Description
Here’s something you don’t see everyday, This is my 1967 Saab 96 V4, it is swapped with a later model 69 1.7 V4, the engine runs great but the the rest of the drivetrain needs to be gone through, I have over 5k+ invested in labor in parts, not including my own labor, I’d like to get 3k obo I’m also open to trades for something that is running and driving, this vehicle will need to be towed and is located on the east side of the state ...
Our Take:
- Unique Engine Swap: Originally, the 1967 Saab 96 V4 came with a modest 1.5-liter V4 engine. This particular vehicle has a more powerful 1.7-liter V4 engine from a later model, which could make it a more lively drive. Engine swaps are a common enthusiast project, often undertaken to extract more performance or reliability from a vintage car.
- Iconic Rally Heritage: The Saab 96 has a rich motorsport legacy, famously winning the Monte Carlo Rally multiple times in the early '60s. That rally spirit, though maybe a bit tucked away in this project car, is still part of its DNA. It’s not just a car; it’s a piece of motorsport history.
- Distinctive Styling: The '67 Saab 96 has a design that stands out with its curvaceous, aerodynamic shape and small rearward-sloping grille. Its look captures the quirky Scandinavian charm, which might remind some of a simpler era in automotive design—perhaps even evoking images of snowy Swedish landscapes.
- Rare Sight on Modern Roads: You won’t often see a Saab 96 V4 on the road today, let alone one that’s been given a heart transplant like this. Its rarity adds an extra layer of allure for vintage car enthusiasts who appreciate the unconventional approach Saab often took in their engineering.
