Default Ernie is right!

How many were built depends on who you ask!

Some say as low as 109 and some say as many as 323.

My research has found that over 300 bodies were pulled from the molds. (many were sold seperately or traded for services)

Excalibur kept very poor records and most of that was dumped when the production lines were shut down.

175 VIN numbers were issued though the highest number assigned is #167.

I've also discovered that several VIN #'s were skipped (unused) and several cars were re-VIN'd ( example: built in '94 with a '94 VIN then re-VIN'd and sold as a '95.)

Two were wrecked and "re-bodied"

My best guess to date is 132 total.

"DLS" here on CC had the last (uncompleted) Cobra from the line.
which he recently sold.

I have 2 Excaliburs including the very "Last One" to leave the plant. (components only)

As for changes, very few through the short production period.(approx 3 years)

The first (and possibly the second...which I'm still trying to confirm) had a 351, the rest had the 5.0.

NOTE: There is also the black "R&D" Excalibur with the 4.6L Cobra engine, which could be argued as the "last"

Two were sold with superchargers.

Two were sold with the hard top option, and my "Last One" makes three.

Hope this helps!
