Having owned a Saab back in the 1980's, I would be surprised if this one didn't come back to life with little to no effort. The Saab is truly a remarkable automobile, I enjoyed driving every mile in the two door hatchback I once owned. A testament to just how remarkable the Saab actually is, I bought my 1985 hatchback used from a registered nurse in Florida, she was buying a new Saab convertible. The car had 107,000 miles on the odometer, none of the four tires matched, as they were all made by different manufacturers. I installed two new CV joints, a new clutch plate, four new Perelli Tires, and I drove it, drove it and drove it. This Saab was my favorite car, even after all these years. PS: I never had the chance to meet the nurse who owned my Saab prior to me, but I always wanted to. She obviously loved her Saab, mismatched tires included. This is evident by her buying a second one. Best Wishes to all my fellow Saab lovers. Sonny P ( U.S.A. )

This is in fact my deceased uncle's Saab. So what a coincidence I happened to spot this video. Have went with him numerous times in that car in the seventies...

I grew up with a newer version of this car. We had a Battleship Gray 1968 SAAB 96 with a Ford built V-4 engine. It was a very well built car and way ahead of its time (especially here in the US). I loved the 4 speed column shifter with its very precise shifting (American column shifters were very sloppy and often got jammed between gears). The “free-wheel” centrifugal clutch release was another great feature on this car, you could lock it out with a lever under the dash. Front wheel drive was quite unusual back then and it made that car great in the snow. The Ford V-4 SAAB used was an excellent engine, FoMoCo should have brought that to the US to use in their cars instead of that in-line 4 cyl they used. Neat car!

Brilliant ! Surprised the wheels revolved, thought the brakes would have stuck on,unless the hand brake was off ! That will clean up well ! Lovely.

I have only ever seen one of these Saab cars on the Road here in New Zealand. It was a 1977 model in good condition. It stood out as it was being driven down the street, because of its unusual shape.

That beautiful SAAB deserves to go a couple more kilometers. Congratulations for your dedication and work. Cheers from Chile, South América!. 👏

Had a friend he was the only Saab mechanic in south jersey usa. Incredible mechanic!

Fantastiska räddare ni är av en ekonisk bil. Tack för det å sååååå vacker bil!❤️❤️

Wow this my best friend Don's Saab. When we were 17 we drove all over Vermont skiing. Saabs also loved by North Country rural mail carriers who had to deliver on unplowed country roads. First FWD till the Tornado came along. The Saab could plow through the highest snow banks with only summer tires. They also had amazing heaters. Great memories, sad GM destroyed the brand and they went defunct.

Beautifully designed automobile ♥️

I watched first vid on the earlier 'bullnose' Saab some months ago. This vid came up and I decided to subscribe, because I want to see the progress of these beautifull cars of my childhood.

Ni har stött på en riktig bra guldgruva😍 ska bli kul och se när ni startar bilen :)

Hi, you have shown us two beautiful old Saabs in apparently EXCELLENT condition, will you be posting further videos if you intend to restore them? Thanks for sharing and best regards from Ireland.

I found a very similar looking Auto Union car several years back that had a 3 cylinder DKW 750cc two stroke motor in it. It was in excellent condition much like this Saab is. I knew a guy who drove Saab 60's model cars with the V4 engine and local guy drove an old Sonnet for a long time.

In 1984, as I passed thru Kota Bharu, Capital Of Kelantan, I saw a maroon colored SAAB. Right Hand Drive, unsure of engine model. They are good, but not really tropicalised like Japanese autos. I sure like to spend retirement in summer and pottering around the yards and the poking around the well preserved structure of the barn, which accounts for the non rust of the SAAB. Restoration is the jewel of my retirement. Congratulations on the find, original keys too. Salud.

I dont know what all the anti Saab propaganda is about.. especially when its from people who have never owned one. My old man had a 1999 saab 900 the thing was solid. I decided to follow in his footsteps and I purchased a 2010 Saab 93 Aero TTiD4. Such a fine machine it is.

Looks in good shape. Should be easy to get back on the road in no time.

Incredible barn find, wish it was a Porsche or of that era, but still its a amazing survivor, please don't over restore it.

Pleasepleaseplease....DON’T RESTORE!!!.....keep her as is.....fix what is necassary....AND DON’T TOUCH THE REST!!.....a restoration....or even worse...a ‘restoration’......would cost in between a fortune....or even more. And rend you a car comparable to any fixed up pile of scrap.....maintain ORIGINALITY by not messing with it!!!!!....there is a fine line between making everything work...which is good!!....and loosing the patina.....which is a loss forever....

