Roush 96-98 Orange Saleen???

[98 Saleen Cobra]

So today I was driving and I saw a Orange like a pumkin orange with black stripes haulin ass down the road, and it made me think because I have never heard of this color?? So did they ever make a orange Saleen between 96-98.?? Or 94-95?? Thanks..

Yes, I have seen a real 96-98 tangerine S281 in GA

I believe they made 3 96 Tangerine S281's. No S351's though. I have seen the one in Georgia. It has changed owners since I saw it last. One of the others in supposedly in the UK.

I almost bought Tangerine Saleen #56 in may of 2004! This car was really unique with its Tangerine Orange color and it being an Original Speedster with an automatic! This Saleen also was originally purchased at Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car and used as a rental! Wow, What a fun rental this would have been! It was a Unique Saleen that was one of a kind! It drove awesome for the 45,000 original miles it had back then! The seller was asking an arm and leg for the car at that time so I had to pass on it! But, I'm happy I waited!

I think they made 5 of them in that color. One is across the pond.

Wow, that's cool. I was kind of thinking that it was a fake but I guess not. Thanks guys..

CURIOUS...how did you end up with this car on the other side of the pond??

CURIOUS...how did you end up with this car on the other side of the pond??

He purchased the car after it was already across the pond in the UK.

 

[EDGE Motorsport]

ill try and dig out a few pics of the car. As for buying it, the first owner bought it over here when he came here to live (damned if i know why he left CA to live in the UK!!!)

he then sold it on to a guy here who worked for an animation company, this guy was then moving to CA to work...wierd huh... so i bought the car from this second dude..

Ill have a look tonight to see if i can drag up some pics

cheers

Yes the car that I saw was a coupe, so apparently what your telling me is that they only made one coupe in that color??

 

[S351R"Animal"]

I guess the other coupe made its way across the country or someone built a clone!

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

I don't know but the if this guy is saying that there are only 5 built and 2 are coupes. He has one, then the one I saw might be the other one, or maybe it's a clone if there is another person claiming a Orange coupe, besides the guy in the UK.

 

[Saleen Mike]

There is 1 coupe that is still stateside.

 

[S351R"Animal"]

That coupe is the one I saw a few years ago here in Georgia. I know that the owner who had it then sold it. I just never knew where it went. If only they had made a S-351 in that color! Off topic but, does anyone know who owns the 95 351 car that was silver?

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

I don't know who owns it, but maybe he sold the other car to the guy down here??

 

[marcus95]

Scott,

P.M. me if you want to know where the silver car is.

 

[EDGE Motorsport]

yep, you're correct there were only 2 orange coupes, i have one and the other is over there with you guys... there is also an orange coupe clone over there that popped up on ebay about 9 months ago
