The Saab 96 (and its station-wagon sibling, the 95) is one of those iconic cars that just about everybody claims to love, but few are willing to rescue. Most of the 96s in the country passed through the junkyard gates and into the recycled-metal continuum a couple of decades back, with only the nicest examples deemed worthy of saving, but a few have hung on in side yards and cornfields long enough to show up in wrecking yards now. We saw this '68 sedan in California last year, and now there's this '68 wagon in Denver.
This one has the Ford Taunus V4, rather than the three-cylinder Saab two-stroke so beloved by those who have never driven a car powered by one (to be fair, I know some two-stroke Saab owners who do love driving their cars).
The gauges have that cool Saab airplane logo.
Four-on-the-tree diagram and cold-starting instructions are found on this dash sticker.
No obvious signs of rust-through, and the interior isn't too horrifying. After several months in this yard, still not many pieces have been plucked from this old Swede.
