The clutch on the classic 900 is a relatively easy job -- one that a shadetree mechanic can do in an afternoon. If that's the only problem with the car, you'll have a nice car for $1200-1400 (depending on whether you or a shop does the clutch). The 900 8-valve engine may not be the quickest one around, but it's very solid. If it's a turbo, it has plenty of power; if not, it is still much better than most current econoboxes. ----------------- John Weiss Seattle, WA remove *nospam* from e-mail address for reply Michael Warf <michael.warfnopsams.com> wrote in message news:383973D2.9251238Fnopsams.com... > Hello, > > A local dealer has been sitting on a 1985 SAAB 900 8 Valve engine with a > blown clutch.
