RE: The Unofficial, Official How Tell If Its A Real Saleen Post
Thanks Sowaxeman for the reply!!
As you can asertain from my reply to S281SC, I know nothin about Mustangs.
All I know is this little Black on Black convt. with the nasty Saleen stuff sucked me up like a newbie at a gentlemens club.
If the car had been the real deal, I would think hard about taking away what it had been born with!
I will inquire with the SVT boys for a solution!
Thanks again for the advice, this is a good site with real nice people!

RE: The Unofficial, Official How Tell If Its A Real Saleen Post
So my #26 B is one of two made for Budget with the white convertible top in 1997?
Does anyone know how I can track down the previous owners? I can contact the last two but no owners before that.
Thx,
Mike
RE: The Unofficial, Official How Tell If Its A Real Saleen Post
I'll check the registry to see how many they list. But the registry only gets updated if owners verify themselves with Team Saleen - o you are sort at the previous owners mercy on that one [&:] Short of calling the previous 2 and getting contact info from them, you are probably SOL.
RE: The Unofficial, Official How Tell If Its A Real Saleen Post
Found a saleen for sale but i cant figure out if it is real. 99 red convertable. # on bumper is #296. Vin is 724. There is the boost gauges on the dash but its not supercharged. There is not a #'d badge on the inside and the piece on the door pannel is not painted. Is it fake? Thanx
RE: The Unofficial, Official How Tell If Its A Real Saleen Post
This one is a tricky one. According to the saleen book, the bumper # and last 3 digits of the vin check out. The car was originally ordered with the twin gauges (even though it's not S/C), so that checks out too. I don't know if the piece in the door panel was painted in 99 or not......it was on the 351, but I'm not sure if they painted it on the S/C and N/A. Perhaps someone else could weigh in on that one.
Does it have chrome wheels? Does it have a speedster package (roll bar and tonneau top)? Does it have the cobra hood (two vents on the hood)? If you have the full VIN # you can call saleen and verify whether it's genuine or not.
The missing badge on the inside gives me pause, though. Does it have a plaque in the engine bay? Also, if you could post some pictures...that would help.
