This is a SMS 570X Challenger is sitting in Vallego, Ca. This car was stolen, wrecked and found stripped of all SMS options. They did leave the dash plaque.

Very sad indeed.

There was once a silver 570X press/show car.

Does anyone know if it had the Guidepoint tracking system on it?

I wonder if we could find out the production/SMS serial number? This one looks to be an automatic... the show car was a manual.

Very sad! It's odd to see the "Saleen" banner replace the "SMS" one.

I'm glad I have it installed as well. It's unfortunate

So true!

It's odd to see the "Saleen" banner replace the "SMS" one.

I will agree, though... it is a "real" SALEEN. :wink:

That Saleen graphic looks so good on the car, that person stole my idea.....I was planning on putting a Saleen banner on my SMS460X.....when I run into a bunch of money and buy one:smile:

I think I see a pun.

By that time, there's a good chance they'll be called a Saleen again anyway. :biggrin:

body kits were never available right? So whoever sports those stolen parts will be a bust, keep an eye out Cali peeps!

What a terrible way for a fine machine to end up as. No wonder why I have Lojack on my PJ.

I don't believe I've seen a stolen or repo'ed PJ to date.

Knock on wood Dave!

Last week I left mine in a mall parking lot for 20 minutes unattended. We survived! :smile:
