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..

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!

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

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

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.

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?
