UP FOR AUCTION
1974 Saab Sonett III. I bought this car with hopes of a full restoration but my other restoration project an 1837 Brick Meeting House has taken over - so the Sonett needs to find a new home. I believe this car to originally be a west coast car - I bought it from an older gentlemen in Idaho who had purchased it from Washington State but was told it originally had been a California car.
The former owner had put on a Weber Tipo 34 ICH carburetor, new dual exhaust with chrome tips. I had the radiator recored, all of the hoses changed, fluids changed, new fuel pump, replaced leaking rear brake cylinders and rear brake shoes, patched hole under the battery - no other rust was found, replaced the glass shocks in the rear hatch, hooked up the headlights - manual switch works, headlamps were replaced, new oil change and a fresh inspection sticker.
The car is a project and needs to have the interior redone, body work, and still could use some tuning - but it is miles ahead of where it was when I bought it 6 months ago. I'm also not a fan of the exhaust - a bit too throaty for me. I also noticed the odometer has stopped working - could be the cable but I do not know for sure. This is a good candidate for full restoration. Check out the photos for condition. Selling as is whereas no warranty expressed or implied. Car will be sold with a Bill of Sale as that is all that is required in New Hampshire with a vehicle this old. $500 non refundable deposit due within 24 hours of sale. E-mail with any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks for looking!
