1964 SAAB 96

88,822 miles.  Car has been stored in a pole barn for the last 7 years.  The man we got it from drove it there and it hasn't been moved since.  A restorer looked at it and said the car was in remarkable condition and highly restorable.  Interior is in great condition.  It appears to never have been wrecked but has a few dings.  We need to move this car because we no longer own the pole barn where it is stored.  Just make offer.  Could possibly deliver.   If no answer, please leave a message and I will get back to you.

1968 SAAB 96 Deluxe

  

Parts or project car.   This V4 SAAB spent its entire life in northern Illinois and Indiana, so you imagine how much rust there is on it.  But the interior is in fairly decent shape and I was driving this lovely thing regularly (and having a heck of a time) before the transmission went out a year ago.  It's been in the garage since. 

Also not working:  interior light, parking brake, speedometer/odometer.  Dashboard is cracked in three places but the upholstery, headboard and carpet are all in fairly good shape.  No driver's side seat belt.  Oil leaks, but the compression's not at all bad.  The car was originally white and has been rather poorly repainted.  The radio is the original and works, but speaker is new.  Glass in good shape.  Driver's side tail light cracked and poorly repaired.  Owner's manual and service manual come with it.  More pictures on request.

1973 SAAB 95 V4 Wagon

    

  • I have had her since she was new and I was young.  Wanted to restore her but just can't pull it off.  

  • 89,509 miles on odometer.  

  • It has had a couple of engines or rebuilds. 

  • Body is pretty good, some rust, dent in left rear side fender, a 6-inch tear in left side at bottom in front of right door, and bubbles on hood.

  • It has not been running for a couple of years, had, (I think it was), a fuel line fire which was quickly extinguished.  Fire damage seems to be around spark plug area and one fan blade is melted, but no other metal meltdowns and the rubber parts are mostly intact.  Before that, I had major repairs done. 

  • In September 2001 (86672miles) had the engine removed to replace gear shaft, fan drive gear, fan bearing assembly, gaskets, seals and clutch assembly was replaced. 

  • In Jan 2001 axle bushing for brake and clutch pedal repaired. 

  • In Nov 1999 (85352mi) the transmission was completely redone. 

  • Tires almost new when last driven. 

  • The registration is current and she even has the original manual. 

  • Interior: headliner intact, no tears.  Back seat and jump seat in good condition, there is one small 2" rip in back seat.  Front seats need work.  Inside looks pretty good apart from that. 

  • She had a supporting role in a Huey Lewis Video, "Bad is Bad" during the '80s. 

I'd love for her to go to a Saab fan who'd like to fix her up.

1970 SAAB 96

  

I hate to be posting this little car for sale because it’s like part of the family - but the time has come. 

My son and I have been working on this a little at a time for 8 years.  It has always been my son’s daily driver and it still is.  He is graduating from college and needs a car that requires a little less tinkering.  Because we’ve loved owning it we had Paul Vail from Absolute Saab rebuild the engine last spring - but a newer car is what we need.  The car is currently in San Diego where my son attends college.

Here’s a list of what we’ve done:

  • The car has 120200 original miles

  • Full engine rebuild at 115K incl new pistons

  • New Weber carb

  • Rebuilt alternator

  • New water pump

  • Custom built high capacity radiator

  • New stock exhaust system

Additional new or renewed parts:

  • Electric radiator fan and thermal switch

  • New coil and electronic ignition

  • Rebuilt starter motor

  • Rebuilt wiper motor

  • New brake master cylinder

  • New Clutch master cylinder

  • New Clutch slave cylinder

  • New Clutch and pressure plate

  • Rebuilt rear brake cylinder

  • New front brake pads

  • New front end upper and lower bushings

  • Front and rear seats custom reupholstered

  • New shocks all around

There is very little rust and the car has very good glass all around.

1959 SAAB 93B, Suicide Door Bullnose

Body is in great condition, no bondo, all original and straight.  Floors are solid with no cancer, only a little surface rust in a few spots.  Door panels and headliner are missing but the original seats are present with the vehicle.  The car has its original 3 speed trans, but it comes with an 850cc 3cylinder 2 stroke engine from another Saab.  Engine is complete and comes with triple carburetor set-up and single set-up.  Front bumper & rear driver-side window is missing.  The front windshield is cracked, but all other glass besides the drivers passenger window is in good condition.  Comes with extra windshield and rear axle assembly.  This is an excellent restoration project for your true SAAB enthusiast.  Any other questions, feel free to call me in the evenings or weekends.   I have had this car for six years, but other projects force this sale.   More pictures are available upon request.

