Saab 1962 95 Wagon Rear Wheel Drive

Vehicle Description

1962 Saab 95 wagon converted to rear wheel drive using a classic 900 turbo drive train. Here’s a one off car that was built in the late 80’s by Rick Parr of Parrformance in Pennsylvania. After seeing the listing on Saabnet.com, Rick Parr and his son Jeremy contacted me and I learned more about the car. The car started life as a 1962 95 two stroke wagon and the builders cut and fit a late 80’s c900 16 valve turbo drivetrain into the back driving the rear wheels. It’s truly a wild build that is very well engineered. There’s no second or third row seat – it’s all engine and trans. The rear fenders were custom built and widened to accommodate the extra width of the c900 drivetrain. All the electronics to run the motor are built into a panel behind the front seats. The bracing in the rear is custom built and doubles as a jacking point. A custom locked steering rack is fitted to the rear. The car was running and driving and driven to the 1987 Saab Owners Convention in Delaware. The trans is an automatic to ease installation issues. The fuel tank, battery and spare are placed in the front where the two stroke engine was. The fuel tank is missing and the car does not start or drive. There is a rectangular fuel tank tray in the front. There is a fuel pump fitted and I used a plastic gas tank for a fuel supply. I removed the pump and bench tested it and it does work. I changed the engine oil in anticipation of it starting. The pump runs as expected when fitted to the car and the engine would turn over but not start. The wagon retains the stock front end of the 62 wagon and was not widened but is fitted with mid 80’s c900 front brakes. Four bolt wheel hubs all around from a c900 as well as the seats. The turbo is intercooled and you can see the intercooler in the side pictures. The radiator and air intake are also located in the sides. The exhaust is a Supertrapp muffler that comes right off the turbo. A C900 instrument cluster is fitted and operational. There is no key to start it. There is just the ignition switch operated with a screwdriver. The underside is fitted with a steel plate from the firewall to the engine. There is some surface rust on this plate and in the engine bay. It will need to be trailered. This is a huge project with the end result of a truly unique Saab. Car is located near Tacoma WA. Clear title. True mileage unknown.I’d be happy to answer further questions.
