They ever do a flat out test with the SC version?

I could be mistaken, but I believe MM&FF had an SN-95 S351 R-code test. It was a white with white wheels coupe. Maybe in 1997. I could be wrong.

I have the issue with Chris Hoff's "Grape Ape" '97 S-351 on the cover. Later the car was owned by Joe from Chicane Racing. I can scan and post, if you like.

Sure, that would be great! Wasn't there a showdown article, somewhere, that had the S351 with like a Viper, a Monster Miata, and a Vortech Mustang?

Yup. A yellow Saleen in that one, I believe. Pretty sure I have that article, too.

I get these cars confused as well. Jarred, our trusty friend in Texas (with the 911) knows the current owner of S351 95-0001 (the magazine test car with updated taillights).

Then we have 95-0001SR, a '96 Mustang chassis serialized as a 1995 SR model.

Both apparently were owned by the same Saleen employee and both were white with white wheels.

wow this is really confusing with these cars lol.

ok so they are both numbered 95-01. 95-01 s351 and 95-01sr
both originally owned by the same saleen employee.
both are white with black interior.
both have white mag wheels.
both have white painted intakes, valve covers with saleen logo, mirrors and 96 style taillights.
the s351 has the regular saleen recaros (like in the magazine test) and the sr has different recaros.

i see they have different vins from each other and are separate cars.
the 95 numbered sr was built in feb 96 but is for sure a 96 chassis?

so it was seths car, seems he gave/sold/traded it back to saleen a few months later, got another and did it up pretty much identical, numbered the same but as an sr with a few special extras. numbered as a 95,built in 96.
i wonder why they didnt just number it as a 96? guess thats why i asked if its for sure on a 96 chassis.

the only thing im seeing kinda different is the car in the magazine shows the underside of the hood as bare carbon fiber and the s351 in those pics you posted has a painted underside. im guessing its been painted at some point.

i dont want to step on anyones toes, i was just confused with these two cars.
these **** press cars/employee cars can be hard to keep track of which is what LOL. especially when they are near identical with the same bumper number, a lot of the same tweaks and originally owned by the same guy within a couple months of each other
just want to make sure i have everything correct.

My mistake. The chassis of 95-0001SR appears to be a 1995.

Yes. You are correct. Both white, white mag wheels, black interiors, same white interior panels painted white, white mirrors, SVT headlights, white intake and valve covers etc etc.

Keep in mind the 95-0001SR is not built to spec. Back seat, less expensive front seats, no 4-point chassis brace and slightly different exterior decal details.

I believe Greg knows some of the history of the two cars and the former Saleen employee.

Well, it depends on model availability and market. The 1994 and 1995 street SR cars are only publicly offered for sale every so often. $65,000.00 is probably near retail for the spec SR offered through dealers in 1995.

95-0011SR and 95-0012SR were apparently updated to wide body configuration. 95-0024SR was split into two pieces. 95-0014SR was driven and has opal/dove/grey Ford interior plastic trim. 95-0013SR is the yellow stereo car that is polished/chromed out. Then 95-0016SR was possibly the one modified for hand controls.

The preowned/collector 1995 SR pickings are interesting.

I think my pick would be 95-0016SR. This was a white, white wheels, black graphic car. Had the spec body color front seat shells and bi-plane wing.

Came across this thread by chance looking up some S351 info. Dave how or where did you hear about 95-0011SR and 95-0012SR possibly being converted to widebody? Would that make them street legal widebody SRs?

Thanks for the info Dave, Wonder if they've ever posted pics before. That would be the ultimate street mustang as far as I'm concerned. A widebody street legal S351 SR
