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

Still no time to focus on the project – but here’s a little update on the car: After the first start we had some issues… Some of the carburettors were pretty clogged up, so the fuel flow was insufficient at times. The carburettors removed from the car. Pretty dirty looking setup… Time to take them… Continue reading Part 67. Running better
