1970 SAAB Rally 96 V4  (SOLD!)

This auto was originally made as a promotional vehicle to increase Saab sales stemming from the Baja races.  It was originally sold in Elmhurst, Illinois and brought to California. I purchased it from the original owner in the mid-70’s with 86,000 miles on it. 

Six months prior to my purchase, the transmission was overhauled by Paradise Motors in Marin County.  Some time after the overhaul, the original owners were told that the car needed a valve job.  They brought the car to me for an estimate, decided that they didn't want to do the additional work and I purchased the car from them.  I used this 96 as my showroom vehicle and maintained it through my Saab repair business from 1973 - 2003.   The car currently has 96,550 miles on it, is currently fully insured and ready to roll!

Work performed:

This engine is strong and runs really well.  Stock Weber 2bbl carburetor, no accidents, no rot.   Please note that in some of the photos, I do have the hood up slightly on the safety latch.  I am also offering another 96 V4 to serve as a future parts vehicle for the new owner for $500.

This is a California/Arizona car with NO RUST.  

Originally sold through University Motors in northern California, #121 was purchased with it's sister car #122 as part of the Fly-n-Drive vacation with European usage.  Luckily, #121 was used by The Wife and never raced or wrecked -- as was the fate of car #122 (documented).

With modifications to the cooling system due to the Arizona heat, #121 has survived with the original dash, seats and a rust-free belly pan, INCLUDING THE BATTERY TRAY AREA!!!  The current owner has respected the car over the years and replaced many parts, most of which were New Old Stock (NOS) SAAB parts or proper quality third-party replacements.  The car features a state-of-the-art engine rebuild by Bud Clark with many modifications and improvements over the 1950's technology.  A great collector car that is sure to increase in value due to its rarity and solid condition compared to all others.  Here's a list of some of the work that has been performed on the car in recent years:

This car is ready to roll and some spare parts will be included.  
This is your chance to own a rare stroker Sonett that's ready to drive home!
