Description
Selling my 1980 Saab 99, in alabaster yellow. Great driver condition, original paint and very clean body. Always garage kept by me and most recent previous owner ( which accounts for the last 35 years or so) some minor rust starting to pop up. One spot in drivers rear quarter, and both door bottoms (repair panels included with sale) Long list of upgrades, and recent work done. I can absolutely go over everything with anyone interested. There are a few things still needed to be 100% : headlight...
Our Take:
- The 1980 Saab 99 is a delightful piece of Swedish automotive history. Known for its quirky design and forward-thinking engineering, the 99 marked the transition from the 96 to later models like the 900. With its clamshell hood and wrap-around windshield, it was both ahead of its time and distinctly Saab.
- Featuring a manual transmission, this car gives drivers a true connection to the road—a hallmark trait of Saab vehicles from this era. The manual gearbox complements the car’s engineering ethos, focusing on a pure driving experience rather than frills.
- The paint color, alabaster yellow, is a rare and charming factory option that gives this car a unique presence. In today’s sea of neutral-colored vehicles, a vibrant yellow Saab is like a splash of sunshine on a cloudy day—making it a standout at any cars and coffee meetup.
- With a documented ownership history, especially one boasting garage-kept conditions for over three decades, this Saab demonstrates a level of care that’s hard to find. The inclusion of repair panels is a thoughtful touch for any buyer looking to maintain its authenticity while addressing minor rust issues.
