João’s 1964 Saab 96 restoration
João from Portugal sent me these photos of his 1964 Saab 96 two stroke that he is restoring. Looks great so far – I think it will look spectacular when finished!
Part 72. Front directional lights
The directional lights in front were not in a good shape. The plastic body was ok but the lamp sockets had rusted useless. I thought about finding new replacements but then a couple extra Saab 900 side directional lights came my way… The lights in the shortnose and the OG are similar in shape but… Continue reading Part 72.

Kummeli Stories – Saab 96 V6 “Rally”
A few pictures of a pretty wild Saab 96 V6 “rallycar” made for a movie called “Kummeli Stories”. There were two cars made, one that could be blown to bits and then reassembled again (and blown to bits again) and this “hero” version for the driving scenes.

Part 70. More stuff painted

Part 69. Various pieces painted.
I have finally had sufficient time to start painting the various parts that didn’t get painted last year: So, as you see from the photos I will not have the bumpers chromed. There’s not much sense in it since they were in a really bad shape and required extensive welding and repairs. Making them fit… Continue reading Part 69. Various pieces painted.
1966 Saab 96 Monte Carlos in Iceland
Egill from Island sent me these photos. He owned one of the two 1966 Saab 96 Monte Carlos imported to Iceland that year as new. Now, years later he has been able to track down and purchase both cars! The plan is to completely restore at least one of them, maybe both. Egill contacted me… Continue reading 1966 Saab 96 Monte Carlos in Iceland
Saab 96 V4 Rally – Ex Works Leo Kinnunen
Saab 96 V4 Rally car in the Neste Rally Finland 60th Anniversary Cavalcade. A few special stages were driven for show – not full speed. I was fortunate enough to get on the co-drivers seat on one special stage. Here’s some footage along the way.
