You could be buying more trouble with the '76, especially rust etc. "Christian Grande" <cgrandenopsamne.no> wrote in message news:zIve7.794$y9k.179812864nopsam.telia.no... > Hello Saab enthusiasts, > > I currently own a Saab 99GL 1984 with a crunched gearbox, estimated service > costs of approx. 2,000$.
