SAAB's boy racer Q ship of the day. A true driver's car, not a pretender

Estate garage find, low mileage survivor, super clean. In dry storage and not driven since 1992. little used since.

Sterling Silver Metallic, 2 door, 4 speed, 4 wheel disc brakes, 2.0 liter single overhead cam, Bosch

CIS fuel injected K Jetronic, front wheel drive.

"EMS" designates SAAB's sport sedan performance features over their proven standard car such as:

quick ratio rack & pinion steering w/sport leather grip steering wheel, 4 Bilstein gas pressure shocks, stiffer rear springs, tachometer w/clock, aluminum alloy "soccor ball" wheels with center caps, OEMPirelli CN36 Cinturato large section radial tires, factory front air dam/spoiler, special model seat upholstery & color with rear seat folding center arm rest and the EMS badging.

This particular car also has the rare option of a factory sliding sunroof with pop up wind deflector.

Safetycage unibody Swedish steel construction known for it's roll over protection and heavy duty double front A-arm suspension with strong, well located rear axle design.

SAABs of this period design are well known in both European & North American rally & racing circles as competitive & winning cars. Several SCCA Pro Rally & Showroom Stock championshipsawarded.

This sporting car has had an enthusiast's ownership & care. Very clean & detailed interior (new headliner & dash top) with excellent condition "red brick" seat upholstery, carpet & trim panels.

Engine compartment has been cleaned & repainted & shows its original equipment. Suspension & undercarriage also of high detail & cleanliness.

The Sterling Silver Metallic does have some minor understandable nicks & chips showing the age of the car & shows well. It could use a professional buffing to fully renew it's color & luster. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would call it a 7 1/2 at this time. A couple of paint bubbles on left rear 1/4 & back end.

This is a fine, collectable example of a unique car that still gets thumbs up compliments by both casual lookers & knowledgeable enthusiasts.

Starts, steers, runs & stops as it should. Feels tight & positive. You can drive it enthusiastically or docile. A solid,enjoyable car.
