S351R"Animal" said:It would make a great parts crar for someone restoring a SSC car. Just an expensive one. Not worth what they are asking. realistically its probably worth about $6000
2000xp8 said:What parts there are real and unreplicateable?
Just curious, because other than the seats, and door panels, doesn't look too hard to duplicate. But i have an untrained eye.

What he meant about being difficult to replicate. Those DP5 wheels are NLA. The rear seat delete and stereo tray, intake plaque, as well as the seats and door panels like you said. At that point those items alone would not make a replica worth it. Not telling you anythin new. XP8 disaster. A shame really. I'd like to own a noce XP8 but would be afraid to drive it.
s351rspeedster said:You are correct, all the SSC's were produced in 1989. The original 1989 SSC #184 was totalled and somebody salvaged all the parts from that car and added them to this 88 foxbody, if memory serves me correctly. The guy selling the car DOESN'T claim that it is a real SSC Saleen. I'm pretty sure he is not the person who went to great lengths to do all the work to this carTo bad though, that would be a great deal on an anniversary Saleen!!!

So, no question this is a car that was built from take-off parts from the real car. I wish the registry would be so bold as to add this type information to protect future buyers of such cars.

2000xp8 said:I had a guy make a left coming the opposite way in front of me (illegally) and i clipped his rear end.
Luckily all i did was scratch the paint and break the p side head lights.
No Saleen parts damage at all, not the hood, Ground effects, nothing.
Accidents happen, but this jerk denied responsibility, so i nudged the cop in the right direction and the cop wrote him 2 tickets. If he had said it was his fault i wouldn't of needed to protect myself.
But the point was that in an instant, all i could think of is "what am i going to do?" My trucks life passed before my eyes.
Kind of worked out, they painted the entire nose of my truck because i played the "it's a collectors item" thing.
Hood needed painting anyway. (crappy saleen job).
What's really odd is that book value on the truck is over 32,000 if they total it. I'd make a substantial profit on that.
A green and gold xp8 with minor paint damage was sold on ebay for $8000.
Whoever got it, lucked the hell out. Because green and gold sucked, but a simple decal and wheel change to silver it looks nice.
I agree!!! You both have no control! And I make it a trio. I guess you could call us the 3 Saleen Amigos.marcus95 said:You can't stop. You have little to no control! Either do I!
