Im with you. I’m just a spectator in the sport of buying low mile collector cars. Merely sitting in the stands cheering people on.

Yeah! Devil is in those small details. The 03-04 Saleen cobra kept the OE Ford hood. That’s one way to spot those Saleen cobras. A quick way to spot the earlier ones is the front brakes. Saleen didn’t change the front cobra brakes on most of them. Saleen didn’t convert many Cobras.

About 50 of the 1999 S351’s were made. Very few of them.

@@PuristMotorsports 40 21 coupes

That’s what I get for not double checking. Of those 40 only 30 of them are actually 1999 Ford models and the other 10 are 2000 chassis Ford models. But all are 1999 Saleen S351 models. EPA rule ran out on 12/31/1999. So Saleen could build them as 99 models through that date. That’s why there are ten 2000 model chassis converted to 351’s.

It’s a 1993 Saleen SA10. Chassis 02 of a run of 9. So yea, it definitely doesn’t look like an 2002 for sure.

I’m with you on styling. The only 94-98 Mustang styling I like is the Saleen. And even then I’m chasing a Saleen fox or a 99-04 Saleen before going after them.

Modern technology and power numbers can easily wipe away the pasts muscle in a hurry. It can make former numbers look small or average. But to those of us that lived it, these were kings of the streets at the time.

I’m sure you will own one in the future. Dreams can come true if we are disciplined enough to follow them. I still want a 90’s 911 really bad. The 993 is my favorite air cooled Porsche. My problem is I want the equivalent of a Saleen in that 911. The RUF Porsche. Unless I win the lottery, I’ll always be a spectator in that sport.

Plenty of Saleen’s were built from 87-91 without Flofits and door panel inserts. Ford leather interior was a Saleen option. Never say never with Fox Saleen’s.

I’m 100% in favor of this suggestion. 🙌

The amount of crappy ads is amazing. People are lazy now and don’t seem to care. My friends and I trade links to ads that are so poorly written and the pictures are so poor. It’s almost laughable these days.

@MWILSON7 I’m going to have to 🤐 As a former broadcast engineer from 25 years ago the modern internet broadcast age has brought about so many failures. Proper English is one in the ads that is awful.

Thanks Chet. Not everyone thinks about those things affecting their investment.

I believe you’ve proven my point that there are a lot of assumptions drawn on where the influence came from. No one at Ford has ever said specifically what it was. I have magazines with articles on that Roush car from 25+ years ago. I could see where the idea is viable too. The SAAC cars had A LOT in common with the 93 Cobra. More parts than the one off custom prototype Roush did for 1989. The 93 cobra had a cast GT40 style intake and iron GT40 heads which were cast and iron versions of what was used on the SAAC cars. The side skirts and details of the SAAC more closely resemble the 93 cobra than the Roush prototype to me. I’ve been around both cars and I’m making my own conclusions. To each their own. Either way, it’s a good thing the 93 cobra happened because ever since 1993, Ford has had a high performance Mustang in the lineup. One could argue that without the 93 Cobra we wouldn’t have the modern GT500’s or the GTD. Things would likely look different than they are now.

Owner is top notch! Has a great collection too.

@@PuristMotorsports He also has the #2 M81 race car and ALL the SVO's!

Yup! He and I chatted a good bit about both cars. Kendal is a great guy! Plus the other cars he has are select as well. Mark knows him really well. Just need to make a trip and we can do video on those rare pieces there.

Around that for sure now. And that price was for the less expensive MkII. 😳 you could buy a 911 for equal or less.

51k is 115k in today’s money.

There’s something about the color. I can remember seeing these color cars and trucks and even the Astro vans from GM in it and just not really liking it too much. The color is eye catching. The older I get I do believe it has become nostalgic and has grown on me immensely. It was a color that didn’t sell well with the Fox Mustangs. But now it’s iconic and highly sought after. I’ve said it before but it reminds me of the violet (purple) E36 M3’s that are now sought after. Cool colors from the 90’s.

The whole interior conversion required a floor pan from the S550. Mainly because of the size of the 10 speed auto. The same shop did the whole build and they aren’t building for clients. It’s like Jay Leno’s garage. They only work on cars in the collection or help out close friends.

@@willitohernandez1094 it’s anyone’s guess. Easily a 6 figure car. As to how far into six figures is really impossible to guess.

Ok, just figured youd have more of an idea than me. Was just curious. 5.0 foxbodys here in long island Ny have gone up in price. Few years ago weren't worth much. ​@@PuristMotorsports

Good thing you jokingly asked!! I want to say that Calypso one had the rare Logic Wheels on it. There’s one in that area that is supposedly still with its original owner. 93 Cobras were a steal for what they were. Somewhat expensive. But not near as expensive as a Saleen.

@PuristMotorsports I remember the price on that 93 Cobra. I looked at the MSRP on the car. The price was $21,500.

Good eye. All 87-93 Saleen’s had upgraded 5 lug all wheel disc brakes.

Somewhat rare. The earlier versions that used Velcro are rare-er.
