As with other Neon Registry reports, 1999 ACR “production numbers” are VIN-based, not sales or registration estimates. If a 1999 Neon ACR was assigned a VIN, it is counted here, including pre‑production, demo and test vehicles.
1999 is the first model year in which all Neon coupes and sedans, including ACRs, were produced at Chrysler’s Toluca Assembly Plant in Mexico, marking a major shift from earlier Belvidere‑built cars. It is also the final year for the first‑generation (1GN) Neon ACR, making surviving cars an important bookend to the original ACR program.
On the color side, 1999 is the last year you could order an ACR in PB3 Intense Blue or PS4 Bright Platinum, so Toluca‑built, last‑year 1GN ACRs in these colors represent some of the rarest and most desirable combinations. Overall ACR production is the lowest of any year, with only 228 ACRs built in total.
As before, the 1999 Neon ACR carried no exterior badging to identify it as an ACR and was built on the base model shell with very few power options to help reduce weight. The package included adjustable Koni struts, thicker sway bars, stiffer bushings, 4‑wheel disc brakes without ABS, and a shorter‑ratio gearbox for better acceleration, preserving the ACR’s reputation as a lightweight, track‑focused Neon right through the final 1GN model year.
For earlier years of the first‑generation program, visit the 1995–1999 Neon ACR & R/T production index for full totals by year, body style and model.
