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 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 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.
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
