This old Sonett belonged to a real cool cat. The kind of guy you'd expect to meet at a black folks jazz club around 2:30 am. A real laid back east coaster the fellow was. We sport haggled back & forth for a few hours and settled into a deal. He told me I could have one of his beers if the baby wasn't asleep in my honda. The man had sunk $5grand into the Sonett just kind of playing around. He had the coin and the good techs at Saab Replay in Berkeley were more than happy to tinker away on the old girl. The top end was rebuilt, brakes, fuel system, you name it, they touched it. The Saab crackles a cool little crackle and the fuel delivery should be sorted out more. Not enough fuel is making it into the engine. Oh it will squeal the tires for 20 feet and you should hold on tight to the wheel. Its not going to get away from you or anything & the take off is satisfying. Aficionados mention the excellent venting system in this vehicle. Lots of cool air comes in no problem. Nobody wants sweaty shorts hitting the twisties. The little car turns heads and seems to be appreciating lately. Maybe hop on the swedish ship before it sails like 914's did. The man did not complete the door cards. He meticulously cut the panel backing and stopped there. The seats have been dyed and the interior used to have more tan to it. There are some little nicks in the body I have photo'd for those who care. The tires and wheels are in good shape. The little car needs a new caretaker who will get it out on the road and knock the dust off. Its a fun little cruiser that will fit in with any collection of quirky vehicles. Please ask your questions and we will get back to you. Happy Hunting! from Cars and dogs, Rus and Dan.