1972 SAAB 95

This wagon has spent its life in the semi-arid climate of southern California and for many years it was stored in a barn under cover.  I bought it a few years back to restore and I've been slowly bringing it back to life ever since.  Now, it's time to let someone else finish what I've started. 

The current engine and transmission are from a ’72 Sonett that I bought from a guy for parts.  He'd had Bud Clark rebuild the whole drivetrain about 5000 miles before he smacked a light pole in a parking lot.  Both the transmission and the engine are in excellent running condition; the trans has a very low-mileage ring and pinion which was replaced during the transmission rebuild.  Carb is a Weber 34ICH, with most of the vacuum plumbing sorted out.  Manual choke, starts handily every time.  I’ve replaced all hydraulic components with the exception of the hard brake lines.  NEW parts include (4) tires, clutch disc, clutch master, clutch slave, brake master, wheel cylinders, calipers, pads and shoes, front hoses, and all ball joints, bushings and tie rod ends that were worn.  Front shocks are Koni and work well, rears are stock levers and need to be rebuilt.  The dash pad is practically like new and most of the seat vinyl is excellent with the exception of the driver’s seat bottom which is split.   The plastic coating on the rear deck is sun damaged in spots. 

There is NO ROT anywhere on this car.  There are a few very minor surface rust spots that could easily be cleaned-up by hand.  The underbody and rockers are totally solid.  All-in-all, if you ever wanted to restore a 95, this is the one to work with.  That's exactly why I bought it.  Now that it's running, and mechanically sound, attention can be turned to the cosmetic issues.

Needs:

  • Exhaust from midpipe back

  • Interior door panels redone - the backer board is broken in spots, the panels are currently out of the car

  • LF fender and turn signal assembly took a minor hit before I bought it -- a replacement fender is available

  • Body attention -- the clearcoat is peeling in places and there are quite a few little dings and dents

  • Rear shocks, leaky and bouncy -- they are rebuildable

  • Dash clock (missing)

  • Rear brakes drag a bit - it's likely just a weak return spring, or the e-brake mechanism is sticking

  • Windshield gasket and trim

  • Driver's seat bottom needs repair

1961 SAAB 93F

I have been thinking about selling my 93F for a while and now it will be offered for sale as I do not feel that I have the time and or patience to do a complete restoration as I had intended to do on this car.  Here is the skinny on the car:

It has sat for approximately 28 years under cover and has little to no rust and no known perforation.  There are a few very small bubbles on the body where the left rear fender joins, and there has never been any rust repair.  Body straight, all glass good.  Both doors dented, but again no rust.  850 engine and 4 speed were installed before car was parked and both believed to be good, engine free, but I have not run it, base engine, single carb.  GT750 interior panels, good in rear, door panels rough.  Car has a 96 GT750 serial number plate and is titled as a 1961 96 GT750.  Has the twin pipe GT or Monte exhaust system.  Mint 93F owners manual and the cool gas cap with the add oil gold sign attached.  Some extra spares.  Missing coil/ignition switch and the 93 emblem from trunk.  Car was running and driving when parked years ago.  Came from the Rick Wolf collection in Oregon, I bought it from a guy who bought it from Rick and hauled it up to Washington.

This would be a nice project car for a Saab collector.  The car is complete and original.  I have started the motor and cleaned the fuel tank but I haven’t driven it because the brake system needs to be bled.  This car has a 850cc three cylinder motor with three carburetors & manual transmission.  There is no major damage on this car; the worst dent is on the right door (see photo).  There is no rust at all, front seats are in good condition, rear seat and door need to be reupholstered.  It will also need new carpeting.  The VIN number is 371769.

  • Transmission a little noisy in second gear

  • Very small oil leak

  • Electronic fuel pump installed

  • Speedometer cable recently broke

  • Isn’t currently inspected, but passed fine the summer before last

This is a California car that I bought and drove cross-country in 1985.  I drove it for 1 year and parked it in my Dad’s barn.  It was made roadworthy again 2 years ago and has been driven in the summer months and stored in a barn in the winter months.  At the time of the purchase, it was cherry.

Cosmetically, the car has minor dings and a dent in the passenger side door.  In need of a new paint job. The upholstery on the seats had been redone and are still in fantastic shape.  The headliner was redone, but needs replacing.  The rear seats are in great shape and show no sings of UV deterioration.  A Blaupunkt AM/FM/cassette with equalizer has been installed in the glove compartment. The speakers are ADS and are mounted on the doors.  Stereo kicks ass.

