Thanks to everyone who came out to the event! It was another great year. I have more footage on the way, including some ride alongs and reviews of all kinds of Saabs, stay tuned!

[@IfyIbeto]

Wow, I own a SAAB 9-3 03' please What's this Saab owners day all about?

[@harrywiking3654]

Thank you my friend, great footage. Excellent work to take care and maintain these classic and legendary cars. I have a few myself, 9-5 Aero -05 sedan, silver metallic, automatic transmission. Driven only 95.000 km. Also 9-3 SC TTid Linear Griffin -12, oak brown, driven 175.000 km. These cars are only driven during the summer.😊

What a wondeful video for a former SAAB employee ! Thank you from Trollhättan in Sweden!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thank you for watching! Your work on these amazing cars is still appreciated!

[@dennislin7788]

Nice walk around. Some great looking rides. A lot of pride of ownership going on. Looking forward to the Saabinar with your fellow KZbinrs video.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks Dennis! Hopefully you and your 900 will make it out next year. The people are the best part about the events!

@@AutoAutopsy might have something different for 2024? What is old, is new again...

[@uncieyoda4305]

I'm so sad I missed the 2023 SOC. I was there in 2021 and 2022. I will definitely try to make my way out for 2024. So happy to see that you took the time to film so those who weren't able to make it can still see it.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the vid!

[@stevieh7322]

A delight to watch this collective appreciation of a great marque. I have a '94 9000 V6 Griffin which continues to be used as a 'daily driver' and really is a special car. But it seems not many appreciate it for what it is, which is a shame.

[@seanmahoney2755]

Another great video! Thanks you so much! That’s my lifelong friend Ralph Bockoven in the very opening of your awesome video. I knew I would see him in your SOC video!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Oh awesome! Nice 🙌🏼😄

[@Haans5010]

FIrst SOC i could attend as a new Saab fan. It was to meet you! And the others of course :) Something surreal about meeting yters. hope to have the 9k out next time!

[@AutoAutopsy]

You as well! 🙌🏼😁

[@yegorsolin4044]

Very cool and interesting video! 👍🏻 Thank you! And thanks to all Saab owners who came to the meeting! 👍🏻😊

[@jon05ctd]

What an awesome video! Thank you for the great walk around. Our Daughter had a 03 93 we bought her in 05 from Saab city in framingham. I LOVED bringing it in for service for her. My ex sister in law had a 90? 9000 manual was a quick car. But our daughters merlo with gray interior auto was my favorite

[@AutoAutopsy]

Awesome. They’re great cars 🙌🏼

[@fearnoproject2047]

Great Video! So cool to relive it. Pretty sure that is lowjackstandards 900 @7:45. Love the Swedish flag hood. Cool dude. That 1945 @19:32 belongs to a Chicago local, extremely nice saab guy. Huge saab fan. He also owns the Sonett V. Meeting Nick T. was awesome, as was his Viggen @28:55. He and Shelly are extremely cool people. The Turbo-X wagon @30:29 was insane. The owner and his son were very cool. Pretty sure they got the Crowd Favorite award? Very cool to see mine in one of your videos! @30:21. Got to sit in on the seminar. After all these years following you, Kyle and SaabDr, it was amazing to finally meet you all in person. That was an amazing week!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video and the event - we all really appreciate you watching our channels and coming to the seminar too! 🙌🏼

[@austinvitoux]

Very jelly, wish I could be there! Gonna be at the next one in ATL if I can finish my 900S resto. Can't wait to see the entire fleet once they all arrive.

[@AutoAutopsy]

😁🙌🏼

[@arrans1987]

Good turn out. I have a 1998 93 convertible 2.0i non turbo 5speed manual. Quite rare now without a turbo. Quite slow tho 😂

[@AutoAutopsy]

Nice haha

[@esvete9787]

I need to make it out to SOC sometime, crazy beautiful cars. I just got my first Saab, classic manual 900 turbo.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Nice! Congrats 🙌🏼

[@andydwill]

hi from uk... great channel. I have a Viggen Convertable in Silver, Turbo x xwd, 9-5 Limo 8 seat, 2000 9-3 SE Convertable and a 2010 Ttid 220hp diesel oh and the latest is a 9-3 2.8 Aero 🥰

[@AutoAutopsy]

Wow, nice collection

[@RetrocarStyle]

Man that red SPG at 4:03 was immaculate! LOOK AT THOSE SEATS!!

