2000 #136 checks out legit with that VIN number  It was shipped on 11/12/99 and recieved the Composite Hood (although doesn't say its an SC so I assume its an N/A car), 3.55 rear, Chrome Wheels w/Tire upgrade w/10" rear wheels, Saleen Mats, Twin Guage Pod.
BTW - its sister car #137 has all the same options, except its a Speedster ('Vert) and was shipped the same day. I'm thinking you need to find that one too and park them side by side in the garage 
Thanks to David, Mike, Saleen326 and the other guys in here that answer all the questions before I can get to them. The Saleen Book is a very valuable tool and should be utilized prior to the purchase of any Saleen if you are in doubt

I just bought a 1998 S351 convertible, #31 ..Its black w/ Gold powder coat wheels, Vin checked out w/ Saleen but I have no Idea how to value it. The car has 32000 miles. Carfax is true, and I paid $18,000 >> I have Original sticker from saleen with a price of $67000,Think I got a good deal or is this just a old saleen mustang.
Well I would say you got a great deal considering you hardly see S-351's going for much less than $30k...some well above that! The miles aren't too bad, whats the condition....is it a DRIVEN car with all the nicks and dings to show for it or is it in showroom condition? Any disclosed problems or problems that were fixed? $18k is pretty low IMO, so I would wonder if something is wrong with it or if the seller really didn't know what its worth. Hopefully its the latter and you can rest assured that you got a great deal
Here is the Nada Report....the S-351's seem to stay around HIGH or maybe fall down around AVERAGE retail, but not below the LOW mark: http://www.nadaguides.com/default.aspx?LI=1-22-1-5013-0-0-0&l=1&w=22&p=1&f=5014&y=1998&m=1348&d=5402&c=7&vi=86115&z=46142&da=1

Thanks my friend, for your help. Whether I buy this particular Saleen or not, I will be purchasing once I find the right one.
