The 1967 Saab 96 was powered by an inline, two-stroke three-cylinder engine that offered 46 horsepower. Another engine was available, an overhead-valve four-stroke V-4, 1498cc unit that produced 73 horsepower. Along with Saab's return to the four-cycle V-4 engine, seat upholstery also switched from hessian-type cloth inserts to close-weave nylon. All V-4 Saabs had disc brakes in the front and an alternator. The two-stroke models had drum brakes and a DC generator, plus vinyl upholstery.The two-door, five-passenger, front-engine, front-wheel drive sedan sold for $1,800 - $2,300 (depending on engine and options).
