Especially since the seller did not claim it was an original Baja car.

Torsten Aman is a Muckety-Muck with SAAB USA, and has a racing history. It is his name on the side of the car.

Regardless Wilson, a real Baja car would not have:
a complete interior
complete undercoating
unreinforced a arms
a Weber DCD carb
dead OEM shocks

Anyway seems there's stacks of poseurs building "rally" inspired Saabs and somehow they seem to neglect the critical thing which transforms the car into a rally car: engine and gearbox spec.

WilÃ¶son, gimme a call when you have a moment and fill me in on how your Bowel Movement Wonder projet is going.. Didya sell the Colts?
