rjluna2 ◊ 2012-12-20 13:36	Indeed 1981/82.

rjluna2 ◊ 2012-12-22 22:36	How about /vehicle_544879-SAAB-900-Turbo-1981.html ?
night cub ◊ 2012-12-22 22:41	I say the same thing for that one. Saab only sold the 5-door 900 model for 1979 and 1980. It was available in two trims GLE and Turbo. It didn't sell well, so they ditched it for the sedan, which sold much better. Here's the USA lineup for 1981: http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1981/Saab Here's a history of the model in the US, see 1981: http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/tl.html 1981 USA Brochure: Link to "www.ebay.com" -- Last edit: 2012-12-22 22:52:48
rjluna2 ◊ 2012-12-22 22:42	But, what about the grille and the wheels Am I reading this wrong?
night cub ◊ 2012-12-22 23:01	Also the mirror is attached to the door. For 1981, there were new mirrors attached to the A-pillar/door frame. -- Last edit: 2012-12-22 23:03:00
