Re: Two Door Non Hatchback 900

>  ... just how common different models  of the C900 are.

Speaking for the USA/Canada markets:

First, there's five different body-styles to consider, along with the 1987 
'facelift' (integrated bumpers and flush headlights).

The 5-door was only available in 1979 and 1980, so that's got to be pretty 
damn rare by now.

The 2-door was only available from 1985-1987.  Quite rare, and if you 
consider the facelift, the new-bumper (1987) 2-door is rarer still.

The convertible has one super-rare year:  1986.  It's the only year 
convertible with the old-style bumpers.  There was a special edition for 
1988 called 'Springtime In Sweden'.

The 4-door was around from 1981-1993, so it's not rare at all.  Perhaps a 
16-valve turbo 4-door may be slightly rarer, as it was not offered every 
year in the 1985-1993 period.

The 3-door is the least rare body-style.  It was available in both turbo and 
non-turbo trim every single year from 1979 to 1993.  Rare versions are the 
SPGs, available from 1986 to 1991.  1986 is the only year SPG with old-style 
bumpers.  1991 is the only year SPG with 185hp.  The rare 1993 commemorative 
edition 3-door shared this highest-ever stock-horsepower C900 motor.
