Ed & Sandi Funk |
The Sweet Beet is in very good
shape. Victor Haaj started the restoration a
good while ago and didn't finish. He asked
Bill J to store it and sell it. I was
fortunate to come along at the right moment to
purchase and finish the job. I've been
driving around locally for the five years.
Great car! Runs very well. As of August 2007, the Sweet Beet has been sold. Feel free to e-mail for info. |

The car is in North Georgia at my brothers farm. Car was driven daily until 1980, at which time it was parked, awaiting a move to Florida (of the car) which never happened. Came with a 750 cc engine, but also have an inop 850cc three carb. The car would run circles around my Tr-6 on a road course. Will be restored in the near future. Photos as soon as possible. |

Green,
sunroof, 850 motor & 4-speed trans (I have original 750

100% correct.

White,
one of several vintage
Saabs parked next to a
barn. The barn was set
ablaze by the owner in
the fall of 2000,
after an argument with
his girlfriend.
Several cars and
perhaps the largest
stash of vintage NOS
Saab parts in the
Northeast were
completely destroyed.

Phill Tomeny 23 Union Street Waterbury, VT 05676 (802) 244-8843 NOTE: ...SOLD to Bruce Welch summer of '06... |
This car was driven from Seattle to Vermont in the 80's. The previous owner stripped it, restored the body, sandblasted and painted it. Then it was stored for 10 years in pieces. I acquired it as a "kit". The kit seems complete and my goal is to have it on the road in the summer of 2003. Ah, the stuff dreams are made of. This project has suffered from general inertia and has not progressed as I had planned. A renewed sense of commitment has pushed it near the top of the "to do" list this summer (2003). Someday..... |
 |
1959 93B | ? | Rob Lodes | Owner is Rob Lodes but the car was towed to Ed McKenna's farm in Brackney, PA by Larry West several years ago for storage. Unfortunately, rumor has it that the barn the car was stored in caught fire, damaging or destroying the car. A ll attempts to contact Ed McKenna have failed. If you know where this car is please contact Bruce Turk at sonett1@frontiernet.net |

54,000 original miles. Bought from original owner in Minnesota about 8 years ago. Currently in ground-up restoration, good body but some rust in rear fenders and looking for parts to replace. Engine also in restoration and will have to replace pistons. Car stored since 1967 in a barn, and overall was in good shape except for some areas of rust. When restoration complete should be a show model, black exterior with red interior. Also need to replace rubber molds on glass. | |

Carter 3566 Jersey Street Panton, Vermont 05491 (802) 475-2636 |
Bought about 8 years ago with totally rusted pan. Upper part of car in pretty good shape (doors, fenders, etc). Totally apart in garage for the last 5 years - drivetrain out, interior out, floor pan pretty much fixed. Motor is shot, but it did run when I got it. I should probably get rid of it.... |

most original, pristine 93 on the planet. I have gone over this

I bought the black beauty from Ray Stebbens in 1968, as I recall, for $500. This was when I was an aspiring mechanic at Coldspring Saab, Huntington, LI, NY. During the ensuing years she housed a regular 850, then a '67 850LD with oil injection - but this did not save the engine. In '70 or '71 I installed a V4 ($225 j-yard). This worked well for some years until in '76 or '77 the left side rear shock bracket broke off due to rust. It has been in storage since then. Now she is being restored again - maybe original this time. The floor seams are rotted - even the fuel line rusted open ('76). I fitted Koni shocks in the rear, and installed Hella "super bright" headlights. Ray Stebbens fitted an interior and bumpers from a '65, wheels and brakes from a Monte Carlo or a special. I shoehorned in seats from a Monte Carlo.. | |

we are the third owners and it has always been an upstate NY
