    Roush Rough 93 car on ebay

    CarFax is a useful resource when investigating the history of a used vehicle prior to purchase. However, it is just that; e.g. a resource (one of many) that cannot always be trusted to be 100% accurate as I discovered from previous experience both as a seller & buyer. The person that...

    Roush Any Leads on a AOD Fox Saleen ?

    Even more depressing is that based on this math, I'm more than 10 years older than Marcus & thus 20+ years older than Robert. YIKES!!! :eek:

    Roush Any Leads on a AOD Fox Saleen ?

    At one of the first JBA shows I attended in the late 80's (when they were still located on Dagget Street in Kearny Mesa), there was a Fox-body Saleen convertible that had an AOD transmission. If I remember correctly it was Cabernet Red with gold graphics, gold mesh wheels & tan interior. At...

    Roush Steve Saleen importing cars from China?!

    Before Steve completely hitches his proverbial wagon to the Chi-Com auto industry, perhaps he should read this column from one of my favorite commentators: http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/CharlesKrauthammer/2007/06/29/chinese_tinker-cars

    Roush Steve Saleen importing cars from China?!

    Gazing into my admittedly hazy crystal ball... I can foresee a time when Saleen Incorporated severs their current relationship with FoMoCo & aligns themselves with another major manufacturer for their more plebian offerings. There have been rumors & public statements made in the recent past...

    Roush SR94-11 Up for sale again?

    That particular color combo & model was my "dream Saleen" back in '95 because it was the feature car in all of the advertisements & magazine articles. Unfortunately it was & remains too out of reach financially for my modest budget. Perhaps the person who purchased this particular vehicle...

    Roush Scam

    Ah, you beat me to it. I was just about to post the reappearance of the perpetual eBay Saleen scam. Now that I've actually purchased a few small items via eBay (model cars & some SVTF literature) instead of just perusing the site, I have to wonder why bogus listings such as this car continue...

    Roush Saleen Fathers Day Concours

    I agree with Dennis. This show would have made more sense (& certainly would have garnered more interest from people such as myself) if it primarily featured Saleen produced vehicles. This was a perfect opportunity for the muckety mucks @ Saleen Incorporated to promote the history of the...

    Roush looking for some CarDomain pages

    Here are the links to my CD pages: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2199658 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/30589 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/29250 The first link is to my 1998 S281 Cobra Speedster & hasn't been updated with the LeMans wheels & tires (thanks, Marcus) or the other minor...

    Roush Visiting Saleen Headquarters

    Yep, back in the good ol' days of the 9 Whatney location (& even prior to that) just about any Saleen owner could receive a guided tour of the production facility just by showing up. Sometimes you didn't even have to ask for one; the staff would actually offer to do it. My personal experience...

    Ah, well, the same thing happened in April with the Knotts show, too. By the time the weather here cleared up it was too late to drive up there. :( But do tell about this "conversation"...

    Roush Saleen Show September

    I just came across that same article on another enthusiast website to which I subscribe. Who woulda thunk it that Steve would throw in his lot with the Chi-Coms?!? :shock: As for the annual Saleen show, it is not listed on Saleen's website nor that of SOEC. Therefore one would have to...

    Roush Saleen Show September

    I've been wondering about this myself now that the Saleens are out of the picture @ Saleen Incorporated. As Marcus implied, the new owners have demonstrated over the years that the heritage & history of the company & products that bear the name "Saleen" are irrelevant to them except as a...

    Roush Front Facia Number Installation Template

    Generally on Fox & SN95 cars, the last digit of the s/n is aligned with the seam where the driver's side headlight lense transitions to the side marker lamp portion of the headlight assembly. For the vertical alignment, drop a line straight down from the bottom of the headlight lense & measure...

    Roush Just when you think sellers couldn't get any more delusional

    Yep, when I was visiting a friend in Tucson over the Thanksgiving holiday last year we perused the inventory @ a couple of local Ford dealers as he has a 2006 Mustang. One dealer had a silver S281E with $5K off the price. Of course the dealer had added one of those ubiquitous "market adjusted...

    Roush Rough 93 car on ebay

    It also looks like that nice, shiny black paint job was sprayed right over the rust spots. As others have stated, it would take quite a bit of work & $$$ to get it back into a presentable condition; probably more $$$ than it will ever be worth.

    Roush Any Saleen Meets this October in Santa Monica/Marina Del Rey area

    Dennis beat me to it; e.g. the SDMC show @ the Embarcadero the 2nd Sunday in October. I didn't mention it earlier because I assumed you didn't want to stray too far south from your LA location. The show usually is the 1st Sunday of October but was probably moved back a week this year so it...

    Roush 89-93 Saleen Shift Knob For Sale

    Jeepers!!! Ten years or so ago I sold the original knob from my '89 to a friend for about $25 when I replaced it with a Momo knob to match the Momo steering wheel. Kinda reminds me of the fuel log I sold to someone for $10 that came off of my '65 2+2 on which I had installed an original...

    Roush Steve Saleen Retires

    Yep, this officially confirms what us old-timer Saleen owners have long suspected; e.g. the company that bears his name is no longer controlled by Steve & hasn't been so for the past several years. Steve's involvement has continuously been diminished to the point that he was just a public...
