is it a real saleen?
hey its a little late to tell you this but on the foxbody saleens you cannot tell if they are a real saleen or not just by checking the vin #. You see all foxbody saleens were just regular LX mustangs despite what you may hear saleen never changed the vin # on these cars. if you run the vin on the car it will always come back as being an LX 5.0. Saleen took delivery of these cars and did the following: 5 lug conversion, carerra suspension, subframe connectors, s-trim supercharger from vortech(optional), a small number sticker on the front left of the bumper, saleen 4 wheel disc brakes, saleen window banner, saleen ground effects, saleen exhuast, recarro seats, saleen plaque on the console in the front of the shifter with the same number designation as appeared on the bumper, front strut tower bar, the 87 saleen also had "saleen mustang" stitched on the interior door panels, saleen graphics running from the front spoiler along the side ground effectsto the rear bumper that were available in blue or gray(you could also get this car with a factory delete option which deleted these graphics), saleen wheels either a mesh BBS looking wheel or a five spoke cookie cutterdark grey wheel (both wheels had saleen center caps with the "s" logo),saleen alsoput an id tag on the inside of the hatchback but i cant remember where exactly i think on my 93 saleen its over near the right upper corner, i belive the rear gear ratio remained the same as it was in its stock LX platform unless it was supercharged.</P>
saleen built the car in a hatchback, coupe, and convertableversion(if the cars a coupe or convertable im not sure where the id plate is in the trunk) but if hes still got the car re check what i told you, because you cannot rely on the vin number alone for fox body saleens despite what others have told you. I think the car may be fake though because he said he took the saleen emblems off and the 87 foxbody saleens did not have any emblems on the exterior. just a number and optional vinyl graphics. I wish i could have replied to your postearlier but i just joined today. If the cars been heavily moded most of the saleen equipment will be gone but look for the console plaque and that id tag! I hope i was helpful.</P>
