Gotcha 
1988 #429 checks out against the VIN. It came from Saleen with 3.55 gears, Factory Leather Seats and a Black Top.
2002 #714 also checks out against the VIN. It is a S-281 SC, Tire Upgrade w/10" out back, and Chrome Wheels

RE: The Unofficial, Official How Tell If Its A Real Saleen Post
Ok i need help, i have looked on the internet and found very little
i have a 5.0 mustang, im confused on a couple of things
first its a saleen california edition vin # 1FABP42E3KF277669
the info on the door says it was built in 6/89, but it is a 25th anniversery, which i thought was only 90 (i know they started in 64 1/2) but the chassis has a stamp in the front, left of the right headlight that say RD then ford under it, and then 1987 uder the ford. the car is paxton supercharged (sn89), has the Racecraft suspension, 4-point Rollbar, and the ARE mesh rims. exterior is white interior is grey. it also has a Cervini cowl induction hood with "Blown 302" script in a teal color on the hood that matches the "by Steve Saleen" script under the "Racecraft Suspension 5.0" script on the front fender behind the wheel. it also has a moonroof, Saleen Rear wing (extra) and still have the gt wing. i dont know the number that should be on the front bumper cause i can't find it. Please help if any info can be found on this, need answers! thank you

On the Calif editions there is no bumper number. I'm not even sure Saleen can document them. You shoudl try contacting them to see. I know they aren't in the registry. Neither are the limited edition Saleen Sport V6 cars.
