RE: My New PJ Saleen (PICS)
Hi Chuck ~ Glad to hear your getting the PJ out for some fresh air and by the sounds of it some rather sweet exhaust notes !!! Nothing like the sound of a 60s/70s Trans-Am Championship Race Car, eh. I think you should have a little more thatn 200 miles on it by now unless your under a foot of snow like we are ? Get that Pony out there and ride her. More Pics. Wheel / tire close-up. Engine. Trunk. Exhaust. Anything. Don't mess with it, keep it original. Enjoy, Enjoy !!!

RE: My New PJ Saleen (PICS)
Thanks Kenardo,
You're right about the snow. We are in the middle of a blizzard in Tulsa. 15 degrees and ice everywhere! When it gets nicer I'll post some more pictures. I haven't driven it since last weekend! For now, the pony is in the stable.
Keep us updated on your progress, and I'll get more pictures up soon!
Cheers,
Chuck

RE: My New PJ Saleen (PICS)
Saleen's designers deserve a prize of some sort for 25 year of beautiful cars. I just checked out the link to the Ron Ward site and that car looks GREAT! I dont really care for Grabber Orange, but that car looks AWSOME. Can anyone name an ugly Saleen? NO!, that's why we are a bunch of drooling fools that deal with slight imperfections (extra long side skirts, pink tail lights, and falling steering wheel badges) and could care less.... Power In the hands of a few....

Congrats on the new PJ 302 Doc............looks awesome......just awesome. I kinda felt this way before.....and now seeing it with more detail I have to say: this is the best looking S197 mustang variant produced yet.........bar NONE. And hearing a bit about the performance, well..........I can only wish for this car.
Very nice. Enjoy that car Doc........for me.

RE: My New PJ Saleen (PICS)
Two more questions:
1. Are the rear louvres metal or molded plastic? I had some of these on my Celica back in the 70s and the ones that were available them were metal.
2. I notice in the engine pics on another site that the stock air intake and box appear under the hood. Is the hood scoop functional? Does it have a vacuum-actuated flap or something?
