Seeing c900’s pretty regularly keeps me stoked to get mine on the road. Saw this one on my way to work the other day. I see a few a month here in Portland, Oregon. Thankful to have many nearby resources.
Just bought my first 8-valve Saab After several years of running 16-valve Saab 900’s. (1988, 1991, 1992, and 1993). This one is a 1985 900 S - highly optioned with euro-style headlights.
at this point, the only things that don‘t work on the cluster are the fuel gauge and the clock. My Saab guy has a strong suspicion that the fuel sender is bad.
Is it common for the fuel senders to fail on the pre-87 cars? I’ve never had a fuel gauge issue before.
Little garage sesh the other night trying to figure out where to start. Because of how long it’s been sitting I’m hung up on whether to just do the head gasket right away or if I should just get some fresh fuel and see if I can start it. I know I’m pulling the motor out regardless because the transmission is going to be rebuilt but making sure the engine works fine prior to pulling would save the grief of an unexpected engine issue if I focus solely on the transmission while everything’s apart. Anyway here’s my cat doing some exploring while I try and sort it all out!
