Thanks to everyone who came out to the event! It was another great year. I have more footage on the way, including some ride alongs and reviews of all kinds of Saabs, stay tuned!
Thank you my friend, great footage. Excellent work to take care and maintain these classic and legendary cars. I have a few myself, 9-5 Aero -05 sedan, silver metallic, automatic transmission. Driven only 95.000 km. Also 9-3 SC TTid Linear Griffin -12, oak brown, driven 175.000 km. These cars are only driven during the summer.😊
The green saab you saw was the 92A, the original model as you can see it by not having a trunk and instead having a gas cap. That particalar is a Swedish import as you can see from the old swedish plates. And if I remember correctly the paint was left over from the airplanes after WW2 if I remember correctly.
I'm so sad I missed the 2023 SOC. I was there in 2021 and 2022. I will definitely try to make my way out for 2024. So happy to see that you took the time to film so those who weren't able to make it can still see it.
A delight to watch this collective appreciation of a great marque. I have a '94 9000 V6 Griffin which continues to be used as a 'daily driver' and really is a special car. But it seems not many appreciate it for what it is, which is a shame.
FIrst SOC i could attend as a new Saab fan. It was to meet you! And the others of course :) Something surreal about meeting yters. hope to have the 9k out next time!
What an awesome video! Thank you for the great walk around. Our Daughter had a 03 93 we bought her in 05 from Saab city in framingham. I LOVED bringing it in for service for her. My ex sister in law had a 90? 9000 manual was a quick car. But our daughters merlo with gray interior auto was my favorite
Another great video! Thanks you so much! That’s my lifelong friend Ralph Bockoven in the very opening of your awesome video. I knew I would see him in your SOC video!
Very jelly, wish I could be there! Gonna be at the next one in ATL if I can finish my 900S resto. Can't wait to see the entire fleet once they all arrive.
Great Video! So cool to relive it. Pretty sure that is lowjackstandards 900 @7:45. Love the Swedish flag hood. Cool dude. That 1945 @19:32 belongs to a Chicago local, extremely nice saab guy. Huge saab fan. He also owns the Sonett V. Meeting Nick T. was awesome, as was his Viggen @28:55. He and Shelly are extremely cool people. The Turbo-X wagon @30:29 was insane. The owner and his son were very cool. Pretty sure they got the Crowd Favorite award? Very cool to see mine in one of your videos! @30:21. Got to sit in on the seminar. After all these years following you, Kyle and SaabDr, it was amazing to finally meet you all in person. That was an amazing week!
hi from uk... great channel. I have a Viggen Convertable in Silver, Turbo x xwd, 9-5 Limo 8 seat, 2000 9-3 SE Convertable and a 2010 Ttid 220hp diesel oh and the latest is a 9-3 2.8 Aero 🥰

at 8:13, that grill design could be from a mid-late '70s 99. But That one looks customized for that 900 as the 99s didnt have those headlights. That center grill reminds me of our two door '77 99 EMS and our '79 99 Turbo (5 door hatch)

I don't see a classic Saab 900 Ruby? Approximately 185 Rubys were made for the UK market, all Ruby red. Mine was number 76. I had to sell it due to new London emission regulations. I now have a 95 Aero estate, but I still miss my Ruby.
I know this is probably the wrong place to send this email, but I didn't know exactly where to send it. My name is Fran Pugliese, my son purchased the 9-5 to get back and forth from college. It drives great, but leaks oil. We want to rebuild the engine, but don't know what are good parts or where to purchase them. We have watched many of your videos and respect the work you do any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is hopefully going to be a project for next summer 2024. Thank you for your time.
Thanks for your support. Where are you located? My best recommendation would be to join the Saab 9-5 Facebook group and ask there. I’m sure there’s already some existing posts that might help too
Gotta say none of the post 9000s really "do it" for me. It's not Saabs fault I guess, it really aplies to all cars. Feels like in the 90s something happened and cars made after are different somehow... Probably it's a bunch of things, design and technology changes that each on their own doesn't matter but when taken together changes the overall feel. But also changes in society and outlook, the slow move away from making good products to instead making products you cannot work on yourself anymore, to make a car more something you rent than own (particularly clear today that we're on this path), to make it too complicated to work on without a full auto shop, to lock you into expensive dealer service networks and so on.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the event! It was another great year. I have more footage on the way, including some ride alongs and reviews of all kinds of Saabs, stay tuned!
Wow,
I own a SAAB 9-3 03'
please What's this Saab owners day all about?

