Help: VIN check for a 2000 Saleen Mustang?
hey all, found this poor car at an auction and wanted to verify if it's authentic. here's the vin:
1FAFP42XXYF146492. Green over tan, has firewall ID (looked fake) and no console ID (console torn up). Had Saleen (red) pulleys and gauges. Bumper #007. Here's to hoping it's not real because it's in real sad shape! |

2000, but it has the 99 anniversary badges on the side. I can take pics if needed, but I'm tellin' ya, if it is real, it's gonna make you cry!

The registry does not list an #07 Mustang for 2000. Looks like Saleen Performance skipped the number that year.

Lord I hope so, this thing is a mess!

Did they even make a car in that forest green color?

also im pretty sure the bumper number would just be 07 instead of 007, maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.???

Looks like he jacked it up because its a repo, wonder what happened? Funny how people think the bank should suffer because they cant make payments

It's a shame that if it's not authentic, that was a lot of wasted money. I don't think there are many (if any) parts you could salvage off of it. Maybe the pedals, gauge faces and pulleys, but that's about it.

Yes.
You are correct. The single exception is the 2008 Dan Gurney Edition. These are the only Saleen Mustangs to feature bumper numbers with two leading zeros. 001, 002, 003... 012... etc etc etc. |

Looks like it may have been a real good fake. It looks like it might of had a dash plaque removed as well.

I have the same shift knob in my 03, and its not a fake. What kind of shift knob is it supposed to have?
|
#18
|
|||
|
|||
The momo knob that saleen put in them.
|
#19
|
|||
|
|||
Anybody got a pic of one?
|
#20
|
||||
|

Saleen Performance / Saleen Inc used a few different Momo knobs during the New Edge era.
|
#21
|
|||
|
|||
Carbon:
and all leather: |
#22
|
|||
|

Thanks for the pics dude! Do you know if the all leather momo knob has the 5 speed pattern on top of it? Im not 100% sure I dont have that one.
|
#23
|
|||
|
|||
The gold chevrons (sp?) and gold window banner look tight on that Saleen!
|
#24
|
||||
|
||||
No shift pattern on the leather Momo.
|
#25
|
|||
|
|||
OK then I guess I do have the stocker. Does anyone have a good place to get one of the MOMO's?

Thanks for the info Dave!
|
#28
|

|

It would most def have 07
|
#29
|
|||
|
|||
So to piggyback, would the 01 N/A have the [carbon or momo] shifter as well? I want to be period specific and I have the Stock GT knob on there now... Thanks!
|

Saleen used both the leather and the carbon. If someone ordered the uncommon carbon interior package in 1999-2000, the vehicle should have shipped with a carbon knob. The rest have either or and both would be correct.

yeah let me try and figure it out. only 3 pics i have are from the ones he showed me on facebook. i think speedmob on here is him maybe if he is still fallowing this post he might have some.
The car still has the firewall badge matching vin to vehicle with the number 007, has the tire information sticker with saleen logo on it on the drivers door framing, the car now has a cobra bumper hood with no scoop, cobra doors glass has all been replaced and a cobra interior on gt wheels. trying to figure out how to post the pictures on here |

Poorly treated clone.

Sorry to revive an old thread. However I just purchased this car today. Guy in Watertown Wi had picked it up as a project in the past and lost interest. Transmission has been rebuilt, and car had been painted white (poorly). He had plans to turn it into a drag car but it still has the 03-04 cobra bumper, saleen scoops, saleen pedals, saleen pulleys, tags, etc. Even came with the original tan interior parts that the car came with along with some 03-04 cobra interior parts. Was it ever determined if the car was an authentic Saleen or no? I can provide more info on the car when I get into tearing into it tomorrow.

As the evidence stands, it's still a clone... Saleen sold a lot of aftermarket parts to guys who customized their Mustangs to suit their tastes.
