Fantastic success story from Liam, who bought a Saab 95 Wagon project in the middle of a college class and yelled out “YEEESSSSS!” when he won it at BaT auction.
If you did not know, BaT searches high and low for the best vintage cars for sale online. Good old Saab 95 Wagon is one of those iconic cars that just about everybody claims to love, but few are willing to rescue. This 95 Wagon model, although it is a station wagon, has a sports history. Erik Carlsson drove a Saab 95 wagon to fourth place in the 1961 Monte Carlo rally!
This just in from the buyer of the 1967 SAAB Model 95 V4 Wagon Project purchased via fantastic web service Bring a Trailer Auctions in 2014:

“I was going to send you something on this car’s two-year auction anniversary(9/3) but I’ve obviously missed the boat on that one. Well here goes nothing: As of writing the current lot for BAT’s auction is #3192, 2 and a half years and 3173 auctions later from when my wonderful Saab was listed. It’s been quite the journey for both of us, BAT, I’d say. I was sitting in the back of my environmental ecology class freshman year of college, laptop open, last hour of the auction, bidding on this thing.
Liam and his Saab 95 Wagon
Time kept refreshing with the new bids. Finally, I won and yelled out loud “YEEEEEESSSS!” Wasn’t my proudest moment especially during the middle of a lecture but a memory I hope never leaves me….
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.
