This is your chance to own the most iconic Saab 900 in movie history. I'm selling my 1987 Saab Turbo Convertible that's the actual car driven by Paul Giamati in the Oscar Winning Movie Sideways. I acquired it about a year ago and have only driven it a few hundred miles. (was currently being used for Sideway's Wine Tours where the movie was filmed/last two pictures are those of the author Rex Picket next to the car.)The Saab was recently serviced by Swede Masters in Santa Barbara which included Transmission service, exhaust, new hoses and belts, and few other smaller items. The total was almost 2k and the receipt is included with the sale. In the past 6 months, I've added a new battery, 4 brand new Yokohama Avid Tires (0), new spark plugs, and a new cap and rotor. The car runs and drives very well. It starts every time, even after months of sitting in my garage. There are a few squeaks here in there and could certainly benefit from a check-up, but cruises down the road at 65mph without any issues. The turbo works great.
If you read any of the Saab forums, you'll learn this car was originally silver. However the director (Alexander Payne) wanted red exterior with black interior - which are almost impossible to find. So Sideways Inc, purchased this car in 2003 and had it painted. (all documentation included with sale)
The Saab includes a perfectly clean Carfax, set of extra keys, manuals, (2) 36" Posters - one of all provenance and an original movie poster, car cover, and probably a few extras I'm forgetting. The Saab Turbo has absolutely NO RUST, and has only been in Florida, Arizona, and California. The interior has a few rips/wear and is all original leather. The radio works, the lights works, the heat works, however there is no AC belt - so not sure on the compressor? The interior is missing the dimmer switch. The exterior is scratched up and has a few minor dings - same as the movie if you watch it closely.
I can help with shipping and the car can stay in my garage for up to 30 days. I expect an immediate down payment of 0 and the remainder within 7 days. The Saab is very reliable however due to its age, I would strongly suggest shipping. Even in Flagstaff, AZ where I live, there are no Saab Mechanics. If you broke down in Nebraska somewhere I'm guessing it would be quite expensive to fix.
Any questions, please inquire. This is once in a lifetime opportunity to own a great car from a fantastic movie!!!
