    Roush JBA Saleen Mustang??

    So I was off a year or two... it's that infallibility thing again. I could have checked the Saleen Book or my collection but I chose to "wing it" (no pun intended). :stupid:

    Roush JBA Saleen Mustang??

    I don't believe this to be the case. As far as I know, J. Bittle & JBA have always been local to San Diego. In fact, J's house is not that far from where I live as it is in the Claremont area. Amongst my collection of Saleen automobilia is an old advertisement from the 1984/85 era that lists...

    Roush JBA Saleen Mustang??

    I remember this article along with several others over the course of the late 80's through early 90's that featured this particular Saleen Mustang. It was/is actually James "J' Bittle's personal Saleen Mustang that he purchased in 1987 & was used by the various incarnations of his aftermarket...

    Roush PF Racing Carbon Parts....

    The last time my wife & I saw Tim was @ the Knotts show 2 or 3 years ago. If I remember correctly he was promoting some kind of a driving tour to Las Vegas or Laughlin. He regularly attended Knotts & the Saleen show which is how I became somewhat acquainted with him. Once he sold his Speedster...

    Roush It's back again!

    The return of the Earl Scheib signature Saleen... "I can paint any Saleen, any color for only ninety-nine ninety-five." :hail2:

    Roush another tortured soul

    Yep, I came across that auction, too, earlier this week. I just shake my head in equal parts despair & disgust whenever I see a Saleen so obviously abused, neglected & unloved. :nonono: Apparently there are some unappreciative people who continue to view a Saleen as merely a "Mustang...

    Roush The original Saleen Sportruck

    When was the last time you saw one of these? http://www.performanceautosport.com/detail.asp?car=5965 This is an example of the original Saleen Sportruck well before the current S331 Thunder. The last time I personally saw one was @ the Long Beach Grand Prix in the General Tire display...

    Roush SALEEN S281 “Extreme” Molly-Pop edition

    Hey, how did I get dragged back into this discussion again?!? :eek: I believe this thread has officially & unequivocally "jumped the shark." :lock:

    Roush Is this a scam?

    Like they say; "If you have to ask..." When I listed both of my vehicles on-liine I was deluged with these scam e-mails & others from photo collectors. The latter inquiries I simply ignored. The former I replied by stating I was forwarding it onto my neighbor who was an Assistant U.S...

    Roush 1993 Shelby SAAC MKII Mustang

    I remember reading the articles in Mustang Monthly, Super Ford & other publications when these SAAC Mustangs were first introduced back in the early 90's. Being a Saleen owner my first thought was that the club was merely attempting to exploit the market that Steve had already established; not...

    Roush Rough 93 car on ebay

    To clarify what I meant... I used the phrase "body in white" figuratively, not literally, hence the quotation marks. I did not mean that a complete new uni-body, normally referred to as a Body in White, would be required to properly restore this particular Saleen. What I meant was that the...

    Roush Rough 93 car on ebay

    As Animal stated this car would require a complete "body in white" restoration to locate & repair all of the rust that isn't readily visible. The fact that even the engine components are corroded indicates that it has been neglected for a long time. It may be "mechanically sound" but it's...

    Roush Ebay Saleen with 3pc Sterns

    Once again Marcus is correct. The Stern wheels used by Saleen had the flat face lip vs. the rolled lip. They are similar to the Speedline 17" wheels that Saleen offered through their parts division.

    Roush Updated pics with the new wheels

    You can't get anything past Marcus, that's for certain. :D I thought that rear 3/4 shot looked a bit odd when thinking back to my dearly departed '89. Even with the correct offset rear wheels Saleen still rolled the fender lips to allow additional clearance for the tires.

    Roush SALEEN S281 “Extreme” Molly-Pop edition

    I should have edited down dotbomb's quote to only refer to the "California blonde" portion as it was not my intention to imply anything obscene or otherwise untoward. Sorry. :(

    Roush SSC on Ebay

    I noted this Ebay posting yesterday, too, & was immediately suspicious about the authenticity of this particular "SSC" as there is so much visibly wrong with the crappy photo not to mention the minimalist description.

    Roush SALEEN S281 “Extreme” Molly-Pop edition

    What I'd like to know is how much Molly paid for her special edition Saleen? Does she really earn that much salary working @ the Saleen Store to be able to afford a $75K+ vehicle? Or was this a "gift" to her because she is Steve's daughter? If so, then did she pay the requisite gift tax on it...
