I paid $7000.00 for mine and it is very clean. I searched for about six months until I found the right car for me.

that is a nice looking Saleen. The white 5 spokes really look nice with the car...good choice, and how you got it that cheap is beyond me..but beatiful car!

I searched for my car and joined a couple of saleen newsgroups. I really had to educate myself on the cars and the next thing you know I was meeting Saleen collectors. My wife found the car after being dragged to shows etc she found this car in a local apartment complex and begin the buying process before she even called me. Getting a saleen was our focus and now we are in search of a 65 Fatsback to add to our collection of mustangs.

there are several ways to find if it is a true saleen.
.saleen gauges
.under hood there will be a stamp of some sort not really sure of location.
.saleen seats
.saleen stickers, all saleen's have their own number, none of them are the same.
.saleen rims.
there is alot more.
who would mess up a saleen and take off the bodykit and it is kinda funny how the emblem broke off and the papers are missing, sounds like a fake.davis8337916.0449421296

Im not sure of the newer model years, but alot of off base answers here.
First stickers mean nothing. Look for the obvious.. Saleen calipers, racecraft suspension, and the plaque on the shifter area and the one under hood on the firewall. I have seen a hundred fakes and they all look super smooth, in fact my friend bought one and was totally misled (a crime by the way). Look to the things people wouldnt change... also, if you contact the saleen owners and Enthusiast chairwoman, she will help you out in an instant. She is an encyclopedia of Saleen knowledge. Again, stickers can be bought at any local joe shmoe so get on track with that. Look for the Plaques which contain build date, location, and Vin. If he aint got them hes full of s**t !!!!!!

Hey guys as I was reading the forums I wanted to ask yall some ?'s about the saleen. Yes, I do own one and by the way I'm still paying for it , real expensive too. I have a 2002 Mustang Saleen s-281 couple not supercharged and I have been wanting a saleen ever since I new about them. Now that I have one I enjoy it every bit of it. There was a thought in my head, do people really know what saleens are, other than just looks. This kid asked me if it was a "real Saleen" and I told him yes, then he told me to pop up the hood to c it inside, so I did. After looking at it he said it was a regular mustang gt. My mind just went blank and I couldn't say anything other than just stay quiet, but we were in a hurry so he took off. I said to my self that it could not be true and he just got me to think about my car more. Please answer back any one . THANKS

Thanks you guys(s-28100, jugador) I know now more of what I carry in my car. Oh by the way what do yall think of the superchargers that the saleen dealers have, there about $3,500. I wanted to buy one but this worker that works at ford told me that you can get a cheaper one for have the price or so and it stills puts out the same hp. He also told that saleen dealers , all I'm buying is just the brand off of it. I do and I don't want to put a s/c because I want to keep it original but then again people say it's just a saleen and with no s/c and that's why I want to add the s/c. Oh by the way the kid does not bother me no more now that I heard from yall, but it just got me to think a little. Thanks
