These are OFFICIAL model year production figures for all SHO's built.
This list took a very long time to compile since these records are not
routinely kept. If you have a SHO site, please feel free to use these figures.
Special thanks to the Atlanta Assembly Plant for providing these figures.
| Model Year | Right Hand | Left Hand | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1996 | 91 | 4,942 | 5,033 |
| 1997 | 1 (one) | 10,132 | 10,133 |
| 1998 | 2,317 | 2,317* | |
| 1999 | 2,247 | 2,247* |
Total production in 4 years is an unofficial 19,730 cars. Something less than 1% of all Tauri 96-99 are SHOs. Ford quit making the SHO for model year 2000. Shame on their sorry behind.
