I think this website serves that purpose well. You are really looking for a family history with the last name Saab, so you may look to an ancestry website instead of an automobile one. Good luck. Ryan Ricardo,

Good luck.

I'd love to correspond with you if you'd like. I have so much more to tell about the 2 strokers. I actually owned a yard full of parts cars back then, including a pair of 93's with the suicide doors. (one was nearly mint, rust wise.....hindsight is 20/20....I'd kill for that car now!) And way before that, my uncle drove the early cars when they were new. (I have a black and white photo of myself, as a barely walking-age baby, standing in front of his white '63) At one point collecting parts, I inherited the old factory service manuals for the 93 series, I BELIEVE they still exist at my dad's house. Im just so enthused to find a site so dedicated to more than the GM owned recent cars... (sorry, but I have no interest after GM's influence) sustain@frontiernet.net if you have any interest in interacting, or can steer me to a 96 2-stroker! Ryan, Ive read a bit more on this site.

I have MUCH yet to read and check out. But Im so happy to find it all, I had to make a comment. My first car at 16 years old (in 1973) was a Saab 96. My friends wanted Mustangs and Camaros, but when it snowed, my Saab was the car that made it up the hill to our high school. I have this great memory of one friend, driving a Gremlin, stuck sideways at the bottom of the hill. I barely spun a wheel as I drove around him, laughing and giving him a 'beep beep'. That Saab took me through high school and 2 years of college before the poor thing gave in to the ravages of upstate NY's salty winters. I was hooked on Saabs and front wheel drive when everyone I knew still considered both an oddity. I had a V4 95 wagon after that, but it was never as much fun as the 2-stroker. Tried to stay in the family after that but $$$ and Saab moving 'upscale' forced me into Japanese cars after that. Many Nissans and Subarus later, I have lately been pondering finding a Saab as a project. I met a man at a car show last summer with a pristine 1966 Saab 96, exactly like mine except yellow instead of gray, and he got me really thinking about finding another. I wasnt sure how the old 3 bangers would run on todays unleaded, ethanol blend gas, but his was 'ring ringin' just fine, and I became real enthused. Finding this site tonight just got me more stirred up. Long time auto tech here, at a Nissan dealer for my whole career, but I want a 2 stroker Saab again. Ive just tonight discovered this site.

I was on R St. in Dupont Circle. I really enjoyed our chat. I had no idea I was part of such a substantial community of Saab lovers. The original body really holds a particular charm for me. It's been in my family for years. We've made countless trips to Vermont with dogs, ski's, etc. I can write more about that at another time. It is, however, getting to the point where it is starting to need more and more upkeep. Plus, I have some cosmetic things (like a new headliner) that really needs to be done. The quotes I have gotten...have been a bit steep...especially when there are things that need to be done that are more pressing. I will be looking into this sight for some guidance and resources. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. Regards, Joanne Friedenson, Dupont Circle. Ryan,
