Default 01 SOM WS6 production numbers

I have been researching the production numbers on how many where built and I have a numbers of 189 and 195. Which is it? I would like to put on my license plate 1of189. But I want to be sure I have the right number. Thanks for any help.

There is very little information available on 2001 birds. Where did you even see those 189 and 195 numbers??

The only way you could find out for sure is to contact ASC (who did the WS6 conversions).

Yep, Marty Straub is the ASC guy.

Thanks for posting that! If more people who've gotten numbers from ASC would do that, we could piece together the whole list

That would be nice like how the Firehawk site does, but I was thinking of something easier (should've made my post clearer)... If a couple of people with each color in each year were to post the stats from their ASC email like yours, then we would have the color production totals info (at least for WS6s) that is so sparse in several years

Don't know how much this will help but here it is. How did you come up with the #2 orange WS6 built from your build number? Mine was the 5,554th WS6 converted, but I have no idea which number orange car it was.


Hi John,

I'm still way behind, but I'll get yours out a little "early".

According to our records, your S/N 137616 is an orange 2001 WS6 with T-Tops
and a manual transmission. It was converted by ASC February 20, 2001 and
was our build number 5,554.

The 2001 model year WS6 breakdown is:
7,869 WS6s built
7,088 T-Tops
4,107 manual transmissions
365 orange

With your specific combination (orange, T-Tops, manual trans), we built
195.

Sorry, but we didn't track interior colors.

I hope this information is helpful. Thanks for your patience.
