I searched for my car and joined a couple of saleen newsgroups. I really had to educate myself on the cars and the next thing you know I was meeting Saleen collectors. My wife found the car after being dragged to shows etc she found this car in a local apartment complex and begin the buying process before she even called me. Getting a saleen was our focus and now we are in search of a 65 Fatsback to add to our collection of mustangs.<IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">

there are several ways to find if it is a true saleen.
.saleen gauges
.under hood there will be a stamp of some sort not really sure of location.
.saleen seats
.saleen stickers, all saleen's have their own number, none of them are the same.
.saleen rims.
there is alot more.
who would mess up a saleen and take off the bodykit and it is kinda funny how the emblem broke off and the papers are missing, sounds like a fake.<edited><editID>davis83</editID><editDate>37916.0449421296</editDate></edited>

Im not sure of the newer model years, but alot of off base answers here.</P>
First stickers mean nothing. Look for the obvious.. Saleen calipers, racecraft suspension, and the plaque on the shifter area and the one under hood on the firewall. I have seen a hundred fakes and they all look super smooth, in fact my friend bought one and was totally misled (a crime by the way). Look to the things people wouldnt change... also, if you contact the saleen owners and Enthusiast chairwoman, she will help you out in an instant. She is an encyclopedia of Saleen knowledge. Again, stickers can be bought at any local joe shmoe so get on track with that. Look for the Plaques which contain build date, location, and Vin. If he aint got them hes full of s**t !!!!!!</P>
Good luck man!</P>
