This is a 1967 Saab 95 Station Wagon and while you may have never heard of it before, it could sell for as much as $60,000.
This Saab started out life in California and spent a few years enjoying the sunshine before it was placed into dry storage and kept there for more than 20 years. Broad Arrow Auctions says that the next owner had the car transported over to the east coast of the U.S. before work on a comprehensive restoration began.
The listing reveals that during the restoration, both the engine and transmission were overhauled to factory specifications. Additionally, the car’s original paint was stripped back and replaced with a shade of Maroon from the Mercedes-Benz color palette. The restoration didn’t stop there as the interior was also refinished in palomino Mercedes MB-Tex with a patterned cargo area.
By modern station wagon stands, the Saab 95 is quite compact but still manages to make quite an impression thanks to the intriguing design and ornate details. Found up front is a chrome-finished grille as well as circular headlights and additional driving lights mounted on the chrome front bumper. Your eyes may also be drawn to the soccer ball-inspired wheels as well as the rear with round taillights housed within a triangular-shaped section of bodywork.

The listing notes that this Saab 95 Station Wagon is equipped with the optional rear-facing third-row, meaning it is actually a seven-seater. Power comes courtesy of a V4 engine from Ford that produce 65 hp when it was new. While that may not sound like much, it’s significantly more than the 38 hp three-cylinder two-stroke that the 95 was also sold with. Working alongside the V4 engine is a four-speed manual transmission.
