So this SVT by my house could be like one of the first 100ish? I guess the vin would tell me that huh

My 98 SVT (#542) was built 4/97.

Wow, I can't believe they were already in the 500s by 4-97 for a special vehicle that they called '98s.

So this one by me is probably within the 600 range..............

I believe only the first 10 were built in November of 1996, then full production started in March of 1997 (IIRC).

That's what I've noticed, they really must have been churning these things out fast.

Something along the lines that Ford went to a beefier plastic or metal impellar. Can't remember which one.
