Bandi, guess what I found... A guy I used to go to school and work with found this in a horse barn here in town:

	Decent condition! Good find! I love those cars... "Bigger", exotic sister of my SAAB... (BTW, you spelled Saab wrong... should be all caps! lol) In related news: I finally will be starting the bodywork on mine next week since I have free time now (today was my last day of high-school EVER) -Cody

those tires are hugge

they are 15" factory aluminum wheels. the spare tire matches them.
the car has been in storage since around 1989-90. I has sat in a horse barn. Most of the body is fiberglass...

the rear trunkpan is rotten and separating, but it is a bolt in piece, easily fabricated. The fuel tank needs to be dropped out of it, fuel lines flushed, pump replaced... It has this teeny-tiny little Ford V4 and is rear wheel drive. For 65hp, these cars would move. I think Timmy said that it weighed maybe 1700lbs?

no one knows what these cars are...

	BTW, they're FWD, not RWD... There's quite a few 96 sedans that have Sonett running gear swapped into them b/c the diff ratio is taller...

i don't know... the transmission runs into a driveshaft back to a rear axle, EO.
looks RWD to me.

	the rear of the tranny is a big bolt ina rubber mount on the firewall... If it is in fact a floor-shift model, then it owuld have a tunnel, but it's just a big U-shaped rear axle. It's the exact same gearbox as the 95s and 96s, but with different ratios. Early cars had the same column-shift also, but the Sonett III (as you are talking about) has a floor-shift. I can even take a picture of my spare 'box in my garage to show the rear mount... Also note the wikipedia page you linked to with the "FF Layout" description... as in "front-engine, front-wheel-drive" The Sonett is FF, the 95/96 is FF, 99 is FF, Quantum race cars are FF, and even the SAAB factory Formula 2 car was FF (understeered so bad it wasn't competitive). SAAB itself has never built a car with anything other than FWD. The only exceptions to the rule are the GM-era cars with optional 4WD, and of course the 9-7X which is just a rebadged TrailBlazer... -Cody -restoring a '67 96 2-stroke
