Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this sharp 1971
Saab Sonett III. This car underwent a full frame off restoration in
2013 and no expense was spared. During the restore the numbers
matching original Ford Taunus V4 cylinder engine was rebuilt with
new gaskets and seals, the heads were machined and valves lapped,
new rings and cylinders honed, the bottom end is original and
didn't need rebuilding, the exhaust system was replaced, and even
the 4 speed manual transmission was rebuilt with the freewheel
locked out. The engine did receive some upgrades such as its Weber
34ICH Carburetor, Classic Auto Air under dash A/C system, aluminum
radiator, electric fan, and so much more. The odometer reads 77,251
actual miles but the rebuilt on this drivetrain was done only about
500 miles ago. The tub was sandblasted, trunk floor replaced, and
painted with POR-15. All of the suspension components were powder
coated satin black, new shocks/bushings/ball joints/ brake lines/
fuel lines/ and braking components were replaced as well. Painted
in a sharp Ford RZ Red Candy metallic tri-coat paint that looks
amazing and flows well with the two-tone red and gray leather
interior. The total production in 1971 was 1265 units and total
production for all manufactured years, 1966-1974, was 10,236 units.
This car is turnkey and ready to be shown off. As this unique car
gets older, it will only be harder and harder to find one,
