Default 1997 model year production units from Lexus HQ

I've been trying to get production numbers based on colors for the 1997 SC300. I contacted LExus HQ and this is what I got. Interesting because most publications say 120 were produced.

Dear Mr. x

Thank you for contacting Lexus Customer Satisfaction and for your continued patience.

We can advise the MY (model year) extracted sales for the 1997 SC 300 5-speed manual vehicles sold were 137. The system would not breakdown the color specifics. This is due in part to the number of years which have passed since the time of production. We do apologize we cannot provide you the specific breakdown.

If you require further assistance, please respond to this e-mail, or contact Lexus Customer Satisfaction at 1-800-255-3987, Monday through Friday, 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Pacific Time.

Sincerely,

I wouldn't trust that. My '95 SC300 is an automatic, yet Lexus Owner's Circle lists it as a 5-speed.

maybe, before you bought your car, someone had your car in 5spd and converted it to auto since they didn't know how to drive stick, then sold it to you since they didn't like how fast it was......

yeah, i registered my 5spd through Lexus Owners and it said mine was an auto... so no idea if they're accurate or not, especially I've tried vins of other 5spds and they came out auto...
