Both of these cars are currently located in Covington, Washington.
I will try and take photos of the grey/silver one sometime soon. The Grey one does not have a title, has 100,000 miles on the odometer, and is rusty and appears to have not been driven for at least a decade.
Photos of the black 99T can be found here: https://picasaweb.google.com/117611549945871881875/99TBlack?authuser=0&feat=directlink
Black 99T is rusty, quite dented throughout its entire body. The rear hatchback door is from a 900. It has 272,000 miles. It had an exploded water pump gear before I bought it, I installed a Davies Craig EWP115 Electric Water Pump with Controller ($350) and replaced the head gasket.
I only drove the Black 99T for 160~180 miles, until I was driving home one night, at a stop sign, a driver in a pickup turned into the front bumper. There is no damage to the body. But it did mangle the front bumper quite a bit, and it sheared the bumper mounting bracket on the driver's side.
I haven't started it for several months, but it did run and drive when I drove it over to Crwchf01's property after the accident. The Steering and the Gearbox felt very solid. The steering felt wonderful, it makes me want to try and find a manual steering rack for my SPG.
Crwchf01 from Saabcentral forums has been letting me store the two 99 Turbos on his large garage-complex-property for the past year and a half. My decision to get rid of these two cars is based on the fact that I haven't made much progress towards resolving their issues, and I don't think I will anytime soon. Crwchf01 offered a place for me to work on my SAABs, but I've found that I don't go out there and work on my SAABs as often as I thought I would. Hopefully the person who buys these two cars manages to save them, but I guess that's up to them.
I'm not done with SAABs, I've just decided that I will focus my attention and funds towards my '90 SPG, instead of several different cars.
I will 100% remove the sunroof deflector. I might also remove the louver.

Re: Two Rusty 1978 99 Turbos $600
killer deal right
Wish I were closer, I need more 99s...
If you can't sell and decide to part out let me know, I want to add to my stockpile

Maybe I'm dumb, but I'm really hoping to find someone who would actually want to take it on as a serious project, rather than just parting them out.
I posted both ads on craigslist, and might try raising the price to prevent people with the intent to just strip them of parts from replying. I got ten replies to my ads in less than 24 hours.

Both have been sold to someone.
Hope they are going to a good home, but the person who bought them showed up in an old... Volvo! o-o
