I have a 1978 Saab 99 Turbo that I would like to sell for parts.
There is something really wrong with the transmission - it won't shift
into fourth when it's stopped, and it's really hard to shift into any
of the other gears when you get it moving.  The clutch seems to be
disengaging properly, so I assume it's something inside the
transmission.  And, right now, it refuses to start, but I think it's
just that the battery is dead because it's been sitting for about a
month.

Here's the plusses:

	+ I recently replaced the cylinder head with a rebuilt one,
	  and the engine was rebuilt a year or two ago (according to
	  the person that sold it to me).  In any case, the engine
	  seems really strong.

	+ The interior is in great shape

	+ I also have a few boxes of other spare parts, including two
	  snow tires on steel rims.

	+ Manual Sunroof, power outside mirrors, four speed,
	  2.0 liter Turbo...

Here's the minuses (aside from the ones mentioned above):

	- It currently has a non-turbo radiator installed, but I
	  bought a used Turbo radiator just before it broke, so the
	  correct one will come with the car, but not installed.

	- The body has rust (but little to none on important parts,
	  mostly on fenders and stuff)

	- There is a sizeable dent in the drivers side (hit and run...
	  grrr...)

	- It has a stereo with a tape player, but the tape player is
	  broken (I don't remember exactly what's wrong with it...)

The car is currently at my parent's house in Merrimack, NH.  You (the
buyer) would have to arrange for towing yourself.  I'm asking
$300/b.o. for it.  Either call me (508-752-5567 Wednesdays, or
508-791-0737 evenings), or e-mail me (e-mail preferred) if you are
interested.
