12-17 001196 Laufende Nummer
Habe vor Kurzem die Entschlüsselung der Fahrzeug-Ident.-Nummer (bis 1983) gepostet und bei den Rückmeldungen festgestellt, dass daran nicht nur die vorherrschenden 900-Turbo-Fahrer interessiert sind. Jetzt habe ich die Liste für alle Modelle vom 99er bis zum 9-5er aus den Jahren 1972 bis 2000 zusammen.
Ehe ich hier immer poste, könntet Ihr die vorhandene 900er-Liste (die übrigens keineswegs vollständig ist und nur für "neuere Modelle" gilt) ergänzen oder neu aufstellen? Ältere Semester lassen sich damit nämlich nicht entschlüsseln. Die Entschlüsselung hat sich Anfang der 80er Jahre beinahe im 2-Jahres-Rhythmus geändert.

Vintage Saab (1950-1965) VINs
1972-1980 VIN style

This one is really simple.
The first two digits are the car series: 95, 96, 97, 99, 90 (for 900).
The next two digits are the last two digits of the model year: 72 = 1972, etc.
The fifth digit is the manufacturing plant:

2 = Trollhättan line #2
3 = Arlöv, Sweden
5 = Arlöv, Sweden - 97 (Sonett) only!!!!

The 6th through 12th digits are the serial # of that model on that line.
