My family's 1966 Saab 96 overheated twice - once it had to be rebuilt, and the second time it had to be replaced - and then the transmission failed. All in 40,000 miles...

Mixing the oil into the gas was a huge pain - you had to use precisely all of the tank before refilling, if you didn't want to have a partial quart of oil knocking around the trunk. I doubt very much that this engine could pass today's emissions test.

We had friends who owned a 1967 96 with the V4, that was driven over 300,000 miles.
