thats because it was crash tested

 

[CSVT #0037]

How many crash tests did they do with these? I know of #9 is still alive. So obviously it has to be under that.

I remember a guy on here had number 6 and number 7,8 or 10 also frequented the boards. number 6 is dead now I believe

Just for you, I pulled my window sticker out of the file.

MSRP on mine was $23,210.00. It is #240 for 1998, built on 4/15/97, making it an E0. That included the optional CD player ($140.00) and the non optional California Emissions System ($170.00). It did not include the optional moonroof (I didn't want one).

i remember seeing somebody with #0005

Big Jim i think the moonroof option was free of charge

Must be nice to have one of those handy.
You must be very meticulous with filing and what not, like my GF. (She's a bookkeeper for her fathers many companies) :zzz:

It became a no cost option later. When I bought mine a moonroof would have cost extra.

why wouldn't they crash test a regular non-SVT model contour...its the same car body wise (except the bumper, but i doubt that would make much of a difference in crash testing) :shrug:

1-5 were crash tested.

as for crash testing svt's versus regular contours, i believe they are required to test them due to the different body parts.

Why do you say that?

spdsk8r has or had #0006 '98 CSVT T-red, but this member hasn't been active lately.

Yeah I know... Last I remember either someone ran into him or the other way around or his motor blew... I forget what happened...

 

[rouar]

He was involved in an accident but I don't believe the car was totalled. Was only a bumper-basher or something like that.

 

[svttour]

ahh ok my half mistake.

NHTSA requires "a few" vehicles to be submitted for crash testing. To me, that sounds like at least 3 or 4, which is consistent with the #0001-#0005 being crash tested.

...or #0001 is in a museum somewhere, and they crash tested the other 4... :shrug:

Also, the 2nd generation Contour body style was introduced on the SVT in late 1996 (as a 98 model) when they were still turning out the pre98 models. The first few SVT builds may have been the vehicles Ford submitted for crash testing to cover ALL 2nd gen Contours...

I remember reading that SVT retained #1 and is in either a ford museum or locked up. That was a very long time ago that I read that on here.

Why don't we just call up John Coletti and ask him. If he doesn't answer, we grab him by the ear and twist it.

Woot, wait a second why do they have the silver one then??

That red with tan interior is wrong?? Maybe??. At ford gatherings... woodward example. They show off the Silver 2000 svt? Which is company owned according to SVE.
