Near Barneveld... west of Madison, east of Dodgeville.
I don't have any vehicles available, and not an awful lot of advice to offer, except a bit of a warning: the two-stroke obsession can be pervasive and long lasting.
I first 'noticed' SAABs as a kid, maybe twelve years old, in the mid-'60s. I didn't buy my first one until '72 or so, then owned, drove and maintained them for twenty years. I still have a '57 93 in cold storage awaiting a restoration that may never occur.
The snub nose (or bull nose) versions were the most fun to drive in my opinion, though original examples - in modern terms - were ridiculously under powered... which may be a good thing since the brake system was about as weak.
I would suggest looking for a clean example that has been converted to front disc brakes and has maybe seen some engine performance modifications... a V-4 gearbox is a plus too... and consider it an occasional, not a daily driver. Watch out for structural rust with any car you're considering.
Good Luck.
Peter B.