[@AutoAutopsy]

She’s a looker 😮‍💨

[@laurat1129]

So many Saabers went to SOC this year! (I wonder how many cars were there?) Time for me to join the club.😎

[@AutoAutopsy]

I think it is! They announced just under 250 cars and 450 people! 😁

[@marklewis2906]

Awesome vid! Love Saab.

[@morffi8557]

Is there a group chat you guys have ? My wife and I want to start joining these meets with our saab

[@AutoAutopsy]

Try joining a few of the Saab Facebook groups! You’ll see posts once next years location is announced. Www.Saabclub.com will also have locations posted 👍🏼😁

Hi from belgium, thanks for the great videos.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Glad you like them!

[@1873Winchester]

I got the red silver paint combo on my 900T16 as well, but fabric seats. I really didn't like it at first but it has really grown on me!

[@brandysuerochelle2559]

Very cool video ❤

[@AutoAutopsy]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@noahman27]

at 8:13, that grill design could be from a mid-late '70s 99. But That one looks customized for that 900 as the 99s didnt have those headlights. That center grill reminds me of our two door '77 99 EMS and our '79 99 Turbo (5 door hatch)

[@AutoAutopsy]

Nice. I was later told it’s apparently a one year only grille

[@ivanrf1]

Great video!

I don't see a classic Saab 900 Ruby? Approximately 185 Rubys were made for the UK market, all Ruby red. Mine was number 76. I had to sell it due to new London emission regulations. I now have a 95 Aero estate, but I still miss my Ruby.

[@AutoAutopsy]

not that I recall - sounds quite rare!

[@theaudiosenseinl]

Are there any Saab 9000 25th anniversary editions in the US?

I know this is probably the wrong place to send this email, but I didn't know exactly where to send it. My name is Fran Pugliese, my son purchased the 9-5 to get back and forth from college. It drives great, but leaks oil. We want to rebuild the engine, but don't know what are good parts or where to purchase them. We have watched many of your videos and respect the work you do any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is hopefully going to be a project for next summer 2024. Thank you for your time.

[@olleljung2930]

I’d look at esaabparts and maptun. Hope this helps :)

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks for your support. Where are you located? My best recommendation would be to join the Saab 9-5 Facebook group and ask there. I’m sure there’s already some existing posts that might help too

[@user-rc3gm4dm1d]

Pennsylvania, and I will give that a try.

[@supersaabclaire]

And no green wheels in sight thank goodness!!!

[@nhtom8]

Have all the Saab 99s disappeared or did I miss something?

[@AutoAutopsy]

There weren’t many that I recall - I’ll have one covered in my Saturday video that was highly customized!

[@VioleNFaN]

Only 2.3 9-5s. Where 2.0 B205 9-5 available in the US market?

[@AutoAutopsy]

Nope only the 2.3 and 3.0 V6!

2x Beryl SPG’s!

So cool 😍

[@1873Winchester]

Gotta say none of the post 9000s really "do it" for me. It's not Saabs fault I guess, it really aplies to all cars. Feels like in the 90s something happened and cars made after are different somehow... Probably it's a bunch of things, design and technology changes that each on their own doesn't matter but when taken together changes the overall feel. But also changes in society and outlook, the slow move away from making good products to instead making products you cannot work on yourself anymore, to make a car more something you rent than own (particularly clear today that we're on this path), to make it too complicated to work on without a full auto shop, to lock you into expensive dealer service networks and so on.

[@AutoAutopsy]

I’m not sure I agree with that conclusion! All modern Saabs are very easy to work on for the average person!

[@brandysuerochelle2559]
