First start of a Saab 96

This Saab 96 -74 hasn't been started since who knows when and now we finally got it running again. The video is taken in Roninmäki in Jyväskylä (Finland) on summer 2006 and the guy starting the car is Ron.

I see you also own a Rambler American, from what I can tell in the video. In September I saw a red Saab 96 V4 for sale at the rod run in Pigeon Forge, TN. Believe it was a 1969. It was in good restorable condition with no rust. I liked it. It stood out from all the other cars for sale. I don't know what parts availablity is like though.

@zaidrim The Rambler -66 is in fact Ron's car - they guy speaking and starting/driving the 96er on the video. Hard to say about the parts availability f.ex. on the American continent, but at least in Finland, maybe in Sweden too, there are quite a many Saab collectors and from them it's pretty easy to find parts even for old 96ers.

It's still not fixed..

So, any plans for this 96?

This 96 came as a 'parts car' together with another 96er and it was full of 96er's parts. But it was too good just for parts and we are planning to fix it 'someday', not restore completely but just make it run again. It's not a huge or a 'hopeless' project. The 96er has been sitting on a parking lot since the day this video was taken, partly because of vandalism (somebody cut wires inside the car).

And.... Got it running yet?

One tip: Don't "crack" the gearbox too much during shifting. You'll wear out the bearings.
