Wikipedia: ASC McLaren Convertible 1984/86: ASC (American Sunroof Corporation, now known as American Specialty Cars) converted Capris into convertibles and enhanced standard hatchbacks which they renamed coupé with headlight and taillight covers and honey comb wheels imported from Campagnolo in Italy. The convertibles were a far more involved project. This required the redesigning of the car's unit construction and the fabrication of a replacement rear deck lid, floor reinforcements, quarter panel caps, tonneau cover and a windshield that was raked back an extra 10 degrees. They received a manual convertible top that took up residence in the area once designated for the rear seats. The ASC McLaren convertibles use a smaller top than the Ford Mustang convertible that is unique to that car, as are the seals, weather stripping, windshield moldings, etcetera. Only 290 coupes and 557 convertibles were built during its 1984-1986 production run.
