Is it a real saleen. No I still wouldnt. 25k will buy you a nice lower mileage 03 Cobra.

"2000 Ford Mustang GT Coupe"

Granted it's got a SC, and some nice work done.... One word... "Cobra." :breakdancesmilie:

Slither 08-21-2006 06:39 AM

Tell ya the truth..I have never really liked the Saleen look. I think Roush and Cobra styles have it right.

MattJ 08-21-2006 06:51 AM

I wouldnt buy that car for 15,000.
lol

spike_africa 08-21-2006 07:14 AM

if its a real saleen its a bit high i would go 18k on a real 00 saleen. My dads freinds 01 vert silver saleen just sold for $25k with low low miles.

SpinMedia 08-21-2006 07:46 AM

that thing is worth around $20,000. It IS a real saleen, low miles, and it is the supercharged version. An 04 supercharged saleen goes for $30,000+ so thats a decent price.

wnracing 08-21-2006 08:07 AM

Just out of curiosity.. How do you know that it is a Saleen? Run the VIN? Again, just curious.

The only thing I really don't like about the saleen is the front bumper. Have always loved the rear end though.

i completely agree... the front bumper seems kinda weird but the back end looks awesome.

Slither 08-21-2006 10:24 AM

Look at the side rear windows. Saleens have that different style than regular Stangs. That should tell you it's real unless there is a way to put that feature on your regular car. I have never seen those on a replica Mustang before. That is an easy way to tell them apart.

True, but I remember way back to a particular mustang Stang00 and I were looking at in the mall parking garage... we were iffy as to its authenticity, and it had those C-pillar adjustments... but something was wrong with it... like it had a V6 speedo or something =/ Maybe he remembers...

spike_africa 08-21-2006 01:11 PM

All thats on the back side windows is the saleen race stickers.

You can get that molding, it's called "Saleen Quarter Window Molding." Found it on a couple of sites via google.

Spike, I didn't notice those stickers wouldn't have even known what they were unless you pointed them out. :beerbang:

I used to detail the one i talked about when i had my detailing business in highschool. I know that car very well.

CCM 08-21-2006 08:12 PM

Nope, too old. If it were an 03 or 04 it would be a different story.

GREG@SN95 08-21-2006 08:13 PM

I like it it... if its genuine and you like... go for it... yer gonna be driving it ;)

White04GT 08-21-2006 10:19 PM

I thought saleen put diffrent seats in the car..especially the supercharged version, but I could be wrong.

Not until 03 I believe.

SpinMedia 08-22-2006 03:35 PM

Couple of things... Now remember this could always be a clone, but i have heard of people such as DeeJaySaleen who put every single authentic saleen piece that he was able to make his GT an authentic signed Saleen.

Couple of things from what I can see,

The Saleen Sail Panels
Authentic Saleen Body Kit
Authentic Saleen Rims.
The pony emblems that Saleen did use in their 99-00 stangs
Authentic looking saleen decals.

Onyl thing i cant quite see is if it has the number in the front

wouldn't a saleen have a different vin or come with a certificate.

I'm sure you can find out by asking a ford dealer how to differenciate

03AZRoush 08-22-2006 04:21 PM

No, but for obvious reasons....

whitethunder46 08-22-2006 06:15 PM

the true saleen's have engine plaques and saleen imprinted on the K-member. There's also a special sticker on the inside driver door instead of the usual one.
