SAAB Owners' Convention '02







Kerry Mull's 96, I think.





The '63 2 stroker 95 wagon

I snapped this right after shouting: "Suck it in Turk!"





James kept the rally car open for inspection all weekend.





Andrew Burgin's Sonett II #000218

This is the one bored out to 940cc. Woohoo!





A lineup of bullnose cars at the concours. Just beautiful.





I got a bunch of these shots, this one is Bruce's wagon (the wheel, that is).





A lineup of modified 900's, some discreet and some outrageous.





A pretty 93B, a B because it has suicide doors.





Lester Ewing's Quantum and Charles Christ's 93 racers.





John Plankey's indiscreet 2 liter turbocharged old body Sonett and concours mechanic.





Ed Lorenz's yellow III, Jim Richards purple III and some V4 Sonetts.





Some 96's from the rear.





V4 Sonetts from behind.





This car's owner showed me photos of a body shell sans doors or hood just four weeks prior to the event.

Reportedly, the paint was barely dry when he drove it to SAAB Con 2002.

A credible external reproduction of Stig Blomqvist's works rally car.





Mikael Hemmingsen and the outrageous factory rally car with crossflow induction.

Would like to take a ride in this one!





Charles Christ's 93 racer.





The Brooklyn SAAB group.

This is the same outfit responsible for the white 900 convertible winner of the 2002 SAABtoberfest Drool Bucket Award.

Amazing, first class work. Interiors repainted to whatever colors they liked. Unique gauge clusters.





See the gauges and tweeters in the door panels? These guys do good work.





Tom Donney's stroker 95 and SAABO, driven at 50mph all the way from Fort Dodge, Iowa.

At least the stroker was fitted with a 9K Aero driver's seat!
