The 1,000 number is correct.
ASC (American Sunroof Company) was contracted to build the convertibles. Paseos were shipped to California where ASC cut off the roof and essentially rebuilt the car as a convertible adding a lot of strength to the chassis and body for rigidity.
Mine has 36K miles on it. It remains a very rigid body (no squeaks or rattles).
Even the local Toyota dealer didn't know what it was. Now it's a celebrity car when it goes in.
Headlights are horrible, even with 100W bulbs and relays. The lens design is abysmal. I continue to search for a euro style replacement lens, but have found nothing. Nowhere to put driving lights, so I rarely drive it at night. When I do I drive with the brights on. No one has ever flashed me back.
