Correct, they are simply consolidating. Saleen left the company to start a new project.

One of the reasons he left was he had ideas he wanted to try that were not Ford related and the S7 was dropped after last year or the year before because emissions standards were getting too hard to get past.

Pretty sure they are just moving locations. I was able to track down the sight where they were auctioning of everything and bought 210 Saleen Ford Focus Shifter ***** for $115 and got 900+ Saleen Ford Focus clutch and pedal sets for $200. My buddy got 2 sets of Parnelli Jones wheels for $1500. We are picking them up in irvine today. haha
