1966 Saab Monte Carlos 850 Vintage Racer

This is a "rust free" car that I bought 6 years ago. After it spent 6 months on a rotisserie, t became genuinely rust free. My intention was to prepare it for vintage racing. Toward that goal, installed an eight point roll cage from 1.5 X .095 DOM tubing. It has a new MOMO FIA rated road race seat. The steering wheel is quick release. It has a floor shift from a Sonnet III. It has Tilton brake and clutch pedals. There is a manual brake bias adjuster next to the drivers seat.

Chassis: Racing springs on all four corners. Koni adjustable shocks. The rear springs have adjustable spring perches, he front springs have screw type weight jacks. The front brakes are Saab 9000 rotors with Saab 900 GM calipers. The rear brakes are stock rebuilt. The wheels are Carroll Shelby Saab Minilite clones that were an accessory wheel on 99s and 900s.

Under the hood: Completely rebuilt engine. It has a "Tom Donney" crankshaft. The pistons have been friction coated on the skirts and thermal coated on the crown. The combustion chambers were also coated. The block was ported to Saab Motorsports specs, o it is state of the art ca. 1966. The engine may have a half a hour on it. The exhaust system consists of an expansion chamber that was built from a pattern supplied by Nicklas Enender in Sweden. He is the XP Extreme Power Guru. It then has a 6' long 2" diameter pipe attached. The transaxle is stock MC850. It has dual Tilton master cylinders for the brakes. The clutch hydraulics are stock rebuilt. There is an eight gallon ATL cell mounted in the trunk.

The car is about 90% finished. There is some wiring that needs to be completed, ome nuts and bolts to be tightened. I just drove the car for the first time on Sunday, une 7th it runs great. It has a clear Kansas title and is licensed and insured. Going with the car is everything that I have with "Saab" on it. This includes a factory shop manual and a XP Extreme Power Tuning manual.

I just looked over the parts that go with it. I do have the original bumpers that are in good condition. I also have 4 steel 4 lug wheels with Michelin zX tires mounted that are included.
