Had three of those.
There was the '59 that died when I neither the bucks nor skill to fix it.
The '68 I used to run off-road in the desert, up fire roads in the mountains (both out in Calfornia) then later in TSD rallies and autocrosses with a nicely tweaked engine.
The '70 I autocrossed a lot and beat lots of supposedly faster cars.
Rebuilt that engine one October and November in my dorm at college
For unorthdox repairs there's my '66 Volvo 122s whose carbs were acting up one night. Car stalling, backfiring. Yanked the SU carbs off it, took 'em apart on my buddy's kitchen table, cleaned them up, reinstalled and the thing ran great. No rebuild kit, just some solvent and rags. Took a couple hours.
No great repair stories on any of my Saabs yet. Not even the C900 (RIP) that I had for 20 years. My Saabs have always just run...........
They are, of course, quirky, but I've had 'em so long I think of it as normal.
