Nice '74 99 EMS on the auction site

[Paddan]

Orange is a great color for these. Wish I had a place for it. Some minor needs described but it looks solid.

Thats like the third nice orange '74 I've seen this year. Too bad I'm at my Saab limit.

I saw that one and really really like it, seems like a good price for how clean it is to me.

I might be able to go look at it if anyone is serious about buying.

[DrewP]

Then why don't you already have it? Orange would look awesome paired with your blue one.

[DougM]

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 Jenkins, the blue 73 is in my garage, and the black 75 I sold to a guy in Washington State, and that three-toned one in the background is John Webber's fabulous 99T 16v.

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 current ebay auction. Last year he posted the 99 for sale on craigslist, and sold it to the current owner in the Cleveland area. More searching and I found the current owners name, phone number, and address.

I recall the previous owner loved his 99's, but wasn't mechanically inclined to get them running.

is there a link? or do I need to give some guy a reach around in a dark alley to get that?

[Crazyswede]

looked like a nice car. One of those ones that looks quite original and unmolested.

[DougM]

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.

This might be the same '74 EMS. It was listed in the Cleveland area:

The CL post has been removed. It seems to have been sold for $1200.
