97-0089B was the last 1997 Budget rental produced. Last 3 of Ford VIN were 503. Equipped with Sportbar, Magnesium Wheels, Black top.
Saleen built 30 cars for Budget in 96, 88 in 97, and 10 in 98.
In 97, 34 cars were sticks, and 54 automatic. All had the mag wheels and sportbar, 2 had white convertible tops, 86 had black.
Budgte cars had nothing special done to the engine - just stock Saleen stuff. As far as price, I really haven't noticed much difference in price between the "B" cars and regular Saleens.
The Saleen book does have a few paragraphs about the Budget cars - the info I give above is pretty much the Cliff Notes version.
