2007 Saab 9-7x

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.
