Thread: Looking at a "mighty three"

Honestly, I'm going with the cheapest one there. It's a '67, so it has the early longnose front-end, best dash you could get in the V4, and the best steering wheel. Peeling clear coat is just a visual thing (the paint on the others looks much worse). Plus it looks like he gave the car a pretty good tune up (notice the new coolant hoses). The middle one isn't a bad choice either, besides the paint. You can get new taillight lenses from Skandix (https://ssl.kundenserver.de/www.skan...B=281014987=29). It says right side only, but I'm pretty sure they are both the same. The blue one is my third choice, just because the others are better.

My choices exactly

I would repaint it anyway. always loved them in gray, white or lime green

Opal green is a nice color on them... but you've got to have guts to have it.

UPDATE!
a good one too!!!

I am going with the 1967 (blue one)! he is sending the bank the title tomorrow so we can get everything moving.
a few reasons -
Cost - i will still have a lot of money left over to get the mechanicals sorted and get it painted. (love the opal green by the way, very sexy if it had black rally stripes!) i was thinking of Porsche nacht blau too but i think it is too much for a car like that.
Year - love the styling of the older cars. it is also the same year as the stroker i was looking at.

Bad thing is that it is the furthest away (Oregon) so transport will be around $1,100

Also i priced insurance - $95 a year! i pay that for a month on my 240!

Actually...would an older 96 look good in that green? i have only ever seen the "newer" ones in it...

Do you mean the white one? The blue one isn't a '67. At least that interior isn't. And the white one is a '67 and it's in Oregon.

Personally, I love the early long nose 96 is red.

Huh? This is the one i am talking about...
SAAB model 96 1967 V-4


It's not a 67'?

Whoops! It looked white to me! I thought you were talking about the blue one in the facebook photos.

My mistake.

So what ever happened of this?

Sorry it has been awhile, nothing good ever became of this. i could not justify the two stroke as a DD at this point and the only other V4 that was nice and in my price range was in Seattle so i am still SAAB-less.

In the mean time i bought a 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 as it was in my area, had a low price and is mostly road ready. i will be back to saab someday though!

Pictures!

You still happen to have your 900 that your parting out?

the car is not perfect and needs cosmetic work but it drives great.

Nooooo, i got rid of that a long time ago and sold my 1997 about 11/2 months ago. i still have a few parts kicking around though if you need something.

Getting rid of the Coronet already?

Haha yeah...I am thinking about it. It needs a new rear end and I don't know if I want to invest that much more into it on top of the other issues. That and I found a bunch of nice Volvo 240 around me. Still no 96 though...one in Finland for $850 hahaha.
