Thousands upon thousands where made. As far as your particular options combination, we don't really have any idea on how many Contour's had what options though.

The early '98 GL was made from Jan-Aug 97, so it's not as common as pre '98 GL's.

The V6 was part of a package for GL's and the spoiler was stand alone. The "Sport" package went on GL and LX and could be had with V6 or Zetec.

The hubcaps are probably like my old ones, star shaped. :p wink

MTX = Manual/Standard Transmission
ATX = Automatic Transmission

actualy I think it is transaxle but transmission is better understood by people who dont hang out on the board all day laugh

My insurance company dosen't even list my trim level, which is a 1998 GL sport w/ V6. My title and window sticker both say 'GL', but my insurance says SE. According to them , GLs weren't made in 1998! Go figure. :rolleyes:


1998 Contour Sport V6, Black
*Cold air induction
*Powdercoated intake manifold (more powdercoating coming soon)
*Blue headlights, foggies, and signals (no reflectors)
*CEG stickers & removed door moldings
--------------------------------
1994 Ford Aspire 4-door, looks like a big egg
*64 hp 4-cyl
*5 speed
*"13 steel rims with go-cart tires
*74 mph top speed
*I'm going to auto-x the thing (but not compete)
