Unfortunately the registry does not record color [:@] You need to call Patti at Team Saleen for that info. At the same time you should request a copy of your Saleen Letter of Authenticity - this will also tell you what your car is (1 of X, or maybe 1 of XX)

Oh boy am I scarred to even post mine now after looking stuff up on the net.

The number plaques everywhere say: #678
and the ID: 1FAFP42X92F210609

Can people make fake dash and tags for stangs that easy?

People can fake just about anything - including your dash tag [:@] BUT - fortunately for you those numbers match up for 2002 #678 The only options listed for that car were Chrome Wheels.

What are you missing bodykit and suspension-wise? You should have these Saleen componentsalready.

So why did you have to buy these parts [&:] Other than the seats which were optional - your car should have already had the complete body kit and complete suspension! Hopefully it was wrecked and not restored correctly - or appears we could have our first MF case of VIN tag fraud [&:][:@][&:][:@]

Can someone please tell me if this is the real saleen. I'm about to purchase it in less then 10 hours and i don't know if it's 100% real.
The vin number is 1FAFP42X1YF303018 however there is no number on the front bumper at all... From the pics i can see the saleen sticker under the hood on the firewall, i can see the badge under the cd player and everything else pretty much looks like saleen. I can't see the numbers from the pics though... It's 2000 Saleen s281 with supercharger... So can someone please tell me if it's real and what's the number.

my email is boostinfd@gmail.com

Thanks a lot.
