Jesse: If there are 1985 2-doors out there, they were shipped very late in the model year and would be very few in number. I've never seen one nor seen any advertised.

Still very rare indeed. I wonder if my 3-door 9-3 will ever be considered that rare. Eggs,

He also suggested I get the word out on the SAABNET forum. Will do that after he takes a look and can provide additional "expert" details that I do not have yet ;-) I will get some more pics this weekend and post. Thanks.

That was the only year that two-doors were available in the United States! They were also only available in the "S" level of trim. Nice! Oy, and a rare bird with the ’86 two-door.
