I'll be updating this page frequently this winter as I try to make this car right again. This 1988 Saab 900 Turbo 3-door 5-speed was purchased on 10 December 2003 as a winter beater to keep the Infiniti and SVT Contour off the salty, nasty Massachusetts roads. Thanks to the previous owner for keeping the essential components running properly for the last 15 years.
I have some plans for this car over the coming months, but most involve getting everything in working order, including the sunroof and interior pieces. There are a lot of little things to resolve, but I am definitely up to the task! The car runs and handles great and the turbo is a lot of fun. After briefly owning a base 900 before buying the Infiniti, this 5-speed turbo is a nice improvement.
The following photos were taken on the day of purchase.

- I had to mod this photo on Photoshop, but it gives a sense of the classic 900 "Turtle" shape. |

- Soon to be shod with beefy snow tires... |
