Want to relive the glory days of Saturn? This might be your shot, a 1991 Saturn SC that’s purported to be one of two factory-backed teams in the SCCA Showroom Stock class at that time. The other car was said to be crushed.

The seller says it appears just like it did after its last race, minus front seats.

The Saturn was last run about 10 years ago and obviously will need some work. The seller further says, “I have since dropped a battery in it and the engine spins however the fuel pump is not coming on so it will need the tank dropped a the fuel pump replaced.”

Find this 1991 Saturn SC from Gainesville, Georgia, on Facebook Marketplace, with an asking price of $4500.

Oh jeeze, it really is a '91. Complete with the horrible motor mounts.

Truthfully, I don't need that......at all.

That thing has been for sale locally for at least a year now and it's still overpriced. I would be curious what it actually looks like now after sitting so long.

I worked at a Saturn dealership and I never saw one although I knew they existed.  (Not too many people take 10 year old cars to the dealership for service)

I remember replacing many, many engine mounts.  If the '91 was worse...

The upper motor mount was a 40,000 mile service item on my 97. Took 5 minutes and cost 20 bucks.

In reply to Gearheadotaku (Forum Supporter) :

The '91 was entirely supported at the bottom, they didn't hang the timing cover off of the inner fender like '92?-up.  Memory says that the subframes still had the leftover mounting points for the '91 layout for a while after the change.

I always wanted to combine the 91 and 92 + mounts.  The 91 mount location would facilitate a better performance engine mount.

It looks like a very entertaining car. I don't know if it qualifies for vintage events, but it should. 

 

I wonder if this is one of those things that will look like bargains in five to ten years.

This should be eligible for vintage events. I also wonder if the perspective will change five to 10 years in the future. Nostalgia certainly has a way of changing one's vision.
