Yes, I was fortunate to find the T-37, especially still in the hands of the original family. One of these years that car will get the paint job it deserves.
Here is one of my Saabs that you guys might appreciate...it is a '92 900 base sedan in Nocturne Blue (similar to a Ford blue I see was available on Mustangs).
It started as a normally-aspirated 2.1 liter, 16V car, automatic, cloth seats, no sunroof, steel wheels with full wheel covers. I got it from a customer who moved to Vegas and didn't want to take it with him as it was in need of a transmission (pinion bearings shot due to quick-lube shop draining differential oil instead of engine oil...very common on these 900s due to configuration of drivetrain...engine sits on top of transmission)
I pulled the drivetrain to replace the automatic with a good used unit I had from a wreck, and added a Mitsubishi turbo with stock intercooling system while it was out (same turbo and system as on my stock '91 SPG). So...now it runs about 7-8 psi of boost on the stock 2.1 engine with 10:1 compression. Pretty quick off the line, surprises some people!
It has no emblems (other than the small "turbo" in the grille) and I added the dog-dish style hubcaps that were used on 8-valve base cars in the mid 1980s. Kind of gives it a sleeper/unmarked look, especially in this color IMO. Someone who doesn't know these cars well would think it came this way from the factory. Fun car but unfortunately getting quite rusty underneath as it is my winter beater.
