I check Craigslist about every other hour so I should see it if it reappears. Do you recall the price?

I'm sorry, I dont, I do remember it was more than I was willing to spend tho, otherwise I would have it. Maybe around 60?

and Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.

There are a few floating around. Good luck getting someone to part with one. Last I can recall, the car in Mass was around 60-75k. Owner is smoking something. Was 100k+ when it was first listed. It was the one was that was heavily modified and posted for sale years ago on here. Got bought by Roger Rodas and he returned it to stock but it wasn't a car that met his show car "caliber" so it was sold and the current owner swears up and down it was Paul Walkers. I know his instagram though if you'd like to contact him. There is a redfire coupe that an owner may part with down here in NC that was at the SCOA 2018 nationals but I don't know.

Buddy of mine owns a '04 coupe (I think it's #249?) but I haven't seen the car in awhile and don't know the current state. Pretty sure it's been wrecked twice now.

I remember this one too. Wasn't it formerly Paul Walker's car?

*Roger's. It's commonly associated with Walker because it was in the AE collection but Paul had nothing to do with the Mustangs or Saleen's from what I have gathered. He was the BMW, Porsche and Audi guy who owned some import cars. People just think it was Walker's due to the current owner just mis-representing the car and trying to get way above market off a "celebrity" car.

Well you burst my bubble. I saw all the mustangs in that collection and thought Paul was a big fan.

I watched a vid of Pauls collection with 10+ saleens/fox body's, GT500's, etc....you're saying he wasn't into mustangs?

He had some cool BMW's, if remember he had 4 or 5 factory lightweight E36 M3's that are probably worth 100K+ a piece

Didn’t forget you- My friend owns #121 SS vert. I promised you pics.
I was at his house last week and it was on a lift with another car under it- and it was raining- lol.
Pics are coming!! - BTW, he’s the original owner and the car has about 2500 miles on it.
He turned down 70k about 2 years ago. He told me he might take $100k if someone offered it.
I don’t believe him.
It’s simply not for sale.
If one comes up, I guess it’s valued at whatever someone’s willing to pay.
I know #376 (ZY vert) was sold in 2013 for less than $40k.
I guess in retrospect that was a deal.
I’ll be in touch... cheers to all.

No, the Saleens and other mustangs were Rogers. They created a business called AE, which gave the illusion that all the cars belonged to one person, which people assume was Paul. I bought one of the Saleens before the accident.

Paul actually had 7 E36 Lightweights. The last 5 sold last month at Barrett Jackson, for crazy out of market prices. Paul Walker has become the younger peoples Steve McQueen or James Dean. This is the ONLY explanation for the sale prices.

As for the black Cobra Saleen in MA, it has been for sale for YEARS, because of the asking price, last time I saw it, was $60k, which is half of prior listings. Have not seen it since the fall.

Well I guess he technically did own one Mustang. Wasn't there a Boss 302 track car in that lot? Or was that one of Roger's cars?

This was the BJ catalog description

"This 2013 Boss 302S race car was purchased by a fellow racing enthusiast as gift for the late actor Paul Walker. Walker took delivery of the new Mustang and it was put up on a lift for storage."

$150k ???

He figured trying to selling for $60k for a couple years was too easy. May as well up the irons!
Might be an old ad... 150k was the price he started at and eventually got down to the 60k range. I haven't seen it pop up on Craigslist which was where I was seeing it all last summer. Maybe someone bought it.
I know there weren’t many to begin with, but has anyone seen one for sale recently?

Mark LaMaskin of Performance Autosport is probably the guy to go to on anything that's Saleen.
