Nice looking car! I don't see too many SVT Contours around. I always liked them though. Welcome!

Gorgeous car, and in fantastic shape!!

I still have my '98 SVT Contour (black) as my daily driver, with just about 143K on the clock. The exterior shows the wear, including bumper sag, although the mechanicals and interior are in great shape.

Thanks, it took alot of work to get her back into shape. When I bought it was in bad shape. The engine had a knock and several body panels were missing. The only reason I bought it was because of the low milage. 6 months and a few dollars later...Ok so I could have bought another car with the money I have invested in it, what can I say its a sickness.:)

i've always liked the TRed/PTan color combo, i think that might be my next choice if i ever buy another SVTC... that or a TGreen one...

By the way, that is one CLEEEEAAAANNNN engine bay... was also wondering what rims your running? size and brand...

love the car!
