Car #2 was built on 12/14/1989. The 3rd car and the rest of production began 2/2/1990 and continued until May 29th. 4,103 Emerald beauties were built. All cars were convertibles. Most cars were built in March. You will see different total units produced numbers stated in various books. The copy of the letter from Ford included in your registry information is the definitive authority. One intent o the registry is to find out how many were built with free axle upgrade, which was available. If you are not aware of this, all 5.0L cars, not just the Limited Edition, came with the 2.73 (M) code axle. The upgrade for 5-speed cars came with the 3.08 (z) axle. Upgrade for the automatic car is 3.27 (E). Any car built with these upgrades is very rare. Originally, all cars were to be automatics, but For, at the last minute, decided to allow 5-speed cars to be built. A source at Ford said that only 1,360 cars were 5-speeds and 2,743 were automatics. 3,842 were U.S. builds, while only 261 were exports. The earliest VIN so far in the registry has a 156500 range number with a February build date. The reason for the delay in building convertibles was that the machine, which holds the body of the car to cut the top off, had problems... "They were crunching the front frames off " A few cars had to be fixed and repainted. Some of these vehicles were Limited Editions. All frames were replaced. The area to be repaired was a "BOLT-ON" item. In no way was structural integrity compromised. In the application it asks if the vehicle is a Saleen. Saleen Motorsports modified 10 of the 7-UP cars. These are the rarest of these Limited Edition Mustangs. So far, we have one in the registry.
