is this car still for sale? Give me another month or so and I will take it off your hands. Just focusing on other things at the moment. I'm local from S.F.C.

Congrats to the op if the deal was fair. It's very difficult to get fair money in the winter

Your right about getting decent money for anything. I think this one sold a few months ago though. Wish I had the cash at the time. Neat car with some history behind it.

Oh ya. Definitely a rarity. Saleens hold their value really well too. They'll all be relatively valuable given time.

I cringe thinking of what I'll put up for sale if I ever see one of these on eBay/fs (house, wife too maybe?)

Sr wide body is...godly but way outta left field price wise. Sadness kicks in and I give up the idea of ever having one. (Pulls out .38 and turns out the lights.)

But honestly those cars are going to be worth millions. I think 8 were produced.
