He has another old Saab, I'm not sure which one I've seen before so I cannot attest to the current condition other than what he's told me over the phone.
As a side note, you all know Saab started as an airplane company and designed these cars to be aerodynamic, might make a nice starting point for those that like to do aerodynamic modifications. Although I see last year a nice stock one with 113,000 miles at Bring-a-Trailer went for 17K.

Link above is not Bruce's car, but with some work could be. Bruce has four other cars, this one has to go, sad because I know he loves it.
