Description

For sale is our four-stroke V4 (!) 1973 Saab 96 with a clean Kansas title in my name. Selling because I have another Swedish car demanding my attention. About: - Last year ever sold in America! - A four-on-the-tree (yes, 4!) transmission, paired to a West German-made Ford V4 - It's like a Saab Sonnett, but less cool. Or more cool. I don't know. - Original wheels, engine, transmission, and body. Some paint respray occurred at some point. - Runs and drives just fine - if you live in KC, you'...

Our Take:
  • 1973 marked the end of an era for Saab in the U.S. The Saab 96, with its distinctive design and resilient character, bid farewell to the American market this very year. Known for its quirky charm, the model had a well-earned reputation for performing in adverse conditions—ideal for those nostalgic for a vintage Scandinavia-on-wheels experience.
  • Uniquely quirky engineering: This model features the rare "four-on-the-tree" manual transmission, paired with a rugged Ford-sourced V4 engine. The setup might seem as unusual as an ABBA cover band at a jazz festival, but it's part of what makes driving a 96 a conversation starter. It's not every day you see such an engineering collaboration between Sweden and West Germany!
  • Heritage wheel magic: It’s like the everyman’s Saab Sonett! This car has the original wheels, engine, and transmission intact—a rarity in the vintage car world, where modifications often run rampant. With some paint resprayed, it retains an authentic look that speaks volumes to purists and collectors alike.
  • A charming survivor: Though it does sport some rust and quirkiness, including an exhaust that sings louder than your average carpool karaoke session, this Saab 96 still runs remarkably well. It's kind of like a lovable uncle who’s always got a story to tell, even if he sometimes speaks a tad too loud. With recent maintenance on the clutch and new tires, it's ready to show off its spirit on the road.
