I own 6 Saab's at the moment, 73 Sonett III, 83 900, 88 900T, 89 900T, 90 900T, and an 88 900 SPG. My AIM s/n is zingZACH.  Feel free to call, write, or stop by my house :) hehe...

I have a 1966 96 and 1972  Sonett and a small garage with enough tools to rebuild both cars.  Glad to help out if you get stuck on one of our crowded little highways.

My best advice, stay away from Routes 128 (95) and 93 at rush hour.

Take ferry from Cape Code, Rte 6

Emergency Lodging

We are 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, so chances are you won't be "just passing through".  A 3 hour ferry ride from Hyannis will get you here.  If anyone is interested in a weekend destination, please let me know. A vintage caR show/parade/picnic is held every year on "daffodil weekend" usually the third week of April. We have lots of room for you and your car. Tools and limited parts available.
