Given a Saab 96 - Now What?
Posted by Deno Gualtieri (more from Deno Gualtieri) on Sat, 13 Oct 2001 09:18:24
Greetings from a newbie to the digest and to older Saabs. I have just
been given a Saab 96 to test my engineering mettle. The car appears to
be mostly all there. This is what I know;
It appears to be very solid and must have been repainted. The rubber
seals around doors, hood and trunk are gone. It is missing some small
trim such as the chrome? slats at the front.
The clutch and brake pedals are on the floor boards and appear to be
stuck there. The serial # looks to be 177694. I have no idea as to what
year it is. It has a three cyl motor and a column mounted shifter. The
interior is in very good shape for a 40? year old.
The owner was a work associate who passed away 6 years ago. I think he
owned the car for at least 4 years prior, but never had it on the road.
He may have had a new or rebuilt motor put in it. I have a folding
wooden crate that came from Saab that looks to be the correct size for
shipping a motor.
So the big question is how do I start the renewal of this auto? Can
anyone direct me to a good manual source and part source? I live in SW
Connecticut if there is anyone in this area who may want to give me a
yell.
BTW The car must be unhappy with its new home. Two days after sitting
for 10+ years and being trailered to my place, it blessed my driveway
with a stream of antifreeze.
Thanks in advance,
Dino
