This 1990 Saab 900 SPG is claimed to have spent time in both a former Saab USA president’s garage, and later the GM Heritage collection. That car was used by Saab PR during product launches, where it was described as being the most original surviving SPG. It now has 54k miles and it is offered with some great engine photos. Find it here on eBay in Maywood, New Jersey. Special thanks to BaT reader Anders J. for this submission!

Various websites point to the GM Heritage Collection’s car being identical to this example, with brief stories and photos on the Saab history website and the Turbonines website. The two-tone paint always seemed an odd choice for such an upmarket car, but this is a Saab after all. While European markets got color-matching trim on these cars, American-market SPGs wear the Anthracite Grey lower body trim seen here. The unique 3-spoke wheels are also SPG-specific, designed to aid in cutting down drag coefficient.

The grey leather interior looks to be in perfect shape, and we find nothing to contradict the low-mile claims here. The driver’s seat on a classic Saab 900 is a comfortable place to be, making eating up long highway miles a pleasure. The hatchback has the added bonus of providing a cavernous amount of luggage space. As a bonus, this car is equipped with a factory CD player, which must have been a rare option back in 1990.

The heart of the SPG package was a 16-valve turbocharged and intercooled inline 4, which pumped out 175 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque for the 1990 model year. The powerplant is quite robust – at least one SPG went over a million miles on its original engine and turbo – but the 5-speed manual has been described as “finicky.”

These classic 900 Saabs are great driving machines for good value, but they are also starting to trend back upwards in value. Among Saab 900s, the SPG is certainly the best of its breed. It will be interesting to see what price this remarkably original example will fetch.
