The idea for a Saab convertible, now an automotive icon around the world, first took hold in the United States. After convertibles had disappeared from the American marketplace in the early 1980s, Saab USA President Bob Sinclair realized there was a tremendous market niche to be refilled. While the popular hatchback Saab 900 was not suitable for conversion, a limited run of two-door 900 sedans with conventional trunks and steel roofs sparked Sinclair's interest.
American Sunroof Corp. was commissioned to create a soft-top, four-seat Saab 900 Convertible based on the two-door sedan. A pearl white prototype was unveiled at the 1983 Frankfurt Auto Show as a design study. Overwhelming media response and consumer interest left Saab with no choice but to gear up for production.
Though initial production numbers for the Saab 900 Convertible were conservative, incredible demand kept the Valmet assembly plant in Finland working at full capacity. The first Saab Convertibles were a limited run of 400 16-valve Turbos, produced in the spring of 1986 exclusively for the U.S. market.
Our 1986 Classic survivor spent most of its life in North Carolina where we purchased it from a collector.
He had an impressive amount of service performed including new front calipers and brake pads, heater valve, tires, Mass Airflow Sensor, radiator, fuel pump, regulator and filter, clutch master cylinder, upper ball joints, all tune up components and a new stereo and dash speakers.
It has a clean accident free Carfax and is all original except the hood has been repainted at some point.
