Instantly recognizable by its teardrop shape, the Saab 96 built a giant-killing reputation in international rallies. It's an accessible classic prized by collectors for its clever engineering and the shift from an early two-stroke to a later Ford V4 engine.
Typical sold price of a Saab 96 ranges from $2,840 to $30,000, based on 108 sales tracked on Hypercars. 4 currently for sale.
The Saab 96, produced from 1960 to 1980, is a pillar of the brand's quirky and innovative history. It's famous for its teardrop aerodynamics, a carryover from the earlier Saab 93, and its surprising success in rallying. Early models used a small two-stroke, 3-cylinder engine, while cars from 1967 onward featured a more conventional Ford Taunus V4, making them easier to maintain today.
Collectors appreciate the 96 for its unique engineering, including a freewheeling clutch, and its strong rally pedigree cemented by driver Erik Carlsson. The choice between the distinct character of the two-stroke models and the practicality of the V4 splits the enthusiast base. It's an accessible classic that offers a driving experience unlike almost anything else from the period.
The market for the Saab 96 is active but still affordable, with an average price sitting just under $13,000. Exceptional rally-prepped cars and perfectly restored examples can fetch up to $40,000, but plenty of driver-quality cars and running projects trade for much less. It remains a great entry point into the world of vintage European cars.
Prices range from around $1,300 for projects to over $40,000 for concours-quality or rally-prepared cars.
