I think you meant to ask how many 1979 and 1980 900s are still around. I dare say rust finally did in my '79 900EMS. It was still going strong mechanically when I sold it in 1998 but the floorboards were starting to go. And this for a car that spent almost all of its time with me in the Rocky Mountain West. The 1979 and 1980 cars, at least those sold in the US, had very poor rust proofing. I think there was some sort of plastic film used in conjunction with whatever else was applied. If (when) the plastic film tore all sorts of not good things would find their way into those spaces resulting in body rot. My EMS was a very early 1979 production car (August 1978) and one of very few sold here without a catalytic converter.
