Hi all, Matt the owner here. many thanks to CarSmarts! I fixed the floating hood since that video was shot!

What a fantastic car! That thing is a dream come true!

This is awesome! I've been driving my first car to this day, a 9-3. My dad used to have a 900 turbo and I was absolutely obsessed with it. I became a Saab guy, I'm currently trying to find a 9-3 wagon and a 900 with minimal rust (I live in the midwest, most 900s are rotted out😢)

Great Video! I too have a 1971 Sonett III. Mine also being in about the same original condition... Same color too! They're great little cars. They're not a performance car by any means but sure are up to par with a very nice 70s sports car! The attention they get is incredible!

Also got a "brand new" OEM front bumper since then.

Nicely done!

Very cool. I have a 1971 Sonett here in L.A. that I drive once or twice a week. Can't take it out without a conversation or three from people wondering what the heck it is, even though the license plate is "SAAB 71"

[@carsmartsmedia2324]

Honestly, before I met Matt (about 5 years ago), I had never seen one (even after living in L.A. for 20 years!). Now I'm a fan!

@@carsmartsmedia2324 I also have a ‘69 Saab 96 in very good shape if you ever get the hankering to shoot another video.
