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 
2000 SE fleet, V6, ATX, ABS, no spoiler, T-Green/tan. Built 01/2000 in MO.
Added 12 spoke factory SE rims, K&N. Biggest mod: ESP Plan!

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
