When I was in the car business I lived for Saabs like that and found my fair share of them. One of the best was an '84 900 turbo I bought at the auction for $700. The down pipe was shot so it sounded like a stock car. It rode terrible. The outside was filthy, the tires were shot and it wasn't running very good. Got it back to the shop and threw a wash job on it and wow, the body and paint are flawless. Vacummed the interior out and came to realize it too was flawless-didn't even have to detail it. Ran it over and got some new tires on it and suddenly it rides like a dream. I put it on the hoist, changed the fluids, give it a complete tune-up (worst set of plugs I've ever seen), replaced the down pipe and now it purrrs like a kitten. The car has 92,000 original miles and for the first time I beieve it. I got the title in the mail a few days later and realize that it's a two owner car. The last owner bought the car in 1986 when it was two years old! Aparently the car had been stored outside for at least a year or two which was why it looked the way it did. I ended up replacing a lot of gaskets as a result (plus a few other minor issues) but when I was done it was a sweet little car.
