Doug thank you for a detailed response. As I have just completed the restoration of a 1969 Lotus Elan +2, I know some of the the problems securing those difficult parts. I had no idea that there are not parts specialists that can supply NOS and/or repro parts for the 99. It appears there is little demand for such. Getting a "good" 1974 car is difficult. Certainly one with an interior that would compliment a 100 point restoration nearly impossible.
The Lotus was a "hand built" car. Therefore the interior in particular had mostly easily replicated components. But the Saab 99 was a mass produced car with model specific parts such as door panels, dash etc. If these type of parts cannot be found it would make a "as new" restoration difficult at best.
I do not remember the color name of the wagonback I owned. It was a lighter color blue than the later Embassy Blue on my 1987 900. Could have been Carolina Blue, I would need a color sample.
Again, thank you for the information.
Bob
