Tom says...
“This is a rare, true Swedish car that just recently arrived from Sweden. The
odometer is still in kilometers and the temperature in celsius. It has suicide
doors and is in great shape. It is already D.O.T. approved and ready to drive
on the highways. I brought this back to the States with my second SAABO. My good
friend from Sweden Moose Elkhorn found it and decided it was too nice to pass
up. So he called me and I bought it and got a larger container to return to the
States with the SAABO! It had been restored in Sweden some time ago. The paint
is good but not show quality. There is no rust any where I can see or find. The
car runs real good and feels very solid. My sons. Luke and Nate, drove this car
to the SAAB Owners Convention in 2002 in Ohio with the aid of Mike Adams, son
of Marty and Annette Adams of Meyer Saab here in Iowa. This car is rich in history
and well worth a closer look. Ya the price is high (and firm) but finding another
one for less with this much work done to it is tough and besides....how many
old true Swedish Saabs are ever brought into the States??”
*Update*
We have some good news and some bad news. The
bad news is that we sold the 93 and it is no longer available. But the good
news is that we managed to sell the car to Jay Leno of all people! Jay
is a car enthusiast and has nearly every imaginable car, truck, or bike a man
could ever dream of. From old steam powered engines to the newest hot rod Leno
has just about everything, but now with his new...old SAAB Leno really does
have it all! Welcome to the SAAB family Jay, and we will see you at the next SAAB
Owners Convention!!
