I did purchase the car from Paul, but I don't believe he took this car to a convention. Paul please correct me if I'm wrong.

** yes ! Thanks again Eric. Now we talk ! Oups, the total production for 1996 (4069) don't confirm the numbers on V8SHO.com (5033, later 4730).
Eric, I understand your point but the JBL (I have it too) it's not a good starting point because the lines 91 6 and 91 R have a total of 58... The line 91 6 may be read instead as 3 Rose mist SHO have "only" the JBL without Compact disc changer. Same as for the lines 94 C and 94 3. These lines are interesting. I know here in Canada that we have laws obliging car makers to have Daytime running lights (14). Is it the same case for some others US states guys ? Maybe we have the number of canadians Rose mist here...
Otherwise, maybe we can try counting the SHO without CD changer, or with cellular (I'm one of 10), block heater (only 5) or the 2 with grey cloths seats to verify the numbers.
On a other side, I have contacted the blue oval forum for infos like this and someone answer me that they have possibly the info so in some time maybe we can compare the production numbers... (if it's not the same sheet).
Bene vobis,

I have the JBL.
Matt NOTAURIUS has the JBL.
So we surpassed the 3 already by 1.
3 out of 58 for JBL does seem low.

1) Thanks Josh, it seems that some US states have similar law for Daytime running lights. Maybe the line which Eric told before is the good one for canadian cars (1 !?). But we can see another one in the V8SHO screensaver in Ottawa... (american one ?) CANADIAN FARMBRO, ok, at first sight, it's a Canadian company working with Ford. Here is the link :

2) Ok guys, forget it about the JBL argument. JBL is a part of 211B package deal sale with sunroof, keyless entry and EATC witch are all mentioned on the sheet. 58 were made with sunroof, 58 were made with keyless entry and 58 were made with EATC. Then, 58 were made with JBL, Rose mist ones all have the 211B package. We must count the ones that don't have a CD changer (3). I have one.

I'm not sure it's useful for the registry but I just find the VIN number of the Rose mist one in a scrapyard near Denver witch we can see photos on thetruthaboutcars.com.
Owner : Unknown
Location : Denver, CO
Milage: 183 298
VIN : 1FALP54NXTA260342
Built date : 4/96
Interior Color : Grey leather
On my list, this is the last Rose mist SHO (however she is not complete). It's seems that no Rose Mist were made after the 260 *** vin numbers (i.e. Ford didn't make Rose mist SHO after april or may 1996). Maybe the info of Eric was right : It's a one paint tank batch...
The guy holding the registry can correct with that (for the last one in 260 ***, the month of this one and if possible, the total Rose Mist registred) ?
Thanks,
P.S. Hey Josh, you made a mistake with yours mag wheels.

Thanks for posting the info on the RM from The Truth About Cars Article, I have always been intrigued by that article. That car was built on 4/22/96 according to my research. Does anyone know if the car has been destroyed? Also of interest I have the following VIN info:
Kevins mrecoolgar's build date:3/19/96
Matt's (my) build date: 4/19/96
RMJosh's build date: 3/14/96
Kevins mrecoolgar's build date:3/19/96
Matt's (my) build date: 4/19/96
RMJosh's build date: 3/14/96

I just ran the numbers on that and it is NOT a Rose Mist. It is a Medium Graphite built 4/24/96.

First off the official numbers from Ford confirm 58 Rose Mist 1996 SHOs. That number is not suspect it came from Ford.
Reference the JBL system when looking at the individual option numbers, those numbers are for the number of standalone JBL systems installed in cars, not the number of JBL systems installed. There is a difference. The number in question refers only to Code/Option Number 91 6 Ford JBL Audio System. Ford reports that 3 1996 Rose Mist SHOs were equipped with the option 91 6. Now the JBL Audio System was also available under Option Pkg 210A so any car receiving the JBL system as part of the pkg do not count as having received option 91 6. Therefore there are 3 1996 Rose Mist SHOs that received option 91 6. To identify those cars you need to find the cars that have only the JBL system minus the options in pkg 210A.

Your explanation is good but the package deal is 211B and it's include keyless entry, PATS, sunroof, EATC and JBL system. You can see it, RMJosh posted his sale sheet earlier. As I said before the 58 Rose mist came with the keyless entry, PATS, EATC and JBL, we can deduct from that the 58 had the package then. Did I miss something ? The 3 ones seems have had the "stock JBL" without the CD changer contrary of the 55 others. (55+3 =58) It's the same for Day time running lamps : 14 received DRL while the 44 others have just the lights group. (14+44 = 58)
Or maybe in the 58 lot, 3 have ordered all the 211B options separately... Dealer mistake as it is the first year (?) and mostly, no deal for customers !

Oh it wasn't a mistake! Since the SHO still needs work and is just sitting while I'm driving my SEL, I swapped the wheels and tires. SHO Chromies had new tires, SEL Machined 5 Spokes had bald tires.

I see what you are saying. I was reading the radio info totally wrong.
I still think the 58 is too low, that is where the 'debunk' mentality came from. But, in total agreement with you, as I said much earlier in the thread - it is the only number we have to go on.

If I had a nickle for every time a MG was reported as a RM I'd be rich by now. And the trouble that digital cameras seem to have especially with the Rosemist color (colour on the Canadian variants) only helps foster the confusion.
Paint code GK on the driver's door sticker is still the best way I've found to say yes or no to some pictures.

Hi Eric,
Like you said, this color is little confusing. The rose mist one that I reported earlier in the post in a Denver scrapyard witch we can see photos on the site thetruthaboutcar.com, I'm pretty sure that I have found the VIN of it in a another parts site (same year, same mileage, same paint condition, same scrapyard and after check up (phone call there), same rare color too. Notarius checked the VIN on his data base and the car is reported to be Black...(?) But the photos are very clear for this one. Factory mistake or theft situation ? The car was crushed long ago now.

This time no doubt on the color but I don't have the VIN number...

Do you want to know how much time it will take to me...?
By the way, we talked before about the Daytime running lamp option that we have on the sheet, but do you know if all U.S. states require a front licence plate ? Maybe no, (because my father who going often to U.S. says that the majority of the states require them). Here in my province, it's not in use.
Thanks for the info,

I am not positive, but I do not think that a front plate is required in all US states. But your dad is probably right that it is a majority of them.
