This is most likely the fastest SAAB for sale in the USA... yours for only $175,000.
1964 SAAB J35 Draken Interceptor
The engine is a Volvo unit: Flygmotor RM 6C Afterburning Turbojet producing 17,637 lbs of thrust.
Max speed is Mach 2.0 at 36,090 feet. You'll have to go to Mexico or over the ocean to do a max speed run... if you ask nicely the US Air Force will let you do some Mach runs over the Mojave desert.
Cruises at 594 knots, that's 683 mph.
Service ceiling is 60,040 feet.
Rate of climb is 34,450 feet per minute. It reaches 49,215 feet in five minutes.
It comes complete with light gray upholstery, rolled and pleated headrest.
It has 789 hours on the air frame, the engine has 1442 hours. Comes with complete service history and tools to fix it. The manuals come in Swedish but a translated copy is available.
The bad thing is not many aftermarket upgrades, BSR, Genuine SAAB, Maptun, no one makes any performance upgrades for this SAAB.
It's been for sale for a while, I think about two years ago it was being sold for $300,000. If you got cash in hand they might even go lower!

I'm thinking of contacting them and offer a trade for a near-mint 95 900 SE with a little over 35,000 miles...
