For future requests, it works MUCH BETTER if you give us the Saleen number and VIN.
Ditto - please don't ask us to tell what the VIN should be. While I have no reason to doubt your intent, at some point (if not already) somebody is going to be looking for the VIN number for fraudulent reasons....and we'd prefer to not be the source for that 
If you are serious about buying a used Saleen (or any car for that matter) then the seller should be able to provide the full VIN without question. If they won't or can't provide it then that should be reason #1 to walk away.
So a '97 S351 is hiding somewhere in my backyard huh  If you find out where this car is in Indiana, let me know....if its not too far away I might be able to go do a detailed look-over for you

i was just wondering if someonw could help me by providing some more information on my mustang. i have my doubts that it's a real saleen. if not, it is a spot on clone. the only saleen badge it has is one on the firewall under the hood. it has id# 03-187, which matches the number on the bumper. vin # 1FAFP42X41F229065. it's a 2001 mineral gray coupe. i've contacted saleen several times with no response. if there's any information you could provide, i would greatly appreciate it.

The "03" part designates the vehicle model year. In this case 2003. For a 2001, it would be "01."
For both 2001 & 2003 #0187, I don't see a VIN ending with 065.

I have seen ''06-1380 coupe 3V for sale in my town. Black, center exhaust, "E" hood (no other "E" markings I could see, diffusers and such) manual trans, upgraded Brembo drilled rotors (front/rear)
No price listed and do not know mileage. Thougth I would pimp his/her ride in case someone is interested, I could put in touch with seller.
