I am selling my loved rare and precious 1991 900 turbo SE Platana Gray. Only 362 were imported to the US. This isThe most lusted after SAAB Convertible ever made, the 1991 SE or "Special Edition". Learn More about the most desired SAAB 900 convertible here. http://jpowell.tripod.com/saab-900cv/This is a dream car for many SAAB enthusiasts. These are Indeed the most thought after classic convertibles from SAAB. I Purchased this beauty from a dealer in New York about 5 years ago with the intentions of keeping the car for life. I then started doing a full restoration job on everything in the car. I also did some of the most Known and recommended upgrades to enhance the power and the handling of the car. My Goal was to bring the car to near showroom conditions while upgrading the performance and handling to maximize the joy of driving this beauty. Over $20k spent in new and rare parts not including the 100's of hours of labor put into the car. The body recently has been freshly restored and painted by one of the best body shops in NYC, they did an amazing Job after having the car for over 6month. The paint job totaled about 5k. The car now has approx 9K miles that represent the rebuild miles. A new 140 mph European Spec Speedo gauge was installed at the begining stage of the rebuild to document the new life the car has been given. The car originally had 196k miles before the restoration process started. It took me about 5 years to finish the job exactly the way it should be done. I am a diehard SAAB enthusiast and I am very known in the SAAB community. I have 100% feedback on ebay and outside ebay, Just ask around and you will see. I am selling this beauty because I was blessed with an adorable baby girl and after a lot of talk with the wife for over a year I was convinced that It's about time to let go of this beauty instead of having it sitting in a the garage for the next 6 years untill My baby is old enough to ride in it. I really hope this Amazing car will find someone that will enjoy it, appreciate it and treat it with the love it deserves. So let me get to some of the details on the car; I have a very long list of upgrades and very rare parts that went into this car. Here are a few items from that list. 2- New convertible top. 3- New brake calipers, rotors and pads (cross drilled Zimmerman), New hand brake cables. 4- Lowered by Swedish Lejeforse (B&G) springs and Brillstein shocks. 5- 17" Viggen style wheels and P zero 215 40 17 tires. 6- All ball joints replaced and known to wear suspension bushings replaced. 7- New dash. 8- New 140MPH speedometer 9- New speed sensors all 4 wheels. 10- New Hella 550 fog lights with Piaa plasma 5000k bulbs. 11- New Hella H4 European code Head lights with piaa plasma 5000k.

Basically the car is in an excellent show field conditions and drives like a dream. You will love this thing and so is everyone that sees it or rides in it. Now here is a list of some current minor imperfections that do not need replacement and will not need replacement for many years to come. 1- The Convertible top has one small pin hole that had been treated with fabric mender which has been lasting for the last 3 years without any issues. This is a very small hole, it's hard to see and it does not leak in rain or during wash. 2- Passenger side window has a 1/4" scratch. 3- The windshield has wiper marks. It's the original SAAB OEM windshield. 4- The driver seat shows a bit of wear but still looks great. I do have another seat in great conditions that will go with the car to the new owner so it can be bolt it in when the time comes. 5- The wheels have very minor curb rash, that is very hard to see. see photos. 6- The new dash (4 years old now) has 2 very tiny hair line cracks, one 1/4" in the center at the very front where dash meets the windshield (very hard to notice). and the other is about 1/8" at the corner of the left speaker ( also very hard to notice) 7- Seat heaters do not work and honestly I have never seen them work in any Classic 900. 8- For emission test depending on your state or your country, you might have to swap the 2.5" empty cat with a standard 2.5 inch one. Other than these items the saab is in mint conditions..please understand that this is not a brand new car. It is a restored car that is still One of the coolest, most beautiful, most rare thought after saab ever made. Over all I would rate the car @9.85 out of 10, however i would rate it @ 15 out of 10 when it comes to beauty and joy of owning and driving. This is by far the most beautiful 1991 Turbo SE I have ever seen. Sadly I have to let go of this irreplaceable jewel. The car is now fully restored and tuned and ready to go to a new proud owner. The joy of owning and driving this car is almost priceless. I honestly don't want to sell it but have to. The car drives very fast and pulls very strong while getting great gas mileage something that Saabs are known for. Getting on the highway you can easily hit 100 mph and if you have a nice stretch of road you can wow your self with 140MPH . When driving this car or even walking to it expect to get compliments from the most random people. Trust me you will love this car like nothing else. you will get complements from everyone everywhere, from guys on their super bikes, Guys in their super cars or exotics, guys in their real old classics, truck drivers, city bus drivers, police officers, and from every random person walking on the side walk or crossing the street.
