This 1973 Saab 96 was delivered new to Sports Car Centre of Syracuse in East Syracuse, New York, and reportedly remained in the dealer’s ownership until 1990. The car was acquired by the current owner in September 2021, and it is finished in white over two-tone green upholstery. Power is provided by a 1.7-liter V4 mated to a column-shifted four-speed manual transaxle and a freewheel clutch. Equipment includes silver 15″ steel wheels with hubcaps, power-assisted front disc brakes, dual side mirrors, chrome bumpers with black bumperettes, rear splash guards, three-point front seat belts, and a VDO analog clock. This Saab 96 shows under 6k miles and is offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin, previous sales documents, a car show dash plaque, manufacturer’s literature, and New Hampshire registration.
The car was finished in Polar White (W1B) from the factory and features chrome bumpers with black bumperettes, dual side mirrors, rear splash guards, and “V4” decklid badging.

Silver-finished 15″ steel wheels wear Saab-branded hubcaps and are mounted with 165-series radial tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
