Yes, it's number 246. It's located in California. Manual trans, chrome wheels and black stickers. Here is a pic:

Nice car Leather or cloth interior? I notice your car has the heat extractor hood. Do you know if that was added by a previous owner or is it original to your car?

Black leather. Took it down to Saleen many years ago and Steve signed it on the dash. I added the hood, but still have the original hood.

I just acquired the rear bumper and soon the sideskirts to an original 96 tangerine saleen. I’m not sure what car they came off of, but supposedly it was wrecked and rechassied

 

[TIGGER]

Bummer. Sad to hear that.

I just wonder what car they came off of now? I wish I could find a tangerine gt for them, but I’m going to use the kit on my rio car. So they’re going red loll I’m going to leave the orange over spray on the back side tho because I think their origins are cool. Haha

All, I have created this group on Facebook dedicated to finding all of the remaining 1996 Bright Tangerine Saleens.

This Facebook group is dedicated to the owners of the 1996 Bright Tangerine Saleens. Figured it would be nice to help track down all the owners and share pictures and stories of their Bright Tangerine Dreams. Non-Bright Tangerine Saleen owners may be added to this group to help with historical knowledge and locating other Bright Tangerine Saleen owners. Please join the Facebook group and let me know when you join if you saw this post. Thank you!

I sold them to Steve and that's who you got them from; he's a good guy. The orange parts are genuine from Saleen. I redid the paint back in 2004 and bought a new Saleen body kit to make it easier on the painter.
