"This 1963 Saab GT 850 with factory-installed sunroof was built in only a handful of examples; it’s reportedly the only known survivor. The car retains its original body, is virtually rust-free in its structure, and is largely complete. Missing original parts have been sourced and fitted, and it’s now in pleasant, useable condition—though there are cosmetic blemishes and details that merit attention."

Beschreibung

This car was exported and first registered in the USA in 1963. It was brought home to Sweden via CS Autoparts in 2022 and registered here on February 5 2025. It’s an early example with a low chassis number built for the US market. Reportedly it served as a demonstrator for American dealers and left the factory “fully loaded.” Notably, the earliest GT 850s carried no fender badges, though this one did have a special rear-deck emblem—not identical to the 1964 badges, even if they look similar. After its import to Sweden, the original US owner was traced, so the car’s provenance is well documented. From the early ’70s it belonged to “the biggest” Saab collector in Pennsylvania, then was sold to California and remained on the road there until 2016. It was repainted in the early ’80s, after which it passed to a collector in New York State and then to one in Illinois before returning here. In Sweden, the engine and gearbox were rebuilt by expert Saab mechanics. The fuel tank has been replaced, and the car has new brakes and tires. The sale includes the full history file plus a good spare hood and trunk lid. Newly inspected, taken in traffic, and ready to drive.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand

  • Zustand technisch:

    Starts easily and runs smoothly in both engine and drivetrain. Most components have been serviced and work well, with a pleasant tone and operation. It’s been inspected underneath on a lift, and the vital areas appear solid. There is a small rust hole by the trim on the left rear fender. The trunk lid has bubbling at the bottom—however, a good spare lid is included.

  • Zustand Interieur:

    Reportedly, the car is largely in its original specification, showing some patina and normal wear for its age. It offers good comfort in the front seats and rear bench, with the textiles, door cards, and trim panels all in good order. The headliner and sunroof are in good condition; the sunroof crank isn’t original, but an original replacement is included. The steering wheel, controls, dashboard, and gauges are all original and fully functional.

  • Zustand Exterieur:

    Repainted in the early 1980s in its original color. In good condition with a “used” patina. The glass, trim, badges, and lighting details are in good order, showing varying wear and minor blemishes. The wheels and hubcaps are in good shape and fitted with tires from 2024 and the have been driven 300km.

  • Zustand gesamt:

    An early “short-nose” 850 GT is a true classic and a highly coveted enthusiast’s and collector’s piece. With its factory-fitted sunroof, documented provenance, and delightful, well-functioning everyday patina, this car is genuinely unique. There may be examples in more pristine condition, but few can match the charisma this one exudes.

Fakten zum Modell

The Saab car business first saw the light of day in 1947, and the first model, the Saab 92, borrowed much of its design from the company’s aviation activities. When the 92 eventually, through various stages, became the 96 for the 1960 model year, you could still see traces of its 1940s roots even as it steamed confidently into the ’60s with the 96.

The Saab 96 which replaced the 93 F, made its debut in Stockholm on 17 February 1960—ushering in a new decade. It was essentially the same car up to the A-pillars but featured an entirely new rear section. It also received a larger engine and a revised dashboard—altogether making it, in effect, a new car and a genuine step into the 1960s. The powerplant now delivered 42 hp, the rear window was 117 % larger, there was room for three in the back seat, and the luggage compartment was more spacious. For the 1963 model year, the grille was updated to accommodate the Saab emblem. Interior trim details were refreshed, and a more efficient heating and ventilation system became hallmarks of the new cars. On the Saab Sport variant, the 96’s instrument panel was adopted (whereas previously it had retained the 93’s), now featuring large, round speedometer and tachometer gauges. The glove-box door was fitted with a pull-handle, though there was still no “speedpilot.” As the year before, output was 52 hp and front disc brakes were standard.

When Saab later launched the new 99—and subsequently the 900—many believed the 96’s run was over, but like a phoenix it continued to receive updates over the years and soldiered on all the way into the 1980s.

In January 1980, the 96 era finally came to an end. The last car off the line, on 8 January, was driven by rally legend Erik-Carlsson to the Saab Museum in Trollhättan. The final examples were sold that spring, with only 967 units registered in Sweden.

In total, some 547 221 examples of the Saab 96 are reported to have been built.
