Craigslist Find: '74 Saab Sonnet III Project

Here's a funky take on a sports car options from the early 70's. This little Saab sports a 1700CC V4 that produced a whopping 65hp and made a blistering sprint from 0 to 60 in just over 13 seconds. Ok, it's a little light on the "sports" side but it is a very cool and fairly rare car. Total production numbers were just under 8,400 total units and this particular car has some options that are sure to make it even more rare. This is definitely a project and will require a great deal of patience when it comes to sourcing parts. You may need to find your own Obi Wan Kenobi of the Saab world just to understand some of the quirks these cars come with. We love the original green paint and the faded original stripes down the rocker panels so we would have a hard time painting over this great original patina.
