Oh man what a discrace to Saleen and Mustangs in General.

1hot5.0 · 08-26-2002, 08:43 PM

I was searching on e-bay today, and found this Saleen (he claims for it to be real, however I see no numbers under the drivers side headlight, maybe carfax could prove it or something). The car looked half way decent until I saw the spoiler! OMG! It looked like it was off of a ricer! Let me know what you guys think. Im getting tired of all of this rice stuff going on stangs.

OOOO GAWD that makes me want to sale mine and get a cobra!!! YUCK however I do like the color but the rest BLOWS!!

foxbodied · 08-26-2002, 10:37 PM

Funny thing i was looking at that car before i cam eback here. I saw and thought the paint job and everything was nice until i saw the spoiler. Theres another stang 99+ thats riced out. Its blue i was gunna post it but i already posted a nasty mustang earlier today.

mustangman65_79 · 08-27-2002, 12:09 AM

I'm sorry, but that entire car makes me want to hurl. That thing is so ugly, even ricers would be ashamed of having a car like it.

Crazy Horse GT · 08-27-2002, 12:21 AM

the horror, oh the horror, the ugly wing,

The Deuce · 08-27-2002, 01:14 AM

I'm not sold on the fact that's a real Saleen. Shelby, can you lend some insight on those gauges? There is not a single marking that makes me believe its real. I may email the factory and have them follow up on it. Smells like fraud to me.

Skyman · 08-27-2002, 02:21 AM

GOD, Thats so tasteless.

I think the "Blow them haters off" on the supercharger says it all.

Skyler

Mach 1 · 08-27-2002, 05:06 AM

Nobody else finds the "plexi-glass" inserts in the hood to "show-off" the supercharger as extremely ugly and tacky?

That ruined the car for me the most, along with the wing and other things.

1969Mach1 · 08-27-2002, 08:21 AM

It's not that bad looking other then that fugly wing. I think I could live with the rest of the car. Paint is kinda cool I guess..... Atleast he doesn't have those Euro lights.

§am.

929PhoenixSquid · 08-27-2002, 09:06 AM

If I were buying that car, when I went to pick it up.....I'd tear off the wing and BEAT the previous owner to DEATH with it!!!!

Shelby428cj · 08-27-2002, 09:19 AM

Deuce it says it is car #107 in the description we could just look it up and see! Usually if they are gonna put a # with it , it is real. I was wrong about the color I thought it was just that copper color but I took a closer look and it has some butt ugly paint job with barb wire wrapped around the car. YUCK!

94cobra2 · 08-27-2002, 11:30 AM

I thoght that Saleen's came with a Saleen speedlab roots type charger. Were they avalible with the paxton? I would rather have a stock one than that. He screwed the value on that Saleen.

*Steeda90GT* · 08-27-2002, 11:36 AM

Those actually look like real Saleen gauges to me....it would be so sad if that was a real Saleen though. You know what the worse thing is? With that blower and all the other mods, It's probably a sick car(very low 12s easy). Isn't a damn shame when something that tacky is actually fast?

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 08-27-2002, 12:55 PM

Is it just me or does that Blower look somewhat Photoshopped?

Yeah, something doesnt seem right. To go off topic slightly, did you see the white fox vert in the background? It looks like it has some Uncle Ben's characteristics as well.

bri32zz · 08-27-2002, 02:34 PM

good god oh mighty that is one ugly car I must say. Looks like a fake one to me. Find out the vin and it is easy to find out for sure.

PonyPride · 08-27-2002, 04:13 PM

Did u see the back bumper? God i hope that doesnt really say "Gone in Sixty Seconds"

D-E-E-E-E-E-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G

1hot5.0 · 08-27-2002, 05:00 PM

WTF??? Someone bid 25 Grand on that car!!!! I can't believe it, I wouldn't be caught dead in that car! And that blower dosent look real come to think of it, it looks as if there is two "bound" together or something. Another thing, the tape has to go!

grrrr.

Vane · 08-27-2002, 08:06 PM

Wow that car is pretty god damn awful. I can't understand why anyone would do that to such a nice car. It looks damn well good enough as it is!

Look at the picture of the rear of the car. Notice any other Mustangs in trouble? Like the white convertible.

6T9PONY · 08-27-2002, 08:39 PM

Nobody has bid $25k on it yet. There's only been 1 bid, and the reserve (which hasn't been met to this time) is $25k.
