A REAL SALEEN: They have the ID plates. one on the shifter plate, and one on the passenger side firewall(87-93's) and the driver side firewall(94+), they have the number in the front driver side bumper, and also for a fool proof secret area, they have the number stamped on the cross member under the car. You will still find fakes though, but the 100% way to tell is to call up Saleen and ask to speak with Liz Saleen, and have her run the VIN for you. There were also some GT saleens made in 90 and 93, I just bought my old one back. They are called GT Sports, and just consise of the Racecraft suspension and a registration, a spoiler, and the old ARE 16" wheels. They aren't as popular as the other's though because they have the boxy GT ground effects. I didn't even know they existed until I saw one for sale, and I called Liz, ran the #'s and it was good.
I just got through converting my 89 GT into a Saleenized car....Just suspension, and I bought my heads, rockers, and interior from them, so if you all want you can bash me for that, but like Steve says "Duplication is the greatest compliment"
I DO agree however that if you have just a plain GT and put Saleen or Steeda badges and stickers on them, you are a imposter, but if you DO buy their stuff and use it, Stickers is kinda like advertising?? right?
And also...the V6's with GT shiznit and Cobra badges is a bunch of BS