Deal sweetener:  will include a set of Sonnet soccer ball wheel and lugs with the deal.

1967 SAAB 96

My beautiful, white 1967 SAAB V4 with 135,000 miles is for sale.  I needed a second car to haul my kids around in. I have owned it for 4 years and have driven it daily.  This car has never let me sit, has ALWAYS started, never overheated, and runs incredibly!!  

The heat works excellent with manual valve under the hood, brakes work great too. All the windows are in perfect shape and function as they should, all gauges work excepting the clock.  All dash lights function, too.  New tires in the past 2 years, new front resonator and manifold pipes.  Recent spark plug wire set. The interior is decent and the body is a B+ with little rust.  A few scabs here and there have been repaired along the way.  Looks like the original paint.  Someone repaired the passenger rear panel along the way too.  Driver's door has an impression / dent and a few small pieces of trim were off when I bought it.  Silver tape takes the place of the chrome trim in the pictures and has been this way since I bought it to keep out water etc.  New valve cover gaskets were put on at 126,000 miles.  I rebuilt the brake and clutch master cylinders a year or so ago.  New oil sending unit.  Comes with some spare parts as well: fan bearing, jack, spark plug wrench, thermostat, brake clips, points, oil filter, car cover, spare tire, hubcaps, owners manuals, and service manuals, misc.  Free wheeling was welded before I got the car.  The transmission works great!  Like all old cars, it leaves a little oil on the garage floor but nothing serious.  Doesn't smoke and neither did I.  No glove box.  Car has been put in the garage every night here in Pennsylvania since I bought it.  

Buyer must pick it up here in PA.  I wouldn't recommend a multi-state drive although it does hold it's own on the highway. The longest highway trip I took has been around 50 miles.  Feel free to e-mail with any questions.  I will call you back.

1969 SAAB 96

Little Red is a wonderful 1969 Model 96 which I bought two years ago and began to restore.  I have been driving him every day since then but I finished my schooling in Seattle and have moved back home to Alaska.  It would have cost me $1000 to ship him up here and I don't have that kind of money on hand so the car is in storage in Seattle until the first week in Nov when I return for a few days. At this point he can be seen and will have to be sold.

I put him on Ebay before I left in August and the $1800 reserve was not met so I put him in storage as I had to leave the next day to return to Alaska.

He is a wonderful car, very mechanically sound under aged paint.  He has a few spots of minor surface rust – most has been repaired.  Some around lower edge of the rear trunk and inside the passenger door had yet to be dealt with but it is not major.  Any spots of rust in the engine compartment, floor, driver's door, front fenders, trunk (inside) has all been cleaned and painted with por-15 rust preventative paint.  He has new boards for the trunk floor.  He has approx 107K miles on the odometer.

New within the last 7K miles:

  • front calipers and hoses

  • clutch master & slave cylinders

  • alternator (rebuilt)

  • water pump – new OEM

  • valve job

  • carb adjustment

  • rebuilt CV joints inner and outer

  • front and rear speakers

  • front end alignment

  • NOS reinforced Rally A-arms

He is very original – even to the point of not having an external aerial.  He has an original Saab windscreen and the interior door panels are original in great shape.  The previous owner had the headliner rebuilt before I got him and it is perfect.  He has all the trim pieces and a complete set of hubcaps and insignia. The seats are original with headrest inserts. There are covers on the seats as the vinyl is cracked but the foam and frames are in perfect shape.

The original paint is tired, the two radiator mounts need reattaching to the radiator, the exhaust is in good shape but needs some re-welding up-front where the down tubes join the crosswise pipe - no rust - just poor welds.  The windscreen washer pump is dead, tyres are ok but show some wear due to his prior misaligned front.  He has has a few dents and dings commensurate with his age but nothing major.

There is synthetic oil in the engine and Redline synthetic manual transmission lube in the tranny.  He comes with a factory workshop manual and an original owners manual and records back to the 90's.  I also have boxes of misc. parts which can go with him as well as a set of four wheels (winter tyres?). There is a spare (blue) trunk lid (no dents), axles/CV joints, seats etc.

This car has never let me down. He runs like a champ with a lot of get up and go.  He is zippy and draws a lot of attention.  The purchaser has first dibs on purchasing the following new parts I acquired to get him into tip top shape: Perfect dash - no cracks or marks of any kind, two rebuilt heads with hardened seats (not really indicated but I was going for it!), complete engine gasket set and a professionally rebuilt original equipment FOMOCO carb.

