Oh, now this is so cool to see all the SAABS, I just love these cars and having owned many starting with two 96's with two stroke engines, I can really relate to this Thanks fo such great videos
@ The V-6 is an engine also made by Ford of Germany, the V-4 is common engine for the 96 from mid year 1967 having replaced the series of 3 cylinder 2 strokes. The V-6 was never a factory option but rather a custom install. Both the V-4 and the V-6 were the German Ford Taunus design and build. Many of the V-6's here in the USA were put into the Mercury Capri's and Ford Pinto's and I think the old Mustang II
And still, that boring FWD saab were the rallycar to beat for over 20 years, winning many big internationall rallys in 60 and 70. 750cc 3 cylinder 2-stroke were faster than big horsepower RWD porsches, mercedes, fords and won the montecarlo 2 year in a row. And the 99 turbo is the first ever turbocharged rally car to win a world rally in 1979. The swedes should be greatfull for what littel saab achieved back then, made the car world look at sweden and found the other car maker volvo.
@@swemx7403 i sure did didnt i. Well Well i am sure you know that RWD Saabs convertions are nothing new and there are a lot of videos here on youtube. And the blue 99 sleeper with 700hp and 4wd, thats like 10 year ago.
Old Saab's are built to be run in snow and slippery gravel roads and they are the perfect car for that and really fun to drive in the winter because they behave almost like a rear wheel drive car if you use the Scandinavian flick and tap your left foot on the break while holding your right foot on the throttle while you go around a corner if you want a rear wheel car why not by buy a Volvo or something?

That's wicked the sounds of the 2 stroke love it thank you 😃👍
So cool, my father loves these! Thank you! 😀
Ah, det här är bra
saab is just the best and this video easily top 5
My uncle used to rally them. Lasse Gustafson
The Sonett is clearly my favorite.
It's a shame we don't got a lot of footage on them! :(
@@SwedishRally Not many left I would guess.
The Sonett runs great !
3:48 sååå kör man SAAB. Jag startade själv min rallykarriär i en V4. Tyvärr dog den när min svåger körde den och högg skog med den....
There are.. many of these vehicles remaining around there, right? Or maybe these drivers are very experienced, confident, or both?
Medellivslängd 11 år, men de var roliga att köra... 🤫😁
23:54 😍😍
The SAAB 96 can have three cylinders? I didn't know that before.
I was not aware of that either, I had to fact check it and sure enough, 3 cyl 2 stroke between 1960-1968
@@SwedishRally Okay. Also I've heard the SAAB 96 V6 are rare models too.
@@SwedishRally Sounds like a moped. :D

@ I have never heard of a v6 from factory... Are you sure?
Sadly missed
It's boring that none of the Saabs (Stock and original) is RWD.
Saab 99 would do perfect as a RWD rally car.
