96 specifications

Dear Saabwegians: After recent discussions with my insurance company about the value of a '68 96, I realize that I need a set of specifications for a replacement vehicle should (god forbid) one ever be necessary. Not just the factory specs, but a list of items that the 96 driver expects in practical and well-designed transportation. Has anyone done this?
Specs should include comfort items like headroom (I'm tired of taking my hat off when I get into the taurus); basic safety features (no brake cables and fuel lines hanging down in big loops like in some many?) GM products; no third brake light the size of a child on a tricycle blocking the rear view). Hand brake applied to the rear wheels. Common-sense stuff that insurance companies don't seem to care about.
And the car MUST have rain gutters that run all the way down the windshield. Have you ever jumped into your new ford product on one of those crisp, sunny winter mornings, rolled down the window, and had the wipers deliver 5 pounds of fresh snow onto your lap? How many weeks in the wind tunnel do you suppose it took to perfect that design?
Help me out, guys.
