Showing Off It’s 2010 / 2011 Mechanical & Frame-Off Body / Metalwork Restoration Performed By Longtime Saab Wizard Mark Ashcraft In Medford, Oregon. A $43K Restoration. In Addition To Receiving The Car, Prevailing Buyer Will Receive 1000+ Images Of The $43k Restoration ( Parts Total $26,473 / Labor Total $16,845 / Total Total $43,318 ) And With Full Paper Restoration Documentation Included Also. 31 Pages. Mark Ashcraft Restoration April 2010 To August 2011. See Mark Ashcraft Dot Com ( Saab V4 Parts & Restoration ). The Car Enjoyed A -Complete- Mechanical Restoration, Extensive Frame & Sheet Metal Repairs And A Long List Of Performance Upgrades Including Transmission Rebuild, And Engine Rebuild To High Performance. Original -4- Speed 1700cc V4 Engine Performance Tuned To 130 HP, Per Mark Ashcraft Build Notes ( Stock / Factory Was 73 HP ). —> For Reference, A Porsche 912 Was Powered By 1582cc With 90 HP. Early 911's Had 128 HP. About The Same As This 73 Saab 95. Additional Upgrades Include Gas Shocks, High Performance Stainless Steel Headers, And New Pipes / Mufflers / Borla Exhaust System. Mechanical Parts Also Replaced Or Rebuilt By Mark Ashcraft: CoilVoltage RegulatorWindshield Wipers & MotorDistributorAlternatorStarter Mark Ashcraft Also Installed A -Dual- Electric Radiator Fan Kit As 96’s / 95’s Are Known For Not Being Super Happy In Warm Climate US, Versus Cooler Climate Sweden. Therefore, Dual Fans Are Fitted For Better Cooling, As An Upgrade Versus The 1 Factory / Stock Fan. Neither Fan Of The 2 Fans Now Installed Are Particularly Necessary In The Cool SF Climate Where I Live / Where The Car Lives Presently, Though I Do Use 1 Fan Whenever The Heat Gauge Reaches Mid-Level. Both Fans Can Be Manually Operated From Dash Switches In The Cabin. The Engine Does Not Get Hot In The SF Climate. Not Even Close. Your Climate May Vary. Dual Fans Are Mentioned To Reference The Body Modification Necessary To Achieve Sufficient Space For Dual Fans. Mark Ashcraft Extended The Front / Hood Of The Car 3 Inches To Accommodate. Many Detailed Extension Images Are Included Among The 1000+ Images Prevailing Buyer Will Receive. Hood Extension / Body Image Also Included Here Among The Listing Images Attached. Consider The Hood Extension A Factory-Quality Upgrade For The US Market So Engine Overheating Doesn’t Occur. Perhaps There Are So Few 96’s & 95’s On The Road In The US, Due To Overheated / Ruined Engines Over The Years From Insufficient Engine Cooling. Problem Solved In This Case By Longtime Saab Wizard Mark Ashcraft. Car Needs Nothing Presently To Enjoy.

Original Color Verona Green Paint ( Color Code GN8H ). Car Has Enjoyed A Quality Respray And Looks Very Good Other Than Some Mismatching Verona Green Paint ( Saab Factory Verona Green Came In 2 Similar But Different Colors — GN8H & GN9H — See Factory Paint Color Sheet Attached ). Interior Presents In Very Good Original / Survivor Condition With Additional Aftermarket Gauges ( 3 Lower Left Under Dash -- Battery, Vacuum, & Oil Pressure, + Dash Tachometer ). Seats Are Good Other Than Some Seam Separations On Front Seats. Rear Seat Original Perfect. Door Panels Are Good. Chrome Flaking On Interior Door Panel Trim. Steering Wheel Has No Splits Or Cracks And Is Covered. All Lights / Signals Work. Dash Illumination Works. Clock Works, As Does It’s Illumination. Dash Is Not Original To The Car, And Is Flawless.

Door Does Open From The Inside. Easy Fix. • A Bit Of Interior Petrol / Gas Nose Presently • Light General Cosmetic Imperfections Here & There As Any Very Good Condition 44 Year Old Car Will. • Freewheel Has Been Deactivated If Not Specifically Scrutinizing For Flaws, This Phenomenal 95 Looks / Presents As Cherry As They Come. There Is Nothing Negative Of Significance About The Car To Disclose Other Than The Above Noted Items Or Would Disclose Here. Saab Produced -5- Times More 96's Than 95's. 96's Are Rare, As It Is. 95's Are Extra Rare. As Only 1/5 As Many 95’s Were Produced And Typically More Beaten As A Wagon. Leading To Further Rarity Circa 2016. 44 Years Later. 1973 Was The Final Year Saab Imported The 95 Wagon To The US. So 73 Is As State-Of-The-Art As 95’s Get In The US. All The Care Placed Into This Verona Green 95 Distinguishes It Further From Most If Not All Remaining 95 Examples On The Road. Much Further. Have Had A Zillion Cars In My Time Including Many Saab 99’s And 900’s And Always Wanted A 95. Have Been Enjoying This Car Very Much, As Likely One Of The Very Best Examples In The World Perhaps.

Not Really Noticeable Unless Scrutinizing For Flaws. These Seats Are Not Available As Reproductions, And There Is No Specific Repair Solution Per Mike Of Val’s Upholstery In San Francisco, A Classic Car Interior / Upholstery Expert.
