Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this sharp 1971
Saab Sonett III. This car is claimed by its owner to have underwent
restoration in 2013. During the restore, the numbers matching
original Ford Taunus V4 cylinder engine was rebuilt with new
gaskets and seals, the heads were machined and valves lapped, new
rings and cylinders honed, the bottom end is original and didn't
need rebuilding, the exhaust system was replaced, and even the 4
speed manual transmission was rebuilt with the freewheel locked
out(all claimed by its owner). The engine did receive some upgrades
such as its Weber 34ICH Carburetor, Classic Auto Air under dash A/C
system, aluminum radiator, electric fan, and so much more. The
odometer reads 77,251 actual miles but the rebuilt on this
drivetrain was done only about 500 miles ago. The tub was
sandblasted, trunk floor replaced, and painted with POR-15. All of
the suspension components were powder coated satin black, new
shocks/bushings/ball joints/ brake lines/ fuel lines/ and braking
components were replaced as well. Painted in a sharp Ford RZ Red
Candy metallic tri-coat paint that looks amazing and flows well
with the two-tone red and gray leather interior. The total
production in 1971 was 1265 units and total production for all
manufactured years, 1966-1974, was 10,236 units. This car is
turnkey and ready to be shown off. As this unique car gets older,
it will only be harder and harder to find one, especially in this
condition. This 1971 Saab Sonett III is for sale by our Tampa
