Saab 900 interior

The body is extremely rust free aside from some rust in the roof rain gutters and a spot under the left rear side window. There is also a rusted spot on the cowl at the rear of the hood by the rain gutter .Surface rust and a ring on the hood. The paint is original and compounded out very nicely. All the electrics work. The dashbord is uncracked! Even the original brakes still work.

It is the nicest 900 dash you will ever see. The original Pirelli tires have very little wear but are dry rotted. 3 out of 4 still hold air! This car is probably the lowest mileage 900 in the world and should be in a museum. The seats and passenger’s side door panel insert are still covered in plastic! This is a very rare car and not many like this have ever been found.

Saab 900 engine bay

It rolls and the brakes work somewhat which is amazing. Nothing has been tampered with on this 900. It will need a headliner and some trim work on the right rear quarter panel upholstery.

No sunroof/manual window/fabric interior car. Lightest of the 900 hatchbacks would make an excellent race car as well if the new owner wants to go that route. Depending on location the new owner could also see about getting a title for the car.

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.
