Speedysaab123 | Posted - 10 Aug 2018 : 21:38:01 Good evening everyone
Due to family commitments I have decided to part with my SAAB 96. I am going to really miss it and want it to go to an enthusiast that can cherish it and give it the time it deserves.
The car is in dedicated dehumidified storage so not in a rush to sell.
Its a solid 96 with the following spec, some of which has been added since last pics
Engine 1710 with pinto pistons. Block was diamond bored to crank centreline at the same shop that does 6R4 engines. (around £450- but spot on!!) Dynamically balanced crank with correct bob weights V6 rods Kent fast road cam Hardened valve seats Cross over manifold CT with jenvey throttle bodies and DTA management (Well over a grand in just these items) Fuel tank converted for fuel injection Lightened flywheel New thicker core radiator Alloy Rocker covers
Transmission standard but never given any trouble Converted flywheel and clutch for diaphram.
New brake master cylinder New brake calipers and discs plus good rear drums and new cylinders etc.
Full new sills both sides welded
New windscreen
Stainless steel bumpers
Compomotive alloy wheels
Dunlop sport tyres
Jetex exhaust
Sport and rally steering wheel
Custom built double adjustable shock absorbers
Only flaws
Little tear in headlining Some lacquer come away from front drivers wing Drivers door could do with reflatting as paintwork has sunk
I know prices have risen but I'm more interested in sensible offers from someone that will care for it. Also if the buyer ever sells - please would they consider me for first refusal as Im sure in the long term I'll regret this.
Ive just redone the throttle linkage to be more balanced and also changed the map to give some more resolution in the cruising rpm so it could do with an hour on the rolling road to finally setuo - I can organise and do this if needed.
Call me on 07957717393 if your interested!!
Thanks for looking! Rob

beardydave | Posted - 16 Aug 2018 : 07:01:16 I'd love to meet you and chat about the project.
I'm planneing eventually to do the same to mine so it would be good to hear the good, bad and ugly before starting! |
Betsy67 | Posted - 14 Aug 2018 : 09:54:34 Look forward to it |
Speedysaab123 | Posted - 13 Aug 2018 : 19:30:01 Yeah no problems
Let me get it tuned a bit then would be fun to meet up
Thanks Rob |
Betsy67 | Posted - 13 Aug 2018 : 12:40:16 Hi. Think I was talking to you at the Taddy car show last year ? Would love a a ride in this, just to see what can be done with the V4. I’ve got a 1.7 crank in the garage and before I go to the expense of a new motor rebuild it would be nice to see whether it will impress me enough vs cost etc. I’m near Ikea and will happily travel over. |
Speedysaab123 | Posted - 12 Aug 2018 : 22:24:10 After advice going to ask £7500 |
V4saab1966 | Posted - 12 Aug 2018 : 18:50:53 It’s not the picture I just want to know what sort of price you want for it as I wanted a 99T But a nice 96 also interests me . |

'73 96 (Vernon),'74 95 (Veronica)plus 4 other 95's and 2 96's |
Speedysaab123 | Posted - 11 Aug 2018 : 08:07:20 Not absolutely fixed to be honest
It’s obviusly had thousands spent so not nothing but don’t want to be silly either as I rather someone bought it to be used
I’ll try get some more pictures his weekend
Thanks Rob |