Alfa Romeo = Turbine wheels ?
@@IfyIbeto its about meeting guys , its about meeting girls , scores man got a tattoo !
What a wondeful video for a former SAAB employee ! Thank you from Trollhättan in Sweden!
Thank you for watching! Your work on these amazing cars is still appreciated!

Yeah! Super cool
Nice walk around. Some great looking rides. A lot of pride of ownership going on. Looking forward to the Saabinar with your fellow TH-camrs video.
Thanks Dennis! Hopefully you and your 900 will make it out next year. The people are the best part about the events!
@@AutoAutopsy might have something different for 2024? What is old, is new again...

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video and the event - we all really appreciate you watching our channels and coming to the seminar too! 🙌🏼
I need to make it out to SOC sometime, crazy beautiful cars. I just got my first Saab, classic manual 900 turbo.
Nice! Congrats 🙌🏼

Wow, nice collection
I got the red silver paint combo on my 900T16 as well, but fabric seats. I really didn't like it at first but it has really grown on me!
👍🏼👊🏼
Good turn out. I have a 1998 93 convertible 2.0i non turbo 5speed manual. Quite rare now without a turbo. Quite slow tho 😂
Nice haha
awesome saabs! thank you for showing us!!
Thanks for watching!
it's also Intsaab over here in the UK
Awesome. Hopefully someone will post some footage and photos so we can watch!
Awesome vid! Love Saab.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
So many Saabers went to SOC this year! (I wonder how many cars were there?) Time for me to join the club.😎
I think it is! They announced just under 250 cars and 450 people! 😁
Is there a group chat you guys have ? My wife and I want to start joining these meets with our saab

Glad you enjoyed!
Man that red SPG at 4:03 was immaculate! LOOK AT THOSE SEATS!!
She’s a looker 😮💨
Those red 900 SPGs are THE BEST!!!!! Dream car of mine.

Nice. I was later told it’s apparently a one year only grille
Hi from belgium, thanks for the great videos.
Glad you like them!

i might go next year after i restore my 95
Working on a resto too. ATL is next year I believe, you've got some time before then, make it happen!
👊🏼👍🏼

not that I recall - sounds quite rare!
Preface lift 93s all day. Difference in silver or black roof rails is anniversary on the 95 and 93x

I’m not sure I agree with that conclusion! All modern Saabs are very easy to work on for the average person!
Great video!
Thanks!
Are there any Saab 9000 25th anniversary editions in the US?
EMS was my fav car
🙌🏼👊🏼
Loving all the videos that have Tamara just chilling in my roof rack 😂
🤣🤣
Only 2.3 9-5s. Where 2.0 B205 9-5 available in the US market?
Nope only the 2.3 and 3.0 V6!
Have all the Saab 99s disappeared or did I miss something?
There weren’t many that I recall - I’ll have one covered in my Saturday video that was highly customized!
i just realized i was at this same event with my dad lol
Hope you both enjoyed 👍🏼
Prefacelift
👊🏼
And no green wheels in sight thank goodness!!!
🤨
😭 so close to me and my Saab won't start
Noooo
@@AutoAutopsy heyyyy you don't happen to have a Saab buddy in the St Louis area, do you? I can't find a Tech II near me for 200 miles.
2x Beryl SPG’s!
So cool 😍
I've had a few moose passengers In my saab... All my ex girlfriends obviously 😜😎💪
😬
Malaysia
No love for the og 9-3 anymore !
it's really, really hard to cover 250+ cars and still keep the videos interesting and relatively concise. doing what I can!
and not a single 9-2x : (
There was one on my Day 2 video - I don’t recall if I showed it or not
@@AutoAutopsysadly we can't see it in video
Face lift alllll day
👍🏼🙌🏼
9000s yay!
👍🏼🤣
