Hi Guys,
Love your passion and effort.
Investigating a car that could be a rare right hand drive Saleen, but a not 100% sure from the VIN and the car is on the other side of the country, so can't look for myself.
I am hoping you guys can help.
The car is part of a deceased estate collection and the family cannot offer any documentation for this vehicle (11 in the former collection and this was the only Ford).
The engine number is listed as: SF131069
VIN: 1FALP42D0SF182305
I have requested a picture of the door chassis number, which I can supply tomorrow hopefully.
A national search of all State registrations only have the VIN listed as a 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra (see attachments).
Ford Australia imported a few Mustangs to Australia and the factory performed the conversion from left to right-hand drive.
Due to a long history of stupid car importation laws in Australia, I have a sneaking suspicion that this car has a 5.0l motor instead of the 351.
I would appreciate any help to confirm if this is a Genuine Saleen Mustang and what specifications should it have?
Can anyone provide images of the bumper numbers and other identification tags commonly referred to on this thread because they just don't exist in here. If I can show the daughter of the former owner what to look for, we might get some answers.
Cheers,

After 4-5 days of research and help from awesome Mustang people and I can report that it is a 1995 Cobra Faleen with aftermarket Vortech supercharger.
Even a Cobra R would've been nice. The search continues....

Hello people, is anyone able to help with a little bit of information on an 'apparent Saleen?
The vehicle in question has been put up for sale here in the Uk and advertised as a Saleen Extreme no. 06-0947. The seller states it is a fresh import but wont post any engine or interior photos and the listed price is stupidly low approx $19k, it has also had a gawd awfull aftermarket bodykit fitted and repainted 50 shades of lime green! I wont post a photo as it will hurt your eyes.
Thanks all

02 Saleen verification
Just wondering if the car I got is a Real SALEEN? It looks like it has been sitting outside and in the weather for a while. Bought it to fix up, but was just curious. It also has a supercharged badge which I believe it was a NA motor if it is real.

Cory Lee....gonna need the Saleen Serial number in order to help.
Kylez....that car checks out. 02-599 was built from VIN# ending in 259. Also it was Supercharged by Saleen when built.
Jemily11....this post if for cars from 1985 thru 2003 as that is when the Saleen Registry was published. 2004+ you will have to call Saleen, or may Jim D can assist.
