Seeking information: 89-0109 - 1 of 1 notch

[Ghostof#89-109]

Hello. My name is Dave from Charlotte NC and I am new to the boards here. I just bought what was thought for years to be #89-0109. I bought the car from a good customer/friend of mine that had owned the car since 2000. Previous to that he had known about this car since the mid/early nineties as it had belong to a friend of his who was a driving instructor. Once I was approached about buying the car I had my friend send over several pics and everything looked legit. Cowl tag/Saleen ID was in place as well as the plaque on the shifter plate along with the correct guages. All the stickers appear to be correct down to the wreath in the rear window. After a quick search if found out that notch Saleens were extremely rare. I decided to make sure so I called Saleen and spoke with Tony. My heart sank after I rattled off the vin# of the car as Tony told me that no records exsisted for this car. I must have asked him a dozen times if there could be a mistake but he assured me that he was correct. I guess the only good news was that the #109 car was indeed a notch and better yet it was a one of one car for 1989 being a black car with biege interior. This explained something that seemed very odd to me which was the fact that the car I was checking on is white w/blue stripes with beige interior. That seemed like a very odd combination to me. I also noticed that Saleen cowl tag was attached with screws and convenietly the vin# part had been cut off at the bottom of the tag. All this being said I know that my friend is honest as the day is long and when I told him about this I could tell he was close to tears. We came to the conclusion that the 109 car had met an untimely demise sometime in the early ninties and that all the left over parts were transferred into this car including the complete interior. This is evident because the interior code for the white car is red. Being that my friend was giving me an awesome deal to begin with and the fact that this car is super bad *** having over 25k worth of mods (331 w/TFS high ports,TKO 600, Full Griggs GR40 suspension, 13 in brakes just for starters) and the fact it at least had lineage/history to the real deal I decided to go ahead and buy the car. Now to the point of this post is that I would love to see if anyone knows anything about the original #89-0109 Saleen notch. From all I can gather it made its way to the eastern part of North Carolina as the car I bought was delivered and lived its entire life there until I bought it. Again the original car was black with gold stripes and beige interior. Thanks in advance for any information!
