A black 1980 Saab 99 Turbo built in Arlöv, exported to Britain and later restored in Sweden is heading to Bilweb Auctions with an estimate approaching $30,000. Its chassis number can also be traced to a Saab Club discussion from 2014.
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.
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.
A restored 1979 Saab 99 Turbo in rare Marble White has sold through Bilweb Auctions for 236,000 SEK, around $25,000. The former Saab mechanic’s five-speed restoration closed below estimate, but with reserve reached — confirming strong, detail-driven interest in properly sorted early Turbo cars.
A Finnish-built 1980 Saab 99 Turbo has appeared at Bilweb Auctions in Acacia Green with matching upholstery, 145 hp, 269,240 km, and a current bid well below the auction estimate. It is not a finished show car, but the body appears unusually sound, and that matters more than polish on a 99 Turbo.
