Forget the bumpers, just put some lower springs on that EMS. Nice 99!
looking for the early small metal bumper for the front (nothing on the rear..filled the holes)...and yes she sits too high planning on cutting the front springs (no lowering springs for the early 99's...c900's were a heavier car so i would end up with the same stance) http://saabworld.net/images/imported/2013/01/56.jpg http://saabworld.net/images/imported/2013/01/57.jpg http://saabworld.net/images/imported/2013/01/58.jpg
Man, that body looks straight!
still restoring...link (maybe?).. 1973 SAAB 99 EMS Notch Photos by saabfan9 | Photobucket
That is a BEAUTY!! But why lower it?
My flat-nose '86 900 sits that high. I rather like it--something different from the "me-too" lowering crowd, if you know what I mean. I rather enjoy the muscular look of a high-up SAAB on big tires. It's not like they're particularly aerodynamic anyway, and it's too much work to put proper sway bars on my car to make it handle well :lol:
Look at this one
1977 Saab 99 - $2750 (Voorheesville)
65k Miles!
WOW. I wonder why no rust. If they daily-drove it in the Albany area, that seems strange. You tempt me... Wish I were still looking for another car, or had any room at all. The 900 my girlfriend ended up buying is falling apart at the autobox, and requires about 5 hours of work per week just to keep on the road. :(
Someone ought to save that car, though! It could well end up being something awful, but if it isn't, I'd like to see it go into good hands. That owner doesn't seem like the most meticulous person, judging by his spelling and grammar.
