1967 Saab 96

1967 SAAB 96 2-Door Sedan
One thing that historically has tied Swedish cars together is that they dont follow the crowd. When American manufacturers were building big-displacement muscle cars, SAAB was experimenting with two-stroke three cylinder and four stroke V4 engines in aerodynamic bodies for maximum efficiency. The SAAB 96 was produced between 1960 and 1980 and represents some of the companys most unique engineering solutions, in a shape that looks like nothing else on the road. This example was built in 1967 and is believed to be an all original and unrestored example.
Finished in Beige, the 96 was a re-styling of the previous 93, but with a longer hood to accommodate for greater engine choices. The car sits on a set of steel wheels, wearing factory wheel covers, and chrome bumpers are fitted front and rear with overriders. At the rear, pop-out windows allow for nice pull-through ventilation, and SAAB branded mud flaps sit behind the rear wheels
The interior is very simple and quite attractive, with the seats wrapped in brown cloth and a white painted dashboard that houses a 100 mph speedometer, fuel and water temperature gauges, which are all trimmed with chrome. To the left of the driver sits heater controls, while an under-dash radio is off to the right. In front of the driver sits a large 2-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring, and a column-mounted shifter for the 4-speed manual gearbox.
Powering the 96 is a 1498cc four-stroke V4 that was sourced from Fords Taunus line of engines. SAAB was so confident in the durability of the engines, that they offered the first owner a lifetime warranty which applied during their ownership, at a cost of $50. This 60-degree V4 produced 73 horsepower (SAE) and 87lb-ft of torque (SAE), which was plenty of power to cruise at highway speeds.
If you want to add a classic to your garage that you will likely never see another one like it on the road, this SAAB 96 could be just the car for you. With its unique looks, interesting powertrain and pleasant interior, this is a car that will get questions every time you are out in it.
