Well, I stopped over and took a look. It hasn't been on the road in a while, and it shows. Most of the vehicle looks reasonable rust-wise, but it has a few areas of major involvement. The passenger rear fender is deformed; will need a lot to repair. No headrests, and I think single-circuit brakes. If memory serves, my 67 1/2 volvo 122s (WITH headrests and dual circuit brakes) was a 1/2 due to a change in US laws requiring those safety features at the time. So I'm guessing this Saab is either an early 67 or an earlier model year.
Does indeed have the 3 cyl 2-stroke, and a second spare in the cargo area... engine is smaller than a motorcycle engine or outboard, and the transmission (also a spare) isn't much bigger.
But the bottom line is, I'm too big to fit... I guess it wasn't built for 6'5'' Swedes. I was considering grabbing it for an electric car project I'm considering; small, lightweight, etc... but too small for me!
If anyone is interested, I can connect the dots for you... but I'm going to pass. I really want either an old p1800es or 122s wagon from the other Swedish marque.
