Yup, I noticed the NAPA battery right away!
I think this car would be loads of fun to drive.
Maybe Johan can give us his opinion on Saab.

Always had a soft spot for this round Saab 95. Still have a NEO 1:43 Blue and White one somewhere. Yes, too bad haven't heard from Johan. So many others....

Keep looking, Gene, it will grow on you.
(like it has for me, over the years)

I see some Pontiac-like styling cues in that narrow center front grille and the hood creases coming forward to a point. Treatment in rear is more like a Mopar wagon, Dodge perhaps.
And that set of wheels (optional on the car) are beautiful with color and detail.

In a pinch this design has good functionality with 7-passenger seating, but it's the V-4 with manual transmission that makes me curious about how it drives. (see the little V-4 emblem on the lower front fenders)

I've gotten so tired of seeing styling of all brands today looking so much like each other on the road, these once-odd appearance Euro designs look super now. Keep looking!

I wonder if that's an actual 741 miles, which would explain the pristine condition. Or if that's 741 after a major restoration? Kinda homely, true. But it's a great example of an early SAAB.
