This one is mine. Former ITB racer, has been off the road for awhile. It was last on a track in 2008 according to the Logbook.
Asking $500 so I break even. Possible trade for Jeep XJ or something else cool that runs. I lose interest in projects pretty quick when I can't drive them before putting a lot of work in them. 
Clear title (it does say non-highway due to liability insurance discontinued, to return to highway status owner must comply with requirements of titling state).
The cage has been removed, the interior is pretty much stripped with the exception of the dash parts, it does not have seats but the driver seat area has a frame welded in to mount a race seat.
It should run fine, I haven't finished hooking up the wiring harness, I kinda just lost motivation in the project and haven't got much done.
It does have a 5-speed trans and axles/hubs/brakes from an 87 900 turbo I believe. The trans is said to have weak synchros.
Comes with 3 alloys with allseasons and 4 steelies with Toyo RA1s with some life left on them.
Also comes with new-in-box Turbo airdam and a set of complete factory manuals for the Saab 900.
There are probably other things I am forgetting...here is the build thread with some pictures. http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/saab-99-ems-project/50981/page1/
Is the rust shown all there is? How is the underside and floors?
The rust shown in front of the rear wheel and in the door sill (picture in build thread) is all there is. Underside and floors are good. I can get some pictures tonight.
I know you want a non-running W123...
But seriously if the starter gets the Benz to start and we could get the whole transport thing worked out, would you be interested?
Copy and paste from the PO's ad when I bought it.
Previous Owner said:
This was an SCCA ITB car (though I can tell you it wasn't to the rules with all of the 900 stuff) since 1991. Dent free and the only rust holes are from where mud flaps were and where the little rubber pieces are on in front of the rear wheel wells. They were patched with tin, which I have removed. I have all nuts/bolts in labeled boxes.
The car has run fine since resurrected in 2007. We've put 7 hours of track time on it, until the slave cylinder quit and my friend lunched the transmission. I put a 5sp in, but it needs syncros. I could shift slowly and it was fine. All of the gears looked good.
The gas tank has been replaced by a fuel cell and external electric fuel pump. The water pump has been replaced by a full electric pump.
In December 2011, I took it all apart up to the rear suspension with plans to patch the holes, paint it and make an interesting cheap driver out of it. I have a 900 sunroof panel, which is plenty of metal to do the patches.
I'm looking for someone who wants to take all of my SAAB stuff in one shot. Maybe one of you PA guys would want to make the trip with a trailer. If not, I'll crush the shell and part it out over time.
Here are the main points:
Body:
-I cut out the cage. I wasn't good anyway. My elbow literally went between the door bar and the door!
-All of the body panels are good.
-Straight and very rust free. No rust around any tailight/turn signal holes or fender lips. Doors only have a couple of spots around the lower trim holes (I still had to drill out the rivets).
-Door and rear window glass good, but the windshield has a passenger side vertical crack.
-Not really any good door/window seals on the car.
Steering/Suspension:
-Manual steering rack is good, with a good bushing in it and new tie rod ends. The front end was tight.
-Pre '87 900 wheels fit, so It has 900 hubs or something on the rear. Not sure if the whole axle was fitted.
-Has some short Bilstein shocks and stiff springs of unknown origin. No need for a spring compressor!
Brakes:
-Metric to SAE connections for all brake lines, brake master and booster are good.
-'87 900 turbo vented front brakes (I just unbolted the upper/lower ball joints from the '87 turbo parts car and bolted it on, axles and all)
-I welded in a 900 parking brake mechanism and have all of the cables and handle that all work.
Drivetrain:
-Original 2.0 engine with jetronic FI. We never had an issue with it starting or running.
-Transmission and Axle setup is from a 1987 900 turbo. No issues with binding in tight circles and no vibrations at speed. Probably needs a rebuild, but I was just going to do sycros and call it a day.
-I used the 4sp chain cover and used JB weld around a screw to make the 1/2 moon. No leaks.
-It has an AP clutch kit with very little wear. The disc looks almost new.
-Original radiator is good. I had it checked out and tested.
-Most of the shifter was from the 900. I also have the 4sp shifter.
Other stuff:
-Steering column has a quick release welded on. I have the column and steering wheel out of the turbo that I was going to cut and paste on it.
-I took the wiring harness out of the car. All connections have their switches attached or a diagram of where things plug in. I was going to replace with an aftermarket harness and build a new one for the engine. Could just be reused.
-Driver side has a boxed tubing seat frame attachment. Passenger side is stock.
-I stripped the driver door of everything and saved all seals to match to generics.
-Some of the stock gauges worked, but no speedo cable so don't know about that. I know the tach and temp gauge worked.
-BEST PART! All door, trunk and glove box locks work great and I have an original SAAB key and several copies. I added all good linkages for the door handles from a 900, so the doors work great.
-All lights and remaining trim are in ok/usable condition.
-I swapped in 900 inner door handles, but still have the 99 bars/handles
-There is no interior, but I have all of the dash pieces.
-I have a couple of boxes of spare parts I stripped off of a 900 parts car, suspension arms, wiring harnesses with turn signal and wiper stalks, steering column and turbo steering wheel, 4 good alloys, 4 good steels, good door panels and more I can't remember.
-I have the front brakes/hubs/axles from the 4sp trans.
Some more pictures, as you can see it is pretty solid, some surface rust on places but it is definitely not rotted.
I'm both relived and depressed that this isn't closer to me. This, plus my skanky c900 turbo and stock pile of SAAB hop up parts could make a competitive $20xx challenge car.
I guess I forgot to add the location even though it is in my profile...Ashland, OH 44805.
You are only one state over .
It's in one of the boxes of parts.

For the love of god don't tell me that.....it needs to be taken to the challenge tho.....which I prolly couldn't do for it
Bump. I know someone needs a car with under 48k miles for only $500.
Bump... http://www.craigscarlust.org/?p=208
Bump, still available. I found something I want more so this has to go.
This has my name written all over it...Ohio isn't that far...ergh...
I'm also negotiable on the price. I decided to keep the Toyos for my Miata so it will come with all-seasons on it. I can knock $100 off if you don't want the brand new air-dam.

I will now publicly admit I want you car! All I have is a 79 Midget project I can trade. Someone has to buy this!
