production number

I dont know, that date is what the dude told me over the phone. I guess i can call back and double check.

My car is #542, which was built April 29th, 1997. Theres no way your car was built on that date. Being that high of a number, and thats an E1, it had to be built in April of 1998.

EDIT: Actually theres no way it was April. By April 16th, 1998, they were already at 5737. Your date is way off.

I think I figured this one out.

Looks like you are 495, not 4,955. My guess is the E0 wheels were swapped with E1's. I see E0 ding guards and a Pre-98 chrome antenna base.

You'd think there would be some way to tell if it were an EO or E1 from the VIN number. But whatever, when i bought the car it had the dash clock. Didnt EO's come without that option? I could be wrong. I'm gonna call on Saturday and ask'em again.

Here's a question I've been wondering. People with single, double, or triple digit build numbers...do you put zero's before the first digit tomake it four?
For instance, my car is #609. Would it look better if the decal said "0609"?

i think the 4 digits is a better look although saleen doesnt do that
here's my buddy's

Thanks for the answer. When I get my build number, it's going to be 4 digits.
