Has the bumper covers, fender extensions, rocker panels, rear bumper, and wing. Has the graphics package with racecraft suspension sticker and the windshield banner.<br />Has the 4 lug stern wheels, stock drums and 5.0 brakes<br />Has a set of shorty headers, look like BBK, stock H-pipe, and what looks/sounds like 2 chamber flowmasters welded in the stock catback.<br />It's a 5 speed with stock shifter, clutch feels like it needs work (pedal flutters with slight pressure, probably TOB) but shifts smooth and doesn't slip, has gray interior, but the front and rear seats were recovered 3 years ago with black, they have the halo headrests and the drivers seat is a flo-fit recaro.<br />It does not have a saleen # badge, and the owner says the parts were all installed by saleen but it was bought as an LX from the dealer originally.<br /><br />Basically the problems are all cosmetic, but the engine will need to be replaced/rebuilt soon I fear because of the oil pressure fluctuations...<br /><br />I figure with a new paintjob and minor body work, it's worth $5k, but as is, what should I offer?<br /><br />Owner is 2nd owner, an older gentlemen that works where I do, he drives a new edge convertible now and the 'saleen' has just been parked rotting away.<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 18, 2008, 09:46 PM: Message edited by: Blind ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>1990GT50</b> <br /><small>Member # 2119</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,1,19,1,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> $1500 at most.
