5-door in USA was only '79-'80.
I believe the body 'kit' for 5-door was never made by Saab. I know this to be a custom fab by a previous owner. When finished by the 'custom fab' owner this was a beautiful car. It was at SOC '91 at Crystal Mountain, WA. I believe this is a '79 with custom and later equipment. Nothing 'Euro' other than the headlights, but I believe these were stock on Canadian import '79.
Rear has been upgraded to '80 and later hatch and lights, plus the optional panel that adds red 'light' panel around license plate.
The 'H' 8-valve engine is a direct swap in for the '79-80 900s that originally had the 'B'engine.
All the 'H' in USA were CIS injection, same as the later series 'B'.
The 'H' 8-valve CIS ran thru '87 in base model 900s.
Doors on 5-door and 4-door 900s are easily swapped/upgraded, so power windows is not hard to accomplish. The overall body shell is same for 3-door and 5-door cars, only differences are in 2-door with door/rear side window and 4-doors with 'opera' side windows.
