Q: Canadian car info?
Trying find out track down any info on a 1 owner 2006 Mustang GT convertible/ probably Saleen clone? Out of Canada. Believe car was sold new in Ottawa Canada. Car has solid car fax & auto check with 7000 miles. I called Saleen in CA. and it’s not in registry buy last 8 of vin.Also gave them bumper number, only info they would tell me was it didn’t come back with my last 8 of Vin.I went over the list I printed out for everything a 2006 Saleen should have, including options. This car is only missing about 4 off whole list what’s suppose to be on a 2006 Saleen. I even have the painted fiberglass roadster panels & sports bar. Hard to believe someone would buy a new car then and make it a clone when the money in it could have bought a real registered one.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
With the 2009 fire sale of Saleen parts, building an okay clone was not impossible, even down to owner manuals. |

The Canadian Saleen vehicles had their own production quirks.
You will find 2004 S281s were 2003 seating. 2006 S281s with 2005 seating. In the states the S197 Saleen Mustangs were built from IUP equipped cars. In Canada some cars have the plastic dash and rubber steering wheels of base cars. In Canada they used their Saleen conversion parts inventory until it was depleted, in the US if Saleen changed a part design it then went into use next model year... not so in Canada. |

That car is not real. As Dave mentioned above, the seats are not authentic, not even close. I noticed it does not have a under hood firewall Saleen VIN tag. It also does not have the Saleen cluster. As for the vents, I've yet to see a Canadian car have black vents. Everyone, including my own 2006 08c has silver vents.
Saleen Canada was owned by Bugatti Canada. They still have build records for the Saleens they built. |
