It also has a lock on the drivers side tunnel that looks like a bike lock, push it in and use the key to pop out. I have no idea what that is. The real difference is it has a non turbo 6 cylinder diesel. Completely different looking than my 300 TDT. Air box is on the left, the intake is different. Different CCU (dials instead of buttons) Could this be the proper engine or is it from something else? It is a 603 engine as it is stamped on the top. Any light on this mystery would be great

The air box is on the left for a N/A.
The lock could be a gear lock. Saab's had them.
Sounds just like a Euro N/A , a bit gutless compaired to a turbo but still a great wagon.
