if your seeing other cars for same amount look to see if they have all the saleen parts ...all this car looks like is a LX with saleen body kit

I remember this car on CL. The Saleens going for this money are true Saleens. They have the real Saleen interior, exterior, wheels, etc. This car is far from that. Unfortunately your friend has a plain jane fox body w/ a body kit, decals and cheap suspension upgrades. What makes it a Saleen other than the VIN # right now? I know the guy you bought it from told you it was "all there", but the car is far from all there to be a true Saleen. Think about it, if a real Saleen goes for $8000 w/ all the Saleen parts, why would someone pay $6500 for this one w/o the real Saleen interior or wheels?

haha i get where ya coming from but just becuase it doesnt have the Saleen wheels, interior or a untouched motor makes it a fake Saleen? I understand the car is far from being a stock Saleen but its still a real Saleen with or with out the interior, wheels! Hes just trying to get what he paid for it and be done with it so if you know someone who might be interested in picking it up for $6,000 or so let me kno

It needs a steering rack i believe and hes in the process of having it replaced! Im just trying to sell the car for the kid he paid $6,000 for it so i figured if i put it up here for $6,000 someone is obv going to offer him less! Thats why i put it up here for a little more!

gtmustang00-it has the factory decals on it when i called Saleen they told me the car wasnt shipped with the decals on the car so the dealer put them on! The carfax is clean on it no accidents or nothing but a couple body panels could line up a little bit better than they do now so the car could have been in a accident in the past im not sure! The car has the factory race craft Saleen suspension!

FromGTtoSVT- Your tellng me that im trying to pawn it off as a real Saleen? I called Saleen gave them the VIN number they verified everything #605 build date was 6-30-1988 car had blue decals in the trunk not on the car, car had white wheels, and a grey interior what else would you like me to do for it to be a real Saleen?? Car has the placks and all to prove it am i missing something here??
