it needs paint. or it needs something. at this point, the cost of paint is pretty much out of the question, so i’m seriously condsidering a partial wrap with monte carlo yellow, leaving the edwardian grey lower section in tact. it’s pretty good anyway.
below are some inspirations:
you don’t realize how nice sun visors are, or even how often you use them, until your SAAB doesn’t have one. i’m not sure where this one ended up but all that was left when i got the car back was a metal stick. its probably on the side of the road in mexico, lost during one of the mission trips this 9000 provided transportation for.
the new one was supposed to be off of a1986, and it may well be, but it has a lighted vanity and the other one was not. so i had to trip the electical connector to fit up in the roof when i installed it. other than that, it all looks and works great! i’m sure goldwing was thinking they were giving me the best one they had.
this article in Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car magazine came out just a few months before i bought back the 9000.
it’s exactly the same SAAB as mine…but in a little better shape, with stock rims, no 2-tone paint and no shadow!