The car is currently licensed in Alaska and since he was located in Seattle - he also has a Washington State emissions certificate.  If you are interested, e-mail me soon as it will be first come-first serve when I return to Seattle to show him and sell him Nov. 1-3 ONLY!

1973 SAAB 96

50,000 miles of daily driving (and normal wear and tear) on a quite expensive complete restoration seven years ago; restoration photos and records available. Presently registered and inspected. Just had rebuilt front brake cylinder pistons, new seals, new front brake pads, and new Bosch platinum spark plugs.

New, over past 18 months:

  • exhaust system (complete)

  • rear brake cyl, springs, hardware, shoes

  • front brake rotors

  • clutch master and slave cylinders

  • windshield wiper motor

  • back-up light

  • brake light switch

  • radiator thermostat

  • cooling system flush and fill

The car had an engine-out engine and transmission rebuild 40,000 miles/7 years ago. The engine is the 1700 cc V4.  Parts are still available.  The following items were replaced 50-40,000 miles ago.  There is a new cam for improved lower-range torque.  New Weber 34ICH carburetor (manual choke), new distributor, electronic ignition, high output coil, ported heads, etc.  New clutch disc, plate, and throwout bearing.  The cooling system was reconfigured to recapture reservoir with electric fan.  Re-cored radiator.  New high-volume oil pump and drive.  New fuel pump, water pump and new water distribution fitting.  New brake master cylinder and hard line, rebuilt wheel cylinders and calipers, new parking brake cables. The upper and lower A-arms were reinforced (boxed), all new bushings, new snubbers and bumpers, new ball joints and tie-rod ends, front springs new NOS, rear springs replaced, new shocks (Bilstein front, Boge rear), front anti-sway bar installed.  Removable stainless-steel battery tray to facilitate front end alignment.  New windshield. The interior was redone as needed. The headliner and front seats are redone nicer than stock, the headliner in fabric and the front seats in MB-Tex vinyl with all new foam. The rear seat is original, as are the carpets. The Nardi wooden steering wheel is from a 1967 SAAB Monte Carlo rally model. The horn switch is now on the wiper stalk, with a dash button for windshield washer. New brake, clutch, and gas pedal pads. The car has a concealed Alpine detachable-face CD & radio system with front and rear speakers. Original owner's manual plus Haynes service manual plus much SAAB club literature.


Car currently needs: tuneup and valve adjustment; rear wheelarch rust repair; floor rust repair; mild crumple LF fender repair; LF parking light assy; general body and paint work. May need new tires to pass inspection in October. Windshield washer is balky.

These cars have bucketfuls of character and are great fun to drive. It is rare to see a SAAB 96 that is on the road, running and registered and inspected, that has so many new parts and so many components rebuilt, for this little money. The price is fair and realistic in view of the need to attend to body and paint issues.

I got this car for my 16th birthday.  Dad and I spent months getting it running and had a lot of fun with
it.  Now, 12 years later, the car has been sitting for a long time long time- about five years.  I have a great fondness for this little go-getter.  I would love to sell it to someone who knows what they're getting into, and appreciates how special it is.  If I had the space and time to restore it, I would.

This is a good running daily driver car that could be great with a fresh coat of paint.  I've owned this car for 4 years now and have done lots of work to all the major systems.  Some of the most notable work includes:

  • Rebuilt Transmission with all new bearings and synchros and a new clutch
  • Completely rebuilt brakes including master cylinder re-sleeved in brass, stainless brake lines, new rear wheel cylinders and rebuilt front calipers
  • Suspension work included rebuilt "heavy duty" rear shocks by Apple Hydraulics. The rear axle was repainted and rebuilt with new bushings. All new rear wheel bearings.
  • The engine has been gone through and includes new balance shaft bearings, all new seals, and a new water pump. Rebuilt heads with hardened seats. Jack Lawrence Holley 43mm performance carb and manifold. Entire exhaust replaced with new stock system within last 2 years.  Pertronix Ignitor Optical Ignition (no points).

The body is in good shape. There are some minor dents and very minor surface rust but there is no through rust or structural rust at all.   All instruments work well except horn and cigarette lighter.  The interior is in fairly good shape. All the seats are in good condition except the drivers seat has duct tape on the seat bottom. The headliner is in good condition except for 2 small holes from a mouse.  This car includes lots of spare parts including an extra rear door, spare rear opening windows, front chrome, master cylinder core, extra rear taillights, etc.

