1972 Saab 96 $1500 -NMNA

I should have go buy this one, but I'm posting it here for you guys to drool over.

Linky

Looks pretty rust free from these pics.

Damn, I was hoping it would be farther away from me.

In reply to EvanB :

It would look good parked next to your swedish 240-truck

Holy Moses, it even runs?

I've been casually keeping my eyes on these lately. That's a bargain.

I’ve never even sat in one of these, come to think of it I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one in person, yet I feel a strong need to own one. 

Bulletproof engine.

That does seem like a great price for a running car.  The column shift 4 spd is so much fun.

I can't believe you didn't buy it.   

I need one of these in my life

Evan, let me know if you go look at it. You know how I need another old Swedish car in my yard.

In reply to hobiercr :

Well now I feel like I have to go look at it. 

I have been wanting one for awhile and I don't think I'll find a running one for cheaper than this. 

In reply to EvanB :

I agree, it's pretty cheap.

And relatively close

Well I started googling old Saabs and found this.

I think it would be 2 stroke?  this would make an awesome summer daily.

Ugh, this is danger close to me.  Sadly I'm poor and have two non-running Saabs already that need to get back in service. 

79rex - If it's a 4 cyl its a 4stroke V4 Ford engine; I can't remember when the strokers went away; I'm sure Powar knows the details, though. 

Strokers were gone by the late 60s i believe. I haven't heard back from the seller yet.

(Pretty sure it's a 93, but still one of my favorite pictures)

According to wiki, '68 was the last year for the strokers.

Fingers crossed that you hear back from the seller!!

Looks like there are a couple of 93's in there.

Good eye.  I hadn't even noticed that.  That is somewhat local to me.

Did you ever hear back? 

Never got a response. 

It probably sold in 15 minutes and the lazy bum hasn't taken it down.
