Breaking Story: 120-Car Saab Factory Museum Bankruptcy Sell-Off For Sale

 

I'm still trying to figure out how a BLS ended up in that lot.

This.

 

I was aware of that, I was just surprised that Saab would want that in their museum collection.

 

Well, likely they kept it as an example of what rolled off the line in Trollhattan. That'd be my guess.

 

Beyond that, a little more advance notice in English would have been nice.

 

:frown:

 

The UR and the old race cars are so awesome.

 

would make a pretty sweet bed platform

 

his and hers beds

 

^^I'll take the 8 cylinder 32 valve turbo motor in the lower corner of that picture please.

EDIT: Oops, I stand corrected. That is not the 8-cly in that pic. Looks too different from this shot.
I wonder where this motor is now?

 

I think thats in Finland at the factory, theres supposedly another stash of weird things up there also, lord knows what will go on with those. If you run the descriptions through google translate there are some insanely cool cars there. Theres a c900 bodied 9000, and the joystick controlled 9000, variable compression 9-5. The list goes on and on, the only hope is that this is being done as a formality so that someone can buy the collection as a whole, but I'm not holding terribly high hopes for that one.

Also, in case anyone is interested, it sounds like it should cost in the neighborhood of $4k to get one of these shipped to the US, thats after towing to the port and container fees, etc.

I want the 9X... wish they could have built a production car with this "flavor".

And the c900 hatchback-based convertible design concept... So uglycool.

 

I want a roadster sonett, and the EV-1 so i can relive back to the future part II

 

I'm hoping someone buys the whole collection and keeps it together. I suppose that is unlikely, though.

[insert "you'll get a better price by listing on SaabNet" comment here]

 

I'm hoping someone buys the whole collection and keeps it together. I suppose that is unlikely, though.

the fact the lawyers/liquidators didn't so much as bother with little things like, you know, advertising, or producing an english-version brochure, spells doom for this collection as a whole.

the pool of buyers is so small. fuckin idiots.

 

True dat. At least use effing Ebay.

At least it made Bring a Trailer: Breaking Story: 120-Car Saab Factory Museum Bankruptcy Sell-Off For Sale

 

280hp 4wd Saab 9000. That sounds oddly appealing to me.

 

so sad. i will be buying aparts car for my self soon

 

The 900 Safari and 99 Kombi look awesome. Never knew they made anything like that.

 

PaulH, I think the compound should at least acquire one of those oddities.

 

I'm a little surprised this has not come up as an option.

If I had a gazillion dollars and some storage space, I'd be all over the 99... wagon... thing? And the 90. The 90 was terribly underloved, I think.

 

Cars I want:

1992 9000 CS 4WD 280hp 2.3!!
1992 9000 CS EcoSport 17" Super Aeros!!
Any of the classic race cars, so awesome.
Saab 9000 Flat Bed
Saab Car Carrier Trailer

 

I want:

The museum's display (and I am assuming unused) B202
White Sonett I
Black/red 93F
Aero X
9-X

 

The 5cyl 9-5:

I think it's interesting that everyone has their own "wants". Call me crazy, but I've always dug the Nova black c900 convertible with the mid-century modern accents in the collection--so offbeat.

 

Okay so there is a 1972 Saab 99 Coupe with this description:

99a långnos, extended crash structure ( had V8 ) Requires major revision, lacks some interior.

The 5 cyl 9-5 is apparently fully functional!

 

What about the V8 9-5, is that in there?


Also what about the 9000 convertible, is that in Finland too? How about the 9000 coupe?



My official want list:
-James Bond c900
-EV-1
-Ecosport prototype (only want it for the wheels, fuck you saabeh)
-9X Concept
-9-X Air Biohybrid

 

What about the V8 9-5, is that in there?

Also what about the 9000 convertible, is that in Finland too? How about the 9000 coupe?

Yeah the PDF wasn't loading for me before. I've just now seen the list.

Wait, no NG9-5 Sportcombi?

 

I'd say theres a very strong chance that those are being crushed, if they haven't been already, sadly.
