We have been kicking around the idea of a Saleen specific event for this upcoming summer in the New England area. It will probably be something along the idea of a family style picnic with activities for all especially the children. I agree there is real lack of Saleen events in this neck of the woods! There seems to be pretty good interest so far with holding an event in our area. I will be at the MCA National show in Sturbridge, MA next July with my car. Hope to see some other Saleen fox body cars present. Watch this forum for additional details on a possible Saleen event this summer!!!

Both Dave and I have talked about this picnic sort of thing in the past. If we get enough interest,I think it will be easy to do this spring or summer. It is amazing in the last couple of months the amount of fox bodied saleen owners that have been posting from New England. There are definitely more cars around that I thought.
We should be able to put something together. Jay

mustang unlimited
there were two fox saleens at the biggest show in ct. what worries me is that these cars will not rise in value if they are not seen and remembered. but if i and other owners don't show our cars because we don't want to put miles on them then they will get lost in the mist. thats why we need to have 10-15 fox saleens at these mustang only shows not two. I have two ssc's and a 91 sc and i have never seen any of those cars at a local show. besides mine but i know there are a lot in new england

I'll be at the show, and even though the car still needs work, I enjoy the reactions that people have to the car. Would love to have a Saleen get together.

Hello All,
Its nice to see the response this thread has created even though it got a little off track! I am working with several other folks trying to put something together this summer for all New England area or any Saleen owners to have a day of fun together. We may be able to have a few suprises for all to enjoy. The day will feature these wonderful cars we are all lucky enough to own and enjoy. Of course this would be open to all owners who freqent this site or word of mouth. Keep watching for upcoming news in a seperate thread as information gets passed out. Thanks for all the early interest!!! Any thoughts let me know. Dave, |

mustangs unlimited
dave nice to hear from you i hate to sound like a broken record here but having a saleen only show will only advertise your car to people who already own them having the saleen show at the bigger mustang show will advertise your car to mustang lovers. Let me give you an example when i had my 91 sc saleen out last weekend a couple of kids walked up and said wow that is cool what is that and i took the time to explain what a 91 sc saleen is. another example i passed a 90 gt with my 89 ssc on the highway the kids followed me to ask about the car they had never seen a real ssc 89. bottom line if we don't show these cars outside of the saleen community your investment will never be worth anything to anybody but those in the saleen community. ask mark lamaskin from performance autosport about this

Not a show, but a get together. When I go to the shows, I go with 5-10 people who I've met, and we usually plan in the spring which shows we are going to, and for the bigger shows, we arrange hotels, cruises up, etc. Doing that is more of what i had in mind, so that we can get a bigger turn out.

No problem, lets try to pick a date after the holidays, maybe a sunday afternoon? This time of the year it gets hard to find spare time, at least for me. We can also post this on some other boards, try to find the saleen owners not on this one.

I would much rather have a private get together as dgregoire is suggesting. I personally dont enjoy hanging out in hot parking lots with no shade on a 80 degree day. Daves idea is a good one. He and I put on a great shelby picnic at my house over the summer. We had 50 cars or so. Everbody brought their family. We had the pool full of kids, a moonbounce etc. The grill was pumping out food all day, and everyone had a great time.
The purpose of the get togeter is not to increase the value of everyones car, it is simply a way for everybody to get together with each other and have a good time. I don't care what the value of my car is, I have owned it since day one and I don't plan on selling it. Lets just get together and have fun. Jay

I think anyone interested would be fine. If I was a guy who didn't own one now, or maybe looking for one, this would be a great time to meet people who know about the cars. And if I could pick a car that wasn't a Saleen, a 93 Cobra is on the list.
Sounds like a plan, should be a great time.

did you get a jacket when you bought your car new? also i test drove a new saleen in 90 from a dealer in upper ct which dealer did you buy from??
|
#22

|

Yes, I did recieve the jacket. My car was delivered to Danielson Ford and I had it swapped to Putnam Ford Mercury. My car was the first Saleen that Danielson Ford had, however they were difficult to deal with and I refused to buy it from them. They didn't want to transfer it to another dealer, but after a call or two to Saleen it was transferred without a problem.

tesrt drive
when i was 18 i test drove a blue 89 and i think it was one of those two dealerships because the only other dealership that had saleens was miller

If I were to guess I bet you test drove a car at Enfield Ford. They had a couple of left over 89's well into 1990. If I remember correctly I think it was 1989-69 that sat there the longest. It was a red hatchback.

If you guys get something going in the new england area, count me in.

I don't think these cars will fade from memory anytime soon. The ones that I've seen on eBay and the likes seem to get lots of attention and don't last long.
