if not moving for an extended period of time, the temperature creeps up. New radiator installed in 2002 during the restoration. I could never rely on the fan to kick on, so I wired in an extra switch to turn the fan on whenever I want.

Brently Davis is practically giving away his '79 99GL. He flew me to California for a week in 2006 to help him get the body ready for paint. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5118837119.html http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll167/brentlypd/Saab%2099/26-Doug%20admiring%20his%20work_zpsfgtz0azv.j...

More than likely it's a '77 trans. The 75 model year still had an external slave cylinder, and that trans is missing the square hole where the clutch fork goes through.

Castrol 10W40, and I've never had a transmission failure in 30 years.

Re: Wanted:

The SPG doors I bought from Jim Miller, and anyone who knows Jim would know that none of his cars ever get a chance to rust, or get dirty either. His SPG was involved in a front end collision - a drunk pulled out in front of him - so he salvaged as much as he could from the car. The car he bought so...

Re: Wanted:

If I was restoring a 99, I would prefer a matching door also. I drove 16 hours round trip one day in 2003 to PA to retrieve two EMS doors when I was restoring the black 75EMS I had(it needed a passenger door). There might not be that many 99 doors available anymore, so I just thought I would make th...

Re: Wanted:

I have two doors from a 1988 SPG in black that will bolt up to your 99. I bought them for a '78 Turbo I was restoring, but never used them.

$250

I was so proud of myself for Sherlock Holmsing the information, that I was going to call the guy this weekend. Looks like I was too late.

Re: Nice '74 99 EMS on the auction site

I did some internet snooping and found out more info on the car. I bought a 99T about 8 years ago from S&S in Virginia and was in need of a spare engine. I won an ebay auction soon after from a local guy, and went to his house to get the engine. He had two 99's, one being the orange one in the c...

Re: Nice '74 99 EMS on the auction site

I would love to buy it, but I'm tapped out right now. I cashed in all of my retirements to buy income property, and I just put a $17k roof on my house. My blue one has been on blocks in the garage since Carlisle two years ago, waiting for me to spend more money on it. The orange 74 belongs to Doc Je...
