2007 Saab 9-7x 5.3i

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would generously pay above-market prices to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in September, all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. Many additional lots will be offered in the coming months. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

Neither fully Swedish nor truly American, the Saab 9-7x occupied an unusual and yet curiously appealing middle ground. It was Saab's first SUV, a close — but highly refined — relative to the Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy. Yet General Motors, which fully controlled Saab for its existence in the 21st century, made myriad changes to create the 9-7x. In addition to styling that aligned with the Swedish brand's sedans and convertibles, the 9-7x boasted an upgraded interior with nicer leather trim and clear, Euro-inspired instrumentation.

Oh, and its key was moved to the center console — a Saab tradition dating back to the late 1960s intended to reduce the risk of an unintended injury from sharp keys protruding from the dashboard.

This 2007 9-7x features GM's 5.3L V8, an LS2-generation engine rated at 300 hp when new. A four-speed automatic transmission shifts power to all four wheels. Finished in metallic gray over a black leather interior, it is equipped with power-adjustable and heated front seats, a sunroof, and a trailer hitch.

First registered in Michigan, this largely unmodified Saab SUV later spent time in the Southeastern U.S.

This 2007 Saab 9-7x 5.3i is now represented by a Broad Arrow Specialist at no reserve with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a bonded Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
