If someone wanted to get into goofy 2-stroke V-4 front wheel drive Swedish cars, this seems like a decent way to go about it. Nice price.

V-4's are goofy, but they're not two strokes.

I knew a guy who raced an earlier yellow one of those. So cool in a dorky way.

Aren't they the ones that quit oiling when you coasted, or was that much earlier?

My bad, late night CL surfing for sub $1000 cars messes with my Otto cycle...

I raced one, pretty fun car. I heard a turbo from a Corvair screws right on.

These are the 4-stroke engines bought from Ford that evolved into a V6 that got morphodited over the years in its use from the Capri all the way to the SOHC 4-liter used in various things like the Ranger.

And that is what the relation a SAAB has with a wheelbarrow.

If I was close I would so be picking this up today. One of these is on my short list of cars to own. They are tough to DD in FL without AC but I love the styling.
