I was just checking out some cobras and saleen online. I ran accross this Nissan website, they have 9 SVT cobras and 3 or 4 saleens. Kind of wierd for a nissan dealership, used car manager must be into mustangs.
They have a 2002 white vert with 9K miles listed at 28K which is always negotiable. Tell me what you think about it, is it worth less because of the non saleen mods done to it? Look at the pics and you can see the S/C, which is aftermarket, but then it has the factory S/C hood, which cant be the original hood since it wasnt that way from saleen, i can tell that because it doesnt have the guage pod on the dash. I think this car was on ebay a few months ago and the person was claiming it was pushing over 600HP. It just seems like a pretty good price being a vert with 9K miles, because i'm sure you could get it for 25K or so. I bought my 02 last year for 25k with the same miles except the only difference is mine is a coupe and also N/A, but mine was all original. Makes me feel like i paid a little too much if i could have had something like this.
Also, check out the green 2000 saleen listed under the white vert. I didnt know they made that color, is it a Faleen? It doesn have the engine compartment saleen badge or the bumper no. If it is a Faleen, wtf are they doing advertising it as a saleen.

you might have to punch in ford mustang under the search if it doesnt pull it up automatically.

I'm a strong believer that if your going to modify a Saleen it should be done tasteful and with Saleen parts that could be had on your car when New for that specific year! But then again that goes with how Rare your Saleen might be, options it came with etc... The One of a kind Saleens, which there are quite a few of for each year made, you might not want to do much to them and keep them original! No Mods and don't drive them, but wheres the FUN in that?
What ever the reason one bought their Saleen for, Hopefully its to be driven and for Fun!
And by the way Cali S281 SC It only took you 3 months to find the right car??? It took me about 1 1/2 years on the first Saleen and more time on the others, which drove and has driven my wife crazy on a daily basis!
