I myself own a 1971 Saab Sonett that I daily drive! Among my three other Saabs... Saab is truly one of the best and most innovative car brands to ever exist. This yellow was always my favorite color on these cars. What a great find! Hopefully this beautiful car can eventually make its way back to a fellow Saab lover. Can't wait for the next video to see it running!

Note the lack of rust - it's a fiberglass body which wasn't mentioned. My next door neighbor had one in the '70s in what Saab called "Indian Yellow", which was their version of orange.

Once had 3 of these in the yard, gave them away. The V4 is a Ford of Germany production. It was intended as an all-purpose utilitarian engine, think agricultural engine. A mighty 1 barrel carb sits on top. As for accidents, SAAB was an industry leader in safety with many innovations. There are many people that have hot rodded these cars.

Saab was a brilliant car make! Extremely reliable, enormous focus on safety and built to last. Such a shame they are no more. Way ahead of their time. As for seat belts, they were invented by the Swedes and first in Volvo so I have no doubt these ones are just as safe.

This has been the detail I have been eagerly awaiting ever since I saw this sweet little Sonett appearing in the background of your videos! This one is in great shape! They are such a rare sight, even when new… I lived in Seattle when I was a kid, which was kind of the SAAB capitol of the U.S. in the 70’s and 80’s, and I would see them driving around and thought they were one of the coolest cars ever. I had no idea about the manual pop up lights though, that really puts it over the top. Great video as always!

Wow!! I've never heard of that model, but that car looks amazing!!! It was so cool to see it was pretty much rodent free and didn't have any major damage to it, if any at all. I love those pop-up headlights, and the mechanics of it are so simple. I think we've made things too convenient and, in return, complicated for us with our everyday gadgets and technology. So cool to see how simple things were once upon a time. Excellent job, as always!!

They had freewheeling too, let off the gas and it coasts for improver gas mileage. Drove from LA to San Francisco, on one tank of gas in my red/orange Sonet III.

This is great! I've owned two Sonett IIIs over the years and currently have a few other vintage Saabs in the stable. You're right in saying that the engine is related to the V4 in the 96 you previously detailed on the channel. Your 96 should have the 1.5 liter version, whereas this car has the 1.7. Power output is almost identical, as is most everything aside from the displacement and the air intake. If you want to complete the V4-powered Saab trifecta, I have a 1972 95 (the 7-passenger station wagon version of these cars) down in KY that could use a good detail!

I had one of these in Royal Blue back in the '80's. My first car and , a great little ride. My Dad was so freaked out by its size he had a mechanic install a foot activated truck horn. If you think that didn't get people's attention, think again. Unfortunately for me, Sonnets were made of fiberglass. Some jag off turned in front of me a couple of years after I got it and the whole body literally blew up. Totaled. To this day, I miss that little car.