I'm waiting for the Next video. I LOVE the car. Arturo from Barcelona ( Spain)

How totally cool 😎 is this! I’d love this car! I even love the colour 😁

I want one so bad.

Great car, fun to see that you rescue it!

Sjukt att det gick att fylla däcken och att den rullade. Svensk kvalitet. Spännande att se fortsättningen

I wish I had one, those are sharp.

Nice rescue, I hope it finds itself back on the road :)

I had the same car but in black and grill was different ws a 1960 I believe. 3 cyl, 2 stroke, total of 7 moving parts in engine. Also had 3 speed column mounted shifter with free wheeling. So if going downhill rpm dropped to idle speed. Weird but very cool little car.

Great Resque Job.

now thats a real barn find happy motoring

Mkt jobb ibland för att få ut en fin gammal saab. 😍

What a glory! Good luck with that one, it looks lovely.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Good job!!! Hilsen fra Spania

Let's just hope that there's no damage, done to this car; in spite of the fact that it hasn't been outside for a good long time. Did there have to be a drive way, laid out for this old timer Saab 96V4? It however still took a long time, to have it up and running again. ⌛️

I think this is a beautiful find, whom ever ends up with it. - take good care of her - so to speak - most sincerely....

Fantastic find

5XSaabOwner: Where's the damn turbo LOL

Хорошее видео, хорошая машина

I am 15 year boy and since childhood i dream of doing this things and even today😊

Such a cool car !

Incredible find! Having given it a wee bath, and looking over it, it would seem that you only need to change out a couple of parts and it should roar into life. This will indeed make a very interesting project. What's great about this is that it seems like it was very well taken care of over its life when in use.

My passion! Congratulations ♥️

my grandfather owned a 2003 Saab 2 door convertible which he actually sold to someone else.

Bra jobbat.

Wonderful🎉

Super ciekawe gratulacje pozdrawiam serdecznie &&&

oh nice!!! great video and next startig:)

Awesome! It’s so small compared to the Volvo. Greetings from Holland.

SAAB com um design muito bonito 🇵🇹

sweeden must be beautiful in summer

Anche questo è un bel ritrovamento..ottima auto 😊

I like the fact you didn`t fully air the tired tires, i know they can explode, may explain the ear protection?! lol

Vilket tryck våga du pumpa i de gamla däcken? var försiktig med sånt, kan smälla

Grymt fin! Hur hittar du alla dessa bilar?

Cool gammal bil. 😊

synd att du inte berätta ngt om bilen eller prata osv .. annars bra gjort

Whoa, Dad had a 93, and a 96!

Made in Finland 1969-1980 Saab-Valmet Uusikaupunki Finland

That engine looks like the Sport model, with 3 carbs instead of 1? If so, pretty rare. What a find and hope it's back on the road soon. There are still a few taking part in classic rallies in the UK, their distinctive "ring-a-ding" engine note and oily exhaust makes them stand out from the crowd. I owned a single carb model for a few years in the early 70s, fantastic to drive and my late uncle had a series of V4s before moving onto 99s and 900s. He said that the German built V4 engine was better than the UK type and they could be told apart by the position of the distributor, one had it at the front of the Vee and the other was at the back, I don't recall which was which, can anyone shed light on the difference?

Kul bil att få följa i renoveringsarbetet. Hur går det med din P1800, finns det någon video om den?

Claes känner man igen. Länge sen man träffa han. Var min arbetsgivare i 26 år😁

BEAUTIFUL HUNT,,, WORTH SAVING IT... WELDONE

I like this car

Är den tillverkad 1967 är den en raritet då v4 motorn tog över det året. Troligtvis är det än 1966 som var osåld och uppgraderades till 1967.

Two brains at work, clap clap clap clap.... 👏 Clap!

Jag hade en Saab 96 men ombyggd motorhuv . Ovala Ford Taunus ljus ( Thomas Bergelin) i Danderyd byggde den

I knew what the key looked like

Häftigt!

Lataria tá perfeita

Sensational

I want it, but im in Florida

Look at the Sterings weel. There is an airplane in it.

Уникален автомобил.

There was another similar video on here but I'm sure the doors opened backwards !!!

A treasure car

Carro bonito

It's age can't date too far back past the late 60's because it's Left hand drive. I believe Sweden changed from Right hand to Left hand drive in the mid 60's. Unless it was designated for export.

Next pls....😥

Den RW tvättar

it was probably abandoned for a reason , 2 stroke , really !

Det såldes bara 28 tvåtaktare i Sverige av årsmodell 1967.

Hoppas man får se resultatet?
