This was the very first PCR, and was built on 11/3/2003.
Its a pretty good bet that the first three number tags were set aside for PCR's built later after any kinks were worked out and destined for VIP ownership.
That's interesting, Harry. Did that happen often/with other "special" editions?
Serial number: 0004 (looks like that's the earliest # in the master list to this point)
VIN: 5150
Build date: 11/2003
Based on the details I have, it looks like this was first used by Ford in at least one auto show,
then is was a Ford fleet vehicle. In early 2005 it was showed up in an auto auction in Florida
where a Ford dealership from suburban Chicago bought it and sold it to a close friend of the owner
of the dealership. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

of the dealership. He owned it until earlier this year until he sold it back to the same dealership,
and that dealership sold it to me, making me sort of the second owner. I reside in Chicago. Photos attached. TbirdBadge.jpgTbird1.jpg
