DiVitto Desperately Looking for Orange Saab 99

Orange Saab 99 EMS

Probably many of you have fond memories of the first car they had or bought from their own funds. Then, mostly that car changes hands after a few years, so we wonder if it is still being driven and in what condition. Some of us are thinking about how nice it would be to be the owner of our first car again after 20 or 30 years.

We noticed one such case when the son bought a classic Saab 96 car at auction, not knowing that the same car was once owned by his parents a long time ago. This was really a big coincidence and it is unlikely that this will happen spontaneously, unless you are specifically looking for your former car.

Hello. My name is DiVitto Kelly and I’ve owned two Saabs in my lifetime. In fact, the first car I ever owned was an orange Saab 99 Automatic. I loved that car, drove it for years before it started falling apart. I would love to find that car again. If you know anyone who has one for sale, I would be thrilled to purchase it. My phone number is (954) 649-8053 or email divittowrites@gmail.com. I live in South Florida, but am willing to travel to buy it.Take care.
DiVitto
PS: I’m a writer and wrote a short story about my treasured Saab 99. I’d love to publish somehow on this site. Thanks!

DiVitto is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, and currently resides near the ocean in South Florida. He’s published multiple novels and short stories and was the editor for the Seminole Tribe of Florida newspaper. He has a master’s degree in library science, is a certified diver and teaches papier mache art. He also plays bass guitar and twice performed at CBGB in NYC where he managed to break a string on both occasions.

We hope that Mr. DiVitto will find his favorite Saab 99, and that he will write a short story in which Saab will also have his role, just as one Saab has a notable role in the book “A Man Called Ove” by Swedish author Fredrik Backman.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
