Jon Williams gets a 72 SAAB 99E

[Jon1]

It's all your guy's fault....now I have a 99.

Looks pretty straight nice score

[sjones]

Thank you for saving a 4 dr!

[Geoff]

That one looks pretty decent. Did I see it when I was there? I probably didn't look it over if I did. How's the body on the underside? Most of those cars were pretty sketchy underneath. What's the plan with it?

[Jon1]

Geoff, I just picked it up yesterday. It is not from the field in Argyle. I haven't had it on the lift yet. The plan is to get it cleaned up and see what it needs.

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAH


no I am really not laughing hard or much at all. But inside I recognize the virus has spread. Nice score on the 4 door. Good luck finding parts.

That's great! I really like that early blue color. Does it have the mighty triumph motor?

That one should be clear of the triumph engine. it has the later bumpers and I am just guessing.

[DeLorean]

ooh, a 4 door. Interesting choice. Does it have any odd features like Power steering or an automatic? Air conditioning?

So what is it? GL GLE E? is it the 1.85 or has someone put a Saab motor in it? D-jet?

[Jordan]

Looks like the same color my car was. Middle Blue i think it's called.

72 was first year of impact bumpers and last year of the 1.85... unless someone swapped in a B-motor, which is fairly likely...

[Crazyswede]

was this one free too?

[Jon1]

Free? 6-1/2 hours of my time, with good company, and 3/4 of a tank of gas, but no money changed hands.
The hood was tied down because there were no bolts holding it to the car. I haven't looked to see what engine is in it, yet. The clutch was in the process of being changed....

Perhaps I can come down tonight and have a look.
