Hi all - first post on the Saleen board. In the process of selling my 65, and considering a 99-up Saleen to replace it - if I can find the "right" car.
Anyway, stumbled across 00-68 - 281SC vert, Saleen leather, chrome wheels, hood, big brake, etc. Definitely a hi-dollar optioned car. Asking price is $25k with 28k miles.
Two question marks - Sunburst Gold paint and automatic transmission. Definitely a loaded, unusual car, but are the gold paint and/or automatic considered major drawbacks on this type of car??? I'm sure it's a 1 of a kind, but as we know, rarity and value don't always go hand-in-hand?
One UNUSUAL thing that stuck out at me - the inner fenders and such under the hood are all painted a "beige" - not the same metallic gold as the outer body panels. All paint "appears" to be original - showing wear, no marks on bolt heads, etc, and the vin stickers & paint codes match... Did Ford use different paint on the bare chassis with this color???
Whatcha think???
