On the driver side, open the door and look on the metal plate in the door jam. There is a build date on there like
10/02 for October 2002.
Have fun:D

Give Eric at HELIX13 a call
1-877-HELIX13
and ask him when his MC was built. And when he got it.
I think he told me it was the first one to arrive in the US.

My MCS was built on May 29, 2002. I took My car home with 6 miles on June 20, 2002. To find the actual production date you can ask your dealer.

My MCS was born on Jan 16th 2002. It has to be one of the first. It was the first MCS to reach Orlando Fl.
