Owner?s Manual, a Haynes shop manual for this model and a large
blue Build Book binder plus a logbook containing receipts and
operating instructions Have you ever wished for a classic electric
car, something most unlike a Leaf, Prius or Tesla? We may have
something to give you a jolt at MotoeXotica Classic Cars, a 1969
Saab 96 that has been converted to electric power. This example
reportedly has fewer than 20,000 miles and a 60-mile range. This
conversion took place in 2009 and operates and functions property
today. Great city or beach car, like no other. Finished in white,
the car?s paint and trim are in overall very good order, with some
blemishes visible at close range. The body is straight and solid,
the chrome bumpers fit to the body tightly. The paint does have
orange peel present. The rear quarter windows pop out for
ventilation. The stock fuel tank has been removed while a charging
system cooling fan vents waste heat via an exhaust port just after
of the driver?s door. This Saab rolls on radials tires, size 165R15
at every corner. Each one is mounted on white, vented steel wheels
with chrome factory center caps. The tires are in very good
condition while the wheels are in good, original shape. Reportedly
the vehicle?s springs were adjusted to compensate for the
conversion?s additional weight and the current ride height is said
to match the stock setup. Motive power for this Saab is a
203-06-4001 DC motor from Advanced DC Motors, Inc., paired with 10
Trojan T-1275 batteries and sends power to the car?s front wheels.
The column-mounted four-speed manual transmission functions well
without a clutch pedal, lifting off the accelerator to facilitate
gear changes. The seller stated that the drive system is chargeable
by connecting a port behind the fuel filler door to a regular AC
outlet. Besides its 60-mile range, the car has a top speed of
approx 60 mph. This is a very unique car that would be perfect to
get around the city, beach or golf course. Inside, the car?s gray
cloth seats with black vinyl side bolsters are in very good shape
while the carpetless flooring, neutral headliner, two-spoke
steering wheel, white metal dashboard and inner doors are in
satisfactory order, though the driver?s inner door liner is
missing. The instrument panel shows a battery charge indicator, a
voltmeter, an ammeter and a 120-mph speedometer. The seller stated
that the headlights, turn signals, windshield wipers and emergency
brake have their own electrical system and are functional, but the
horn is inop. Documentation includes Saab Owner?s Manual, a Haynes
shop manual for this model and a large blue Build Book binder plus
a logbook containing receipts and operating instructions. If the
idea of an electric vintage car pleases you but you have zero
interest in a modern EV, come by MotoeXotica Classic Cars and get a
charge from this late ?60s Saab 96 that has been converted to
electric motivation. VIN: 532536 This car is currently located at
