More than 240 SaabPlanet readers weighed in on the question of pure Saab design. Their answers point to one conclusion: Saab design was never only about shape. It was about engineering honesty, usefulness, safety, aerodynamics, and a refusal to imitate the obvious.
Jay Leno and Donald Osborne put three attainable classics under the spotlight: a 1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A, a 1969 MGB Roadster, and a 1991 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible. The Saab was not Jay’s predicted winner, but the market numbers told a different story.
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.
What began as a routine visit to prepare a Saab 9-3 SportCombi for delivery turned into a rare look inside Taiwan’s surviving Saab support network. At Neihu Chang Lian, within the wider Saab structure shaped by longtime importer Shang Fu, the video captures far more than old cars under a roof. A road-ready 1976 Saab 99, a classic 900 explained by men who worked on them when they were new, and workshop chief Hong Guo-Cheng’s four-decade presence all show how Saab’s history in Taiwan was not simply preserved - it remained operational.

J&K Saabwerx, a small specialist operation based in Henderson, Nevada, has developed a remote locking kit designed specifically for Classic Saab 900 models.

The first public installation was documented by Bruce from the BWORX YouTube channel.
A 1994 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible in Talladega Red is live on Bring a Trailer with no reserve, currently sitting at $5,200 with the auction closing shortly. One of the last Classic 900s built, this Kansas-based car has spent most of its life in Colorado, carries original paint with no rust, a recently replaced soft top, and an interior that holds up well against its age. The automatic transaxle will limit the ceiling, but at current bidding it is priced well below where comparable examples have been closing.
An in-depth analysis of Car and Driver’s 1993 test of the 1994 Saab 900SE V6 (aka Saab 900ng), examining how Saab preserved its engineering identity during the first full model program under GM ownership.
