Ya it looks real to me! It has the correct interior, steering wheel, wheels those seats are not easy to come by so I would say it is real! The only thins I noticed different was the hood, rotors, and it is missing the trim insert that covers up the mustang logo on the front bumper! It would also worry me that it has been repainted with only 44k on it

I did you a favor and sent the following email to techline@saleen.com. I will let you know what I hear.

1FABP41E9KF172068
That is the VIN on the car. Here is a link to some pics of the car as it sits now. I am not interested in buying this car, but a friend from a mustang forum is interested in it, and wants to know if it is real. Thanks for any help you can provide for this car. I personally think it is a shame that they modded this car the way they did, but different strokes for different folks I guess. Thanks.

They claim it is #372 made in the 1989 model year.

I have contacted Saleen about converting my 87GT into one and they were more then happy to sell me parts to make it one.

Looks real, abuddy of mine here at work has a 89 saleen vert in the parking lot right now.

I know for a fact they made them because I drove them when they were new.

Doesn't it go up if the key is in the "on" position?
