Among five Saabs entered in Bilweb Auctions’ final July sale, this largely original 1984 Saab 99 GL stands out through its 99,175-kilometer odometer reading, preserved interior, Swedish ownership history and distinctive “Malin” identity.
A modified 1984 Saab 99 failed to sell at $23,500 and then lost its post-auction bidder. Five weeks later, the same 2.1-liter 16-valve turbo build returned to Bring a Trailer without reserve and sold for $27,000.
Photographer Bo Ulander attended Svenska Saabklubben’s principal 50th anniversary day in Ullånger and created a 279-photo record of the High Coast gathering.
In January 2022, an Acacia Green Saab 96 GL V4 Super with only seven kilometers on its odometer sold for 500,000 SEK. The larger story emerged afterward: the late owner had left almost 3 million SEK to medical research, with myeloma research first in line, and a new 2026 follow-up says the bequest helped finance two PhD candidates.
A 24-years-owned Monte Carlo Yellow Saab 900 SE Turbo Convertible reached $14,000 on Bring a Trailer on June 17 but did not meet reserve. On the same day, a restored 1979 Saab 99 Turbo sold in Sweden for 236,000 SEK. Both cars have genuine collector credentials. The market, however, treated them very differently and the reasons tell you something real about where Saab values sit right now.
Niels Meijer's red Saab 900 Turbo was stolen from a Groningen garage while in for repairs. Before police had even logged the report, a member of the Saab forum had spotted the car at a nearby carpool area. The community delivered where the system had barely started.

The Saab 900 that arrived at SAC Taiwan's Tucheng workshop was a car worth saving - and SAC knew exactly what that meant. Bare metal, rebuilt frames, multi-layer paintwork, mechanical tuning, interior detail. Another benchmark restoration from the team that simply refuses to let these cars disappear.
Bilweb auction of the 1964 Saab 96 Sport ends at $41,789, setting a new 2025 record for a used Saab and proving collector demand for authentic restorations.
Mechanically rebuilt and still wearing its original Sunset Yellow paint, this 1973 Saab Sonett III is up for auction at no reserve — and bidding is still under $4,000 with six days to go. A true survivor from St. Paul that hasn’t left Minnesota since new.
