Looks like one of the sport models (non SVT for sure), but that metal decal on the intake manifold (which is unpainted) is intriguing. Most likely a case of badge engineering!

I think I actually emailed that guy about 2 months ago telling him it wasnt an SVT. Perhaps thats why he updated his ad.

Even though it's not an SVT, the cost, plus V6, 5 speed, (if) four wheel disc brakes. Might make a fun ride.

too bad it isnt closer to me, I would check it out and see if it really needed a clutch.

I wonder how many miles it has on it.

I know that the 95's were lighter than the SVT's but it sure wasn't faster because of it.

My car's lighter than an SVT onder:

Hehe, silly Zetec :laugh:

I don't see why you guys are drooling over this car, though. Seems like a rather ordinary Contour?

Yeah it is. I have it, and its been a PITA trying to find another driver seat. Especially with the back pocket on it! I have found 4 other cars now with that interior, but none with the back pocket on driver seat!

Yeah, the drivers back pocket was decontented after 98.5 except for SVT seats.
