Headlight wipers and washers, heated sideview mirrors, front and

decided to go topless for 1995 for its new generation platform. It
has had the same owner since 2017. Built at the Valmet Automotive
Factory in Finland in May 1994, this example is finished in Imola
Red (code 240) and the paint and trim are in over decent order. The
bodywork is straight and solid with the body-colored bumper fitting
tightly to the body. The engine bay is in satisfactory shape while
the battery dates to December 2019. This Saab rolls on older
Goodyear Eagle GT radials, size 205/50R16 at every corner that are
showing their age. Each tire is mounted on a factory alloy wheel.
The car?s wheels and tires are all in good, original order. A 2.0L
turbocharged DOHC, 16-valve four-cylinder engine (code B204L) is
under the hood with a Garrett T25 turbocharger. The motor is mated
to a five-speed manual transmission (code F25). Driver convenience
features included automatic climate control, power assisted
rack-and-pinion steering, cruise control, power assisted four-wheel
disc brakes, power and heated front bucket seats and a digital
infotainment display. Safety equipment includes a driver?s side
airbag and anti-lock brakes. Inside, the Charcoal leather interior
is in overall satisfactory shape. The front buckets show wear,
particularly on the driver?s seat; a testament to how much this car
has been enjoyed over the years. The black carpet is in good
condition, and a three-spoke steering wheel houses the driver?s
airbag. The instrument panel, with its burled accent trim for
warmth and the inner door liners are all in good order. A/C blower
works but not blowing cold. A console-mounted shift lever and a
factory AM/FM stereo with a cassette deck completes the interior.
The second or ?new? generation Saab 900 (also referred to as the
GM900 or NG900 among enthusiasts) was built on GM's GM2900 platform
as a replacement for the ?classic? first-generation Saab 900. This
all-new 900 was produced in 1994 through 1998 model years. Variants
included 900i (four-cylinder, non-turbo), S (four-cylinder,
non-turbo in the USA; sometimes turbo in other markets) and SE
(four-cylinder turbo or V-6) models in three-door, five-door and
convertible body styles. For 1997 and 1998 only, there was also a
Saab 900 Talladega, after a record-breaking endurance test in 1996,
on the Talladega Superspeedway. Trim levels in ?S? and ?SE? models
varied greatly in the models although in general SE models included
Automatic Climate Control (ACC), leather interiors, wood-trimmed
dashboards and 16" wheels. The top on the 900 works manually only.
Depending on market, the NG900 was available with a choice of 2.0L
or 2.3L Saab 16-valve DOHC engines (Saab engine codes B204 and
B234) in naturally aspirated or turbocharged form (2.0 L only).
Engine management for the turbos was by Saab Trionic 5 with Direct
Ignition (SDI) and Automatic Performance Control (APC), and for
non-turbos by Bosch Motronic fuel injection. A distributor-operated
ignition system was provided for naturally aspirated engines in
some markets. In contrast to the ?classic? Saab 900 with its
longitudinally mounted engine and front-hinged hood (bonnet), the
NG900 had a more-common transversely mounted engine with
rear-hinged hood (bonnet). The convertible variant was introduced
in 1995 (1994 is a continuation of the C900 line). Convertibles
were produced at the Valmet plant in Finland. Convertibles were
available in both ?S? and ?SE? trim levels. Convertible competition
to this Saab in 1995 included Chevrolet?s Cavalier, Ford?s Mustang,
Pontiac?s Sunfire and Toyota?s Celica. If you?re looking for a car
to refurbish then give to one of your children as their first car,
this Saab could be that car. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars to
