Default 97' SC300 1 of 500?

I have a 97' SC300. Just the normal run of the mill SC300. I pulled out the owners manual today out of the glove box to look up something in it. I noticed on the front is a gold sticker with "Limited Edition" on it. Embossed into the stick is the name of the dealership the car was bought new from and 1 of 500. Anyone have any idea what the 1 of 500 stands for?

Does it look anything special or different from other 97 sc300? Maybe it manual but only 120... Maybe you got the black/tan interior mix.

I believe the 1 of 120 are the black on black cars with a factory 5 speed made in 97. Not sure about the 1 of 500.

No there were 120 TOTAL 5-speed cars in 97, 50 of them were black on black.

It's just a ren. red with tan interior SC300, auto of course. Nothing pops out at me as being any different.

It's probably the paint code/color of the Sc, Like this special colored Sc.

Default 97 SC300 triple black 5 speed

Afternoon, y'all!

I live in north Atlanta, GA and have visited GERRBS several times. He's got some great rides!
I have one of the SC300s y'all are tracking.
It's a '97 SC300 triple black 5 speed, VIN ending in 400019.
I bought it from a 'Dad-to-be' in San Diego in 2005 with ~85K miles on it.
It's now got 390K miles an d the only 'major' work was a new clutch at 325K miles. I installed a One Plus clutch.
Great car!
*Note: I am NOT selling it!
**HOWEVER, I need some black (original paint) body parts:
passenger door, right fender, hood, front bumper cover, front grill, right headlight and right fog light.
I you have one or more of these please message me.

Thanks!!
