Saw the firewall tag, but it didn't have a serial number. It looked a bit like the '89-'90 dash tag in that it was squarish and had the stylized S logo and I think Saleen on the bottom. It appeared aluminum with the black silkscreen logo. Didn't see one on the console but I don't remember if the console was in it or not. He took the picture and sent it to me, he's an old....
Looks to be 1FALP42T5RF113773, 1FA = Ford USA, L = Active Safety Belts, 1st gen airbags, P42 2 door coupe, GT, T = 5.0 HO, if a S351 they would have replaced the engine anyways, trans too? 5 = Vin check, R = 1994, F = Dearborn, 113773 = 13773rd car from Dearborn.
I think the color is NA which would be Deep Forest Green Metallic. JA is Sapphire Blue, JU is Deep Violet Metallic, no code for Sapphire Purple, could NA mean not applicable in this case? The inside of the doors were Teal which is RD.
DSO is 52, Dallas. Body is GT2 or GTZ? Interior Trim looks like 24 or 26? R looks like H or M? Axle is Z = 3.08 Limited Slip. Trans appears to be 5 = T5OD, the only other thing close is K = TR-3650, but I think its 5. Not sure what the JH55 after it is, but come to think of it, those 5's don't look like the other 5, maybe it is a K?
If they replaced the engine (some reference the S351's being built from V6 or V8 cars) its possible the trans was replaced too, would they also repaint cars?
To be clear, I'm not trying to prove its a Saleen, I think its a Faleen, I just want to be sure.
