    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “My Dad was one of the first SAAB dealers in the US, so I grew up with the cornpoppers. We were located near the entry port and headquarters . I remember visiting the New Haven HQ and riding a freight elevator to Ralph Millet’s office. We had one tech whose job was engine replacement, and he was kept busy. They are fun cars to drive, the odds of seeing another one on the road rare. This is a beauty, good luck with the sale.”

    “I bought mine new in 04 (same color and spec) and with a wife and 4 kids, drove it 210,000 trouble free miles in 15 years making it the best and most dependable vehicle I’ve ever owned. If this truck was properly maintained, 100k miles is nothing and should provide the next family years of reliable service. I don’t know the seller at all but love his responsiveness and transparency in this auction. GLWTA.”

    “I quite like this version of the 2002, I still remember in 1970 when my father picked up his brand new 2002 Ti here in Vancouver. My father’s car came in Colorado orange, it had a limited slip differential and sunroof but only a 4 speed transmission. The next year, I used the Ti for all my driving lessons and tests when I pursued my driver’s licence, even the driving instructors were impressed with the car.”

    “Jimmy Don Ventura had owned enough unusual automobiles over the years to believe he understood the public. He’d driven a lime-green AMC Gremlin, a Triumph Spitfire that leaked oil with the determination of an East Texas mosquito, and a Plymouth Barracuda that had once stranded him in front of the Dairy Twin during the lunch rush. Every one of them had attracted comments, questions, and unsolicited mechanical advice from complete strangers.
    Then he bought Fred.
    Officially, it was a 1949…”

    “If you told me 10 years ago that GM’s only manual performance car would be a Cadillac sedan, I’d have told you you’re crazy.”

    “We had the paint shop “Marauder” line at STAP I had the opportunity to work on these beautiful cars. There were about 8 of us on 2 shifts that made certain that they were gone over with a fine tooth comb!! Often they were sent through clear coat x2 so they were perfectly done! We would hang a heavy metal washer from a wire inside the car from body shop so everyone knew it was a Marauder. They were signed off by 3 different people before they got shipped to chassis!”

    “At the age of 74 and having owned almost 200 cars over that span, I enjoyed many different cars, many muscle cars back in the 70’s when they were several years old and pretty much worn out by then…still tons of fun, I also owned several sports cars two Spitfires, and a ’63 Austin Healey Sprite, and three Fiat 850 spiders. But one of the few cars I always dreamed of was a TR6. Never had the money when a deal came along. I hope the winner will be as excited to drive this as I would have been…”

    “If you haven’t ever heard an F355 with a Tubi exhaust in a nice decently long tunnel run, you should. The 355’s have a Flat plane crankshaft, and with a Tubi Exhaust has a Formula 1 sound… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jchd1Sj6PsM If you are in a hurry, you can start at 30 seconds. If the link does not work you can go to Youtube and search for “Ferrari F355 tunnel run” (by Fast Terrific) Not many cars can give you goosebumps when you hear them, this one does.”

    “Fun reading the comments here. I’ve owned many 99s over the years. My first car was a Topaz Yellow ‘76 GL 4 door with 90k miles that I bought in 1980 from my local Saab dealership, Reinertsen Motors. It was $3000, but I traded in my 1 year old Motobecane moped, so net cash was $2400 (plus tax). I later traded that 99 at Reinertsen Motors for a ‘74 Carolina Blue 99 LE like this one because I preferred the utility of the hatchback and it looked more up to date at the time as the 900 was…”
