Saab 96 Rally Car

This Saab 96 Rally Car owned by Fred Ankeny ran the rugged Acropolis Rally in Greece in 1970 and the next year ran the Shell 4000 Trans-Canada Rally. Known as the "Hog of Steel" and driven by driver/writer Satch Carlson, it was eventually retired to a field in Clackamas, Oregon, where it was later found up to its belly pan in mud. A complete restoration was undertaken and now the car is used on vintage rallies in the US and Canada.
