Email through me is much more convenient in many cases, as the phones at Saleen are very busy and it's tough get anything other than voice mail.

For those who didn't know, Since April 1, Steve's SMS Supercars has been branding its cars as Saleen vehicles, and the SMS brand will play a smaller role, but it is all under Steve's control now.

I did call saleen and got a call back, but the girl could only verify authenticity which i was thankful for,especially since i had already purchased it but she was in a rush and could not give me details. Its on the 5 spoke saleens and by most my research i think 88 came with mesh. Anyone out there interested in a trade,lets. I have all 4 89 and up 5 spoke saleen wheels, missing caps and im searching for mesh wheels. text or call anytime. (323)424-6208

Default SALEEN Real or not?

I had a tree limb hit my trunk on my "Saleen" a while back. I had to take it back and they were telling me it wasn't a Saleen. I have the following information on it:



1. Saleen on all seats

2. saleen plate on console # 03-0046

3. Saleen plates on both front fenders

4. Under Hood sticker with saleen # 3S3XR010S JDA

5. Saleen plate on firewall, Saleen VIN # 3F314285

6. Saleen across rear bumper

7. Black mess in all the air holes for body trim

8. Black roll bar with brake light in it behind driver & Passenger

9. Mach Audio System

10. Sallen engine pulley system

11. Saleen Brand rims

12. Bad a** exhaust system

13. Convertable

Please help me verify this is a Saleen and send anything you can for me to show them. Thank you so much for your time.

I wasn't sure if the Ford VIN# is what you were wanting. If it is needed let me know and I will add it. Thx!

Well going by the Saleen number and VIN#

This is what it was ordered with from Saleen. This is from the Saleen Book. To see if any more info about it is available I would call Saleen.

Hi and thank you for your help. I would like to verify the authenticity of a vehicle. The VIN is 1FAFP49Y93F442918 and the badge says 03-013. The info I have been able to find says it is a white coupe but this is a red convertible.
