Well I have a 1989 Saleen. I bought it in pretty rough shape, it had been slightly wrecked but I fixed the damage. It was rode pretty hard before I got it, and I only put about 12,000 miles on it before it started smoking, so I put her in a barn for about 3 years and I am just now getting her out to play again. I found a guy with a 50,000 original mile mustang that he was parting out (poor guy got T-boned and it totaled his 1991 Vert). I bought the drivetrain out of his car, which I should be picking up next week. I already have gt40 heads and explorer intake and throttle body that I will throw on the low mileage bottom end. Hopefully I will be pulling 285ish HP with that setup. The interior is in pretty rough shape, but it in near impossible to find replacement material, so I will probably buy aftermarket seats in the near future, or have mine redone in a similar material. Here are some pics, keep in mind these are before I washed it up after sitting for three years:



Here it is out in the sunlight:
