Hey Tamburinifan

Do you know how many cc's the Saab engine is?
I was just reflecting on why I thought a 3 cylinder 2 stroke was crazy since Yamaha, among others produced just such a motor...

But still it looks like it would drop right into an odyessy type off roader -

On another note - funny how errant this thread has become . . .
more than likely we are just spent on the subject of the 17" wheel conversion discussion with so much dialog already here in the forum.

Like Nnnnnnorman said
They came with a lever which put the trans in unlocked mode allowing the vehicle to coast.Provided for some shall we say very exciting downhills :thumbup:

I have had the opportunity to drive a lot of different cars throughout the years in my endeavours towards technologist, The 1968 Saab 96 Monte Carlo is one of my favorites, Bought three of them for 350USD from a racer type needed the money back in the late 70's..... many a fond memories :thumbup: Wish I'd kept that one :beer: lots of character and a definite sleeper. Surprised many a sports car fanatic back in its day :fart: Fiats, Porsches, Lancias, Alfas, 240Z's even a TR6 and a TR8 all got to smell the popcorn burning :evil: Hmmmm, maybe next years project, there are still a few of them around :smoke:
