who would dare outrun this?
...maybe this one, but only off-road
Calibra pickup?
Wait, it gets worse....
Very ZZ Top.
Yes, this is a Calibra, I kid you not!
This one has seen better days, but more pain is in the horizon...
Where were they made anyway?
Starting from November 1995, all Calibra production was switched to Saab-Valmet assembly plant at Uusikaupunki, Finnland. Some say these last finnish ones are the best made of the lot. Uusikaupunki is currently assembling Porsche Boxters.
Look at your VIN number:
WOL 0000 85 [K to V] [1 or 9] XXXXXX
If '1' it was made at Ruesselsheim
If '9' it was made at Uusikaupunki
