Congrats and welcome to the 1987 Saleen group! I had two, #065 and #0197, but I sold #0197 to my son. I just finished restoring my all original #065 with some Saleen option upgrades as well. :-)

Thanks,
I am working on detailing the car right now, the car is very clean, but not up to my specs yet. Should have it ready for the year one cup. |

Nice looking car but you could have called me to haul it since I have a business hauling cars. But you will have to take more pics of the car once you finish detailing it. Where did the car come from?

Hi there, I'm new to the forum and could use a little advice. I am looking @ 1988 Saleen that appears identical to the below car (87Saleen47's new white one) same stripe colors and all. It's been a long time since I was looking at these as a 16 year old @ the dealership so my memory is a bit foggy. Did the 88's come with the one color flofits or the grey with red piping flofits? The one I am looking at has the one color and somehow is does not look right to me. I'll do some more research on the combos but on pricing I'm looking to pay about $14K for a car in nice original condition with less than 50Kmi. Is this a realistic price range?

The above car is for sale presently and is all correct. The seats you mentioned in the 88 are not correct. They should be two different shades of gray with red piping on them. contact 87saleen47 about his car.

Here is the 88 interior shot in question. Looks like you are correct in that the 88 should have the red piping. Looks like the door panels and seats were replaced then right?

There's also a neat looking black and gold '88 hatch up in the north west. You can pick a nice original 1987-91 Saleen hatch in the $14,000 range. I'll have to pull a guide out, but I believe 1988-91 Ford Mustangs had the upper body factory pinstripe. When you see this color stripe missing on a Mustang of this era, tends to signal a repaint. Excluding the SSC and SC. If you would like, talk to forum member msper about "laser stripes" if you find a Saleen of the '88-'91 era without the Ford pin-stripe. 1987s are neat since Saleen production was still fairly low. It's also the first year for the complete make-over. 5-lug rotors, 4WDBs, performance seating (not supplied by Ford), and '87 was the Championship year. 1984-86 saleens are a spring, shock, wheel conversion with styling additions. With that said, I'm a fan of the pre-aero Saleens though. For $14,000. I would look for an original paint, interior car, with a clean and documented past. BTW: Do you have a Turbo McLaren? As an SVO owner, those '81s and Ford Turbos in general are pretty cool! If you need any help finding a Saleen, talk to Greg (member saleenlocator). Stuff crosses his path daily. Best wishes and welcome to the SOEC Forums! |

The front bumper has been repainted, still retains the factory vin sticker. Not sure what pinstripe he is refering to. I believe my car is has 100% correct stripes and markings. The seats have not been re-built either, not sure where he got that from?

Mark or Sergio never mentioned it. They have some wear. I am guessing that they were not re-built, but you never know??

This one, but as I stated... can't say the '87s from Ford had this. The stripe was pulled off the chevron cars of 1989-1991.

No, m81mclaren is talking about the laser etched line on the side of the car for them to apply the pin stripe... It makes it easy to tell if it was repainted because of that.

Hey Dave,
I did read the posts in full... I was just providing additional information regarding the laser etching for where the pinstripe is applied..... Is there a problem with that? I also actually received a PM regarding my post. I have also seen cars that DO NOT have the factory pinstripe that are NOT SSC's or SC's and still have the laser etching.

If you guys have questions about the car call Mark he will give you the run down on it. And Wayne is correct the pinstripe was an option you could order any mustang with or with out it.

Sorry guys. I did not mean for this to hijack the thread and should have just PM'd the owner first before posting. I'm clear on the pinstripe now thanks to Wayne and otehrs and am thankful for the information. BTW, 87Saleen47's car is a standout and I love it! -DH Last edited by m81mclaren; 11-18-2008 at 11:32 AM. Reason: added clarity |

One final note about both the upper paint stripes and the etched line in the exterior hue. Speaking with Greg away from the forum, he kinda' misspoke. His source states the accent stripes are/were standard on the LX, there was an unpublicized code to delete the stripe if you wished. So, if you walked into a Ford Dealer in 1989, placed an order for an LX, picked your options, and if you didn't make a statement or inquiry about deleting the stripe. Default was to built it with pinstripes. Etch mark: If there's only one etched line, down one side, or skips panels... it seems that's when you should ask "why?" So, we're all kinda' wrong and we all learned something new. Edit: One more correction. The stripes are/where paint not tape. Last edited by Dave; 11-18-2008 at 07:57 PM. Reason: Tape to Paint |

Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I posted on here. Hope everyone is doing well. As for the seats to 87 #47, I never had any work done to them nor have they been replaced. The reason I was thinking about replacing them is that I felt that they leaned too far back when in the fully upright position. After having owned an SSC, I found this to be a common characteristic of all FloFits. Personally, I prefer the Recaro seats. As for the pin stripe car has never had one. As for the overall condition of the car, I think it’s in great shape and worth all the money it is being sold for and more. I have owned the car from December 1999 until I sold it this year. During that time it was not on the road all that much, since I live in Anyway who ever ends up with the car will have a great car. From the pictures that I have seen, the present owner has done a great job in detailing it. I hope that this helps. All the best, Sergio |

Thanks Sergio, Trying to keep her. If the dam economy would pick up, I might be able to. My job is sooooo... dependent on the economy, it's not even funny.

Hey Steve,
No problem. I hope things work out for you, not just for the car but most importantly for you and your family. I also do hope that you get to keep the car. As I have said before, this was my first Saleen and I'm glad it went to a good home. Wish you all the best and hope things work for you. Keep me posted. Sergio |
