This 1995 Saab 900 Turbo sedan (VIN YS3DC55NXS2049233) is a factory-backed car which was raced at Pikes Peak in 1997, where it recorded a time of 13:46 on way towards a second place finish in the High Performance Showroom Stock class. Fresh from the GM Heritage collection, the car is essentially stock excluding a roll cage and what the seller describes as ten horsepower worth of stickers. Find it here on eBay in Saint Louis, Missouri with reserve not met.

​Showroom Stock meant just that—the car is completely OEM down to the optional Saab chrome exhaust finisher and funky Saab three spoke wheels. Mileage is listed as 34k and change, though presumably the car was pretty fresh when first enlisted as a competitor, so it must have been driven quite a bit between retirement and placement in the Heritage Collection.

​Stripped of carpet and running a stout roll cage, Sparco race seats and a fire extinguisher, everything else looks stock including the optional walnut veneered dash, radio and center console-mounted starter switch. Even trunk carpeting, spare and tool kit remain installed.

​Things look completely stock underhood as well, ,and the factory rating on these 2.0L, 16V turbo four cylinders was 182 HP. There’s not much else to say here, except to note the convetional transverse engine installation—GM really reigned in Saab’s weirder engineering excesses, meaning no reversed north-south engine placement and chain-driven trans like on the original 900.

​Conceivably, the car could be returned to a family hauler by pulling the cage, throwing in a $300 carpet kit and stripping the stickers off with a heat gun and some razor blades. Still, it’s an interesting slice of Saab history for better or worse, and Pikes Peak is a great event anyway you look at it.