If you have any questions about the vehicle at all please do not hesitate to email or call me.

    I have owned this vehicle for about eight years, the vehicle has spent its life in Oregon.  The car has been a daily driver for years and has been crafted into reliable and economical driver and has undergone a "as-needed" mechanical restoration.  Some highlights include a completely gone-through engine, brakes, suspension, and drivetrain.  The "new" list is long; call or email for specs.  

Also included, the usual stack of spares and other hard-to-find goodies.  I have been gathering parts to do the body work and of course... when I get everything I need I find myself writing this ad.

Two 1971 SAAB 95s for sale

The tan one has 85,000 original miles and had been preserved by the oil method. I picked it up to replace the blue one in it's old age, then it was to restore it, but than my life changed. The blue one has 205,000 miles with engine and transmission rebuilt at around 130,000 and had a rust search and destroy mission around 122K, doors and fenders removed, rust blasted, treated, repainted and undercoated. The rear shocks were replaced at around 170K.  Both drove prior to their present resting spot. They get turned over yearly to pump the oil through, and the blue one actually still runs.  The tan one has a gas pump/float problem so it didn't start last year. They are still worthwhile for restoring. I had hopes of building a garage to work on them myself but having kids has greatly slowed down my ambitions of that.  I would like to find them a good home while they are still worthwhile.  I have many spare parts including tires and wheels, a front right fender, muffler, gas pump parts and more I can't remember in boxes in cellar.  I even think that there may be a radiator.  All the lenses are intact.  They reside in Barnstead New Hampshire and now that the snow is gone, they are accessible. They are presently up on blocks on top of tarps to cut down on the ground moisture.

Cheap to good home, with spares including a 1969 engine (presently installed) and transaxle with Sonett ring & pinion.  Was a daily driver until head gasket failure on original engine.  Both engines have stellite (Capri) exhaust valves and steel seats.  Original engine has 50mm Weber carb and electronic ignition while current engine has been ported and relieved and the flywheel shaved.  Car has Y-pipe in lieu of front expansion chamber.  Needs front bumper (pretty rusty), mid exhaust pipe, TLC and paint.  Body and interior are fair.

Presently located in San Francisco Bay area.  Can be driven but is noisy (exhaust pipe) and very heavy as all spares are in the trunk/cargo compartment.

1970 SAAB 96, fully restored & ready to go!   fully restored & ready to go!   white, ~130K 

This one is a strong runner. The bulk of the work needed is cosmetic and would be a bit of a project for the neophyte, but a fairly easy fixer-upper for the committed SAABaholic. I bought this car from an owner on the Olympic Peninsula here in Washington, and have since owned it for three years. I have done some minor repairs myself, but have entrusted most of the major repairs to one of Puget Sound's best vintage SAAB mechanics. I have full record of repairs done since purchase.

Problems: The interior in general is pretty rough. There is some leakage around the passenger door and in the boot (the boot lid should probably be replaced). The speedometer just recently cut out (I had to fix this when I bought it too). Odometer does not work now either. The car had 107K when I bought it. I'd say the car has between 120-130K on it now. Gas gauge works but is off by a quarter of a tank. Quite frankly, it appears that a previous owner did a lot of their own electrical work, and did not know what they were doing. Potential buyers might want to consider a general rewiring. AM/FM Cass. works but speakers should be replaced. Parking break cables have been replaced but break shoe needs to be rebuilt or replaced.

The Good News: Gearbox was rebuilt two years ago. Free wheel is totally functional (I have not used it much). New-ish break system and tires. Clutch seems pretty solid. Body is in very good shape. There are minor rust spots, but these have been patched up very well; work is visible only under careful scrutiny. There are a few dings but they are very minor. Bumpers are in good shape. This car was definitely never out east!

Other goodies: Set of heavy traction front snow tires. Electric rear window defroster (not installed now). 'Old School' Thule ski rack (a little bent but totally functional).

Final Thoughts: I bought this car with the hopes of restoring it to it's former glory, but like many other novice car buffs, I underestimated the amount of time, money and effort it would take to do this. Nevertheless, I have enjoyed this car immensely and have learned so much from owning it. It has been a very reliable and fun car and has never left me stranded. I have driven it up to the mountains to go skiing, out to the peninsula, and as far south as Eugene without a hitch. I am going to graduate school and need to 'consolidate' a bit so the car must go (though I'm not in a huge hurry to get rid of it). I'm hoping to sell it to someone who can give it the time and attention it deserves! Please contact me if interested:
