Description

The first model year of the Saab Sport was 1962. This model has been extensively renovated with great care and attention to detail. The owner had previously competed in rallying and was intimately familiar with the Saab 96. He spent time after retirement renovating some of Saab's flagship models. Several of the cars have won first place prizes in competitions. The car has been completely dismantled and meticulously renovated. What the owner didn't think was good enough has been renovated or replaced with new components. The car was completed and re-registered in 2019,   older registration certificates are included "see pictures" .
During the renovation, the speedometer was reset and now reads 00905 kilometres. Saab Sport is inspection-free and ready to drive. Since the renovation, the car has been kept in a heated garage and is now being sold by the owner's family since he died.
After checking with Saab museum manager Peter Bäckstöm we can confirm that the chassis number 163628 is collect for an 1962 original Saab sports car. However the body has parts from an 1964 model as a rustfree body and good interior from 1964 has neen used for the restoration.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The 841 cubic-inch engine has three Solex carburetors, one for each cylinder, producing 52 horsepower instead of the regular 38hp. The transmission featured a 4-speed, which was one more than a standard 96. To help stop the car, disc brakes were fitted, which raised some eyebrows in 1962. The engine and transmission have been completely rebuilt, and the car has only travelled 903 kilometres. According to the owner's notes, the crankshaft alone cost SEK 15,000 to renovate. It gets off to a good start with plenty pf pwer. Everything has been restored and overhauled, including the brakes and chassis. Instrumentation Jige in Leksand renovated the speedometer and clock. In a nutshell, everything is in technically in the best condition.

  • Interior condition:

    A Swedish sports sedan's experience was complemented by a wooden steering wheel and spherical instrumentation, including a tachometer. Only Saab Sport and Monte Carlo cars have such a lovely interior. It's in great shape and has been well-maintained. The only part of the seat cushion that has shown some wear is the rear seat cushion"see pictures". Original spare wheel with contemporary diagonal tyre, jack, and triangle are all included.

  • Exterior condition:

    The body has been dismantled and painted both inside and out. There are a few of dust marks in the paint on the roof. But the car has not been polished after the repaint. Nicely detailed engine compartment. New bumpers, New rubber seals and fine decorative moldings. A small dent can be seen on the threshold on the inside, when you open the door as well as a weld on the inside of the driver's door. Equipped with aftermarket aluminum wheels and new tires.

  • General condition:

    Overall, a car in the best collector condition and a rare model these days
    The car was restored 2017-2019 with parts and ID from an original Saab Sport 1962 and a rustfree body from 1964..

Facts about the model

Saab Sport var en specialmodell av Saab 96 som lanserades 1962 som ersättning för Saab GT750. Sportmodellen presenterades på Stockholms bilsalong i februari 1962. Det här var första gången Saabs sportiga Gran Turismo-vagn såldes i Sverige, eftersom GT750:n aldrig sålts i Sverige den officiella vägen. Den hade samma kaross som Saab 96 men annorlunda inredning och utrustning. Baksätet var en enklare variant, som hade gott om utrymme i särskilda stuvfack i botten för rallyutrustning, såsom extra reservdelar och snökedjor. På utsidan var skillnaden gentemot standard-96:an de dubbla kromränderna längs karossens nederdel, extraljusen och de annorlunda navkapslarna. Motorn var en 841 kubikcentimeters trecylindrig tvåtaktsmotor med tre Solex-förgasare som gav 52 hästkrafter mot 38 som standard. Motorn smordes via en separat oljetank, vilket innebar att man inte manuellt behövde blanda olja i bensinen (som på standardmodellen). Växellådan hade fyra växlar. Saab Sport hade också skivbromsar fram, något som var ovanligt vid tiden. Fälgarna var fyrbultade istället för fembultade som på standard-96:an. På bland annat USA-marknaden kallades vagnen GT850 (analogt med den tidigare 750:n), men efter Saabs framgångar i Monte Carlo-rallyt byttes beteckningen till Monte Carlo 850 fr o m 1964. Sport-modellen förändrades parallellt med vanliga Saab 96. Noterbart är att den trimmade motorn försvann i och med fyrtaktsmotorns intåg till årsmodell 1967. Modellen kallades då Monte Carlo V4 och skilde sig endast åt från standardmodellen i utrustningshänseende.
