The Saab 95 is the wagon variant of the 93 and later 96 sedans, produced from 1959 to 1978. It's famous for its quirky features, including a rear-facing, fold-away third-row seat that made it a 7-passenger vehicle. Early models used a two-stroke 3-cylinder engine, which was replaced in 1967 by a more conventional Ford Taunus V4, improving practicality and performance.
Collectors appreciate the 95 for its distinctive Scandinavian design and engineering ingenuity. It's an unusual classic that offers a different experience from more common vintage cars. The early two-stroke models are rarer and valued for their novelty, while the later V4-powered cars are easier to live with and maintain, making them a popular entry point into classic Saab ownership.
The market for the Saab 95 is modest but supported by a passionate community. With an average sale price under $15,000, it remains an affordable European classic. Exceptional, fully restored examples can approach $40,000, but plenty of driver-quality cars are available for significantly less, representing good value for a unique and practical vintage wagon.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern; thoroughly inspect the floor pans, rocker panels, suspension mounting points, and around the front and rear glass.
- For two-stroke models, listen for bearing noise and confirm the oil-injection system works. On V4 models, listen for a noisy fiber timing gear, a common failure point.
- Test the freewheel mechanism, a unique Saab feature. It should engage and disengage smoothly, allowing the car to coast without engine braking.
- Interior trim, chrome, and specific body parts are very difficult to source. Prioritize finding a complete car, even if it needs mechanical work.
Prices range from $3,300 for project cars to $40,000 for exceptional examples.
