Or even just a big auto dealer. Do dealerships not display these anymore?? I remember years ago when the Olds Aurora came out the dealership had a display of one that looked identical to this as far as the way it's cut and displayed.
And the Saturn dealership had half of a Saturn mounted on the wall, so that it looked as if a car were half inside the wall and you could kick and beat on the side panels to try to dent them (this was when that whole Saturn dent-resistant paneling thing was new and exciting, I guess).
The only thing that's odd is the fact that it's for sale on eBay. I guess some dealership went out of business? I think that if you had a car related business having something like this could be pretty badass, though not for $50k.

Oh, and for those calling it a waste of a car.... Saleen was/is certified as a manufacturer, not just a company that mods cars, like most speed shops. So if they build a development car, just like Ford or GM does to certify parts for emissions/warranty/DOT, etc, those cars can't be sold, and must be scrapped. What better way for them to recoup some of their development money than to make a display vehicle, and then sell it when it is no longer needed? Better than crushing it!
