o6 Saleen 1246 ~ I don't think you get it my friend !? The Saleen Parnelli Jone 2007 Mustang is a Take-Off on the 1970 Parnelli Jone Mustang, that won the 1970 Can-Am Championship !!! This was a VERY BIG DEAL back then. It meant BRAGGING RIGHTS GALlORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thus it only comes in the same Grabber Orange as the 19070 Race Car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thus this is an INSATANT COLLECTOR CAR with a LIMITED PRODUCTION RUN of 500 Units !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Chuck ~ Told you to keep in touch with Mike Z the GM at Frontier Ford in Anacortes, WA. He's the go to Dealer guy for Saleens in the USA,
1-800-896-5267 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

dotbomb ~ Re PArnelli Jones Saleen, do tell more !!!

 

I guess that is why Saleen left it a more retro appearance...I know they are unique as all Saleens...and thanks for the info...It does help me understand the car somewhat better now...

 

walc ~ Seems that the Saleen warrenty issues depend on the Dealer you buy your Saleen from !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mine is 1st Class.

 

06Saleen1246 ~ Go to the SDaleen Website and click on the Parnelli Jone Mustang then watch the vidie from the NY Auto Show from this Spring featuring the introduction ot the PJ !!! This is History in the Making !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I can confirm they are orange in color and there were about 4-5 of them in one corner of the building. They were just starting the build process. I would guess they had the stock motors in them still at the time. The exterior was completely stock and the hoods were still solid. When I was there a couple weeks prior they were building nothing but the trucks.

edit: !!!!

 

Kenardo,

Nice to see your excitement about this rare vehicle. I agree it'll be rare - but not many vehicles are instant collectors. We'll see about this one. It is a nitch vehicle, and many people don't know what a Saleen is much less who Parnelli Jones is.

I agree on wanting to see it first also, that is why I have a REFUNDable deposit at my local dealer for MSRP. If I don't like the car when it gets here, or it doesn't seem like it matches up to the pictures in terms of quality, I walk - plain and simple.

I'm sure it'll be a blast to drive, but no car is a smart investment - even one with 500 production limit.

Chuck

 

Its hard to ever think of a car as a true investment. Still think they are a little over priced. BUT it is a limited production car.

 

Chuckdoc ~ Interesting comments. I remember people saying the same thing about my 55 T-Bird, Ferrari Daytona, the Shelbys and other muscle cars back in the 70' and 80's. but your right, we'll see. Smart investment or not.
