I think I will make an aspen police car clone. I picked up that very roof light bar for $20 not to long ago.

 

[mySaab900]

was it like hardly ever driven? Cause I have a 1991 c900 and mine has 265,000 miles on it, that only has 114,000 and it's a '79!!?? Nice shape too, I need to find an upgrade for mine, like an SPG I would love, or any turbo for that matter. I love the old styles like this, with the headlights that basically wrap around the whole front of the car!! Haha, great car man!! Keep us posted!!

I just got home so now I can see the pics. Awesome pick up, man. I have those same seats in my 96.

I have a brand new in factory mustard primer left rear fender for that 5door! It is wall art here at the shop. Let me know if you need it.

 

[Jack Straw]

Looks cool! Apparently the secret to keeping the old motors running is to drive them regularly.

I'd swap those wheels off though, unless you want to shop for metric tires.

 

[dan-the-kid]

Whoa, wicked cool!

Is that an external wastegate I see? They were common place on early-er turbo'ed saabs?

Yup, factory external wg. Audi 5000 also used a factory EWG, and others. The internal wastegate was a big improvement, saving space and reducing complexity for production turbo cars.

I may ask! BTW, hold on to those poly upper strut mounts I ordered, this is what I spent the Koni and spring money on.

 

[aireeca]

I was the chase vehicle on a half-country retrieval run to grab one of those. It was hairy at times. That hot start issue is real and bad.

AAA is your friend.

I have one of those pig-snout grillEs in pretty good shape.

 

[zingZACH]

I can have the dual vented hood? Oh thanks!

In all seriousness, that is an incredible score! I am extremely jealous! It'll be in good hands now... Congrats man, I'm happy for you.

And I'll put some granola in the oven for you. I have found bags of granola in several of my c900's that I have bought lol.

For the Vig? Deal, and very gross.

What I do need, is the propper steering wheel, and the pre 83 style headlight bezels or "hoods" without the lenses. I also emailed a guy locally that may still have some gold vane shelbys.

 

[abdukted1456]

that thing is cool as heck!

 

[SPGreg]

BTW, great thread title! Hope this wasn't asked already...what the hell do werthers have to do with it?

 

[Sedan]

Wow, what a great find!

Joke that C900 drivers wear tweed, smoke pipes and eat werthers.

Over the week, I scored the correct headlight trim from Sports Car Service in DE. I also went Swedish Picking with Jeff Hoffman, he got a door for his Aero, and I picked up a set of redish pink floor mats. I am gonna head back to the guy and get a black rust free hood for the 85 and probably a whole exhaust system.

 

[tucksayre]

Geez it's a clone of my car!!! Great find! There was a '79 5 door in Charlestown WVA on saabcentral. Mine is staying original (guy rebuilt the engine before the tranny went boom, pinion bearing). I might be in the DC area next April with it.

 

[spgeebee88]

that is an awesome car! its too bad they didnt make more of those... best of both worlds
