Sold 1986 Saab 900T Conv 2146355164 Tweet

This Local doctors car comes with complete dealer service history since new. We sold this convertible to its second owner in 1996 and serviced it until it was put in heated storage in 2008. We purchased it from the second owner of nearly 20 years as he was downsizing and sold the house/garage where it was stored. This limited edition, first production droptop runs and drives great and is a unique piece of preserved Saab history. Only 379 of this model ever produced! 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 Sinclairs 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 Uusikaupunki, Finland working at full capacity. The first Saab Convertibles were a limited run of 379 16-valve Turbos, produced in the spring of 1986 exclusively for the U.S. market. The cars sold so quickly that most prospective buyers did not realize the car was available for sale. How many are left? The rest is history and the present is your opportunity to own one of the most sought after classic convertibles.
