1974 SAAB SONETT III
1974 Saab Sonett Description:
Reportedby the previous owner to have been campaigned in SCCA autocross and rallycross, the Sonnet was purchased by the seller six months ago. Described as a good runner by the seller, the car is offered with a clean Nebraska title in the seller?s name. Though it is said to be free of any major flaws, the finish is said to contain several scrapes and touchups to the paint that are noticeable at closer inspection but after a nice wash & wax she shines nicley... Itis believed by the seller to have been involved in a front end accidentearlier in its history, resulting in the repair work shown in the gallery and the installation of a front clip from an earlier Sonett. Modifications to the suspension include Koni shocks and stiffer springs, resulting in a slightly lower ride height than stock giving her a nice stance... The interior shows very original with signs of wear & natural patina as well as carpets showing its age but in good shape... Seats and door cards are believed by the seller to have been recently redone... All interior instrumentation, controls, and electric accessories are functional as they should, the five-digit odometer read 33,810 miles and has likely rolled over according to the seller. The 1.7LFord Taunus V4is paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox and is said to remain unmodified apart from the installation of a Weber DCNF 40 carburetor, big bore exhaust, and an electric cooling fan paired with a temperature sensor for cooler operating temperatures. Serviced with a driver-side brake caliper rebuild, new pads, and bleed earlier in the year, issues noted include a slight leak from the gearbox, an exhaust manifold leak, and an initial squeak when shifting that goes away once the car is warmed up.Detailed photos of the cars underside and interior metal are included in the gallery below. The car is sold with several specialty SAAB tools, including a transmission dipstick, special spark plug wrench, spring compressor, owners manual, service books, maintenance invoices, and hub puller... | ||||
