1978 Saab 99 EMS Description

Well... I was planning on using this as a beater to drive around in because its a really unique car. I thought I would have more time to work on it, but as it always turns out I don't.
Car currently will start up and run, it has a real tight gearbox and will run through the gears good. Most my driving on it is just moving it around my driveway. Body is in decent condition, there are some non-major rust spots. The PO said the car was garaged its whole life, and I currently keep it in the garage. PO did some weld patches in places around the car (definitely not concours work). See photos for body condition and message me if you have any more questions and I will be happy to share more.
The car has a fresh head gasket replacement, intake gasket, exhaust gasket. I cleaned out the fuel system as much as I could but it still has some bad gas in it and is running rich and smokes when running. Brakes seem to be working fine, I bled them and they are holding fluids well.
The trunk of the car is filled with spare parts. There are all 4 soccer ball wheels (one is in the trunk) and two spare tires with wheels. The front air damn is with the car as well but is cracked and needs repair.
I have the title with the car and a pile of other paperwork from the PO. These cars hard to come by, and this would make a great spare car or just a daily driver with some work.
