These were entry level cars aimed at buyers who couldn't afford the full Saleen Mustang price tag (the same thinking went behind the building of the GT Sport cars and V6 Sport cars that were offered by Saleen). Since these cars were not serialized, Saleen may not have them recorded. The cars were lightly modified with most of the Saleen Racecraft suspension (springs, shocks, struts, quads, sway bar bushings, etc.). The brakes are stock. The body is stock GT. The interior is stock. The motor is stock. As far as what they are worth, I would probably contact Mark LaMaskin at Performance Autosport (performanceautosport.com). <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>89saleen</b> <br /><small>Member # 3083</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(2005,0,4,20,15,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> The California Edition also got a Sony CD deck.
