Black interior is what people usually want, it would be great to have a 5 speed and black interior. Which is why I'm planning to have a 5 speed swap in the future

It's rare right off the bat if it's a 5spd, then black interior alone is pretty rare, nakamichi audio system are all pluses

It's right there on the second page of the PDF towards the right center of the page, right under the performance numbers. It is labeled Total Units Produced.
If you look at 1997 for example, it shows these figures:

TOTAL UNITS PRODUCED
SC 400 - 2,261
SC 300 Manual Transmission - 120
SC 300 Automatic Transmission - 2,509
Total - 4,890

Let me know if you still don't see it.

Thanks.

'97 5 spd and rsp sc300 are among the rarest. You would be hunting for quite some time if you decided to get one.

if you've never done it or researched it, hard.
if you've done it before, it's lust labor intensive.
