"First and foremost, it's a big plus that the special wheels and sports steering wheel are still present and in good condition. The Saab 96 anniversary model has gained high collector status in recent years. It starts well, which is also a positive. The task for the buyer, apart from the usual service and inspection, will be to address the brakes that need attention as the car has been parked unused for a long time. Also, the front muffler needs replacement and the engine/fuel leak needs to be addressed. After that, one can go to the vehicle inspection and get a work order for safety measures. Then, it's up to the buyer how pristine they want it and set the bar for cosmetic adjustments. In this case, the interior is in unbelievably good condition, so that part doesn't need any work."

Description

According to some information, the highest chassis number of all manufactured Saab 96s should end with 2820. According to the chassis number, this car would then be number 254 from the end. The last approved inspection by the vehicle inspection authority was done in 1996. The car has been off the road and unused since then.

There have been 5 registered owners, including car dealers, since the car was new. The current odometer reading is 84410 km. We are not sure if it is accurate. However, we do know that the car has not been used in the past 27 years. So out of its 43 years of existence, it has only been used for 16 years. The original instruction book is missing. Spare wheel, jack, and wheel tool are included.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts easily and sounds very loud. The latter is due to a hole in the front muffler. We only took a short, very limited test drive as the brakes are not working properly, and the car rolls heavily. The brakes are in need of repair. The clutch and gears seemed to work normally. A leak is leaving small marks on the ground. We had difficulty locating the leak, but judging by the smell, it may possibly be gasoline leaking when the engine is running.

  • Interior condition:

    Very nice interior. The original sport steering wheel that came with the jubilee model is still present. Seat covers have been used on the seats. The covers were removed a few weeks ago, and underneath, the seat upholstery is preserved in almost flawless condition. Please see the pictures. The thin white plastic on the B-pillars has become brittle over the years and is flaking. The interior roof lining is in good and intact condition, but there is some slight discoloration on the sunshade on the right side. Please see the pictures. Original trunk mat is also present.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car has an older repaint that has some flaws due to time. The doors have a different shade. There are rust blisters in several places, including rust damage along the edges of the body and around the jack stand mounting points. There is a dent on the right rear fender. Please refer to the pictures for more information. There is beginning rust around the shock absorber mounting points in the trunk. The special Ronal wheels for the jubilee model are in good condition. The rear bumper is slightly misaligned, as shown in the picture. The hood latch cable is broken and has been replaced with a temporary solution, which required removing the grille. (Refer to the video on how to open the hood).

  • General condition:

    A good project car for those who want to own one of the last produced Saab 96 models. There are some remarks both regarding technical aspects and rust damage on the body. The exceptionally fine interior is a significant advantage.

Owner's comment

I am a true Saab enthusiast; Saabs have always been a part of my family. My dad used to drive two-stroke Saabs back in the day, and my first car was also a two-stroke Saab. I bought this car from a Saab enthusiast in Sandviken 7 years ago. The plan was to restore the car myself, but time is slipping away from me. What's especially exciting about this jubilee Saab is the beautiful interior and the fact that the spare wheel with the original decal is still intact. It also seems that the windshield is the original one, with the stylish green tint at the top.

Facts about the model

The jubilee edition of the Saab 96 was sold as the 1980 model year, even though the production was already discontinued in January of the same year. According to Saab, 300 cars were built, but the figure has later been corrected to 400 units. The special features included the model's unique color Aquamarine Blue Metallic, the blue plush upholstery, and the lightweight alloy wheels from German manufacturer Ronal.

All Saab 96 models of the 1980 model year were assembled at Valmet's factory in Nystad, Finland.
