These are the tools.

Rememebr they had that 93 rust bucket on a few times. They sure know how to make rust look good though.

Who knows what unpleasant surprises lurk underneath all that shiny new paint, restored interior & other obviously recent cosmetics...

I haven't yet checked the Saleen Book to confirm some of the claims about the car, but I'm rather dubious about the "factory installed roll cage" claim in particular. As far as I know Saleen never offered roll bars &/or cages in their Fox-bodied cars other than the SSC & the SC. Even those were of a completely different configuration than the one depicted installed in this '88. The one shown on this particular Saleen looks similar to either the Kenny Brown Street Cage or the Dugan Racing design.

I know that the roll bar offered by Saleen Performance Parts for the Fox-bodies was a single hoop design that bolted or welded to the floor directly @ the base of the rear seat & also bolted to the shoulder harness attachments points on the B-pillars, similar to the old JBA design, as I installed one in my '89 in the mid-90's.

If it was a Factory installed roll bar, Brad made no mention of it or the other 13 cars with that option in the Saleen Book. I don't think he would've missed that. It's definitely not an SSC Bar.
