Oregon 99 GL coupe
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 12:09 am
Hey everyone
Just bought my first Saab, a 1979 GL coupe in pretty good shape. Runs & drives well so far!
According to working odometer, has <124,000 miles
Bought this 99 because it seemed too good to pass up. I have always been a fan of unpopular classic European vehicles
While my plan is merely to keep it running & hunt down parts on weekends, I have a feeling it won't be long before I seek to modify the suspension & motor for a bit more fun
Stiffer, lower springs, sway bars, upgraded bushings etc. will be on my list.
As I know virtually nothing about 99s / SAAB aftermarket, I have a lot of learning to do ...
I did autocross my last two Golfs (salem OR & packwood WA). Owned those 7 yrs but time for a new experience.
Economic demotion has kept me from racing for 2 years, thankfully Oregon has no shortage of curvy country/mountain roads to enjoy
If you are in the Willamette Valley let me know, I have lots of learning & junkyard-browsing to do
