my 88 saleen


well its actually an 88 saleen clone but its as close to the real deal as it gets! i started with a 1988
4 cylinder automatic & did the entire 5.0 swap on it w/ 5 speed conversion & 8.8 w/ 5 lug 4 wheel disc brakes. i then did a full Saleen conversion on it using all original 1988 Saleen mustang parts including body kit, wing, front bumper filler, full Saleen FloFit interior, Saleen/SVO brakes & Saleen/Racecraft suspension & Saleen wheels. icould go on forever with the details of this 10 year project but i am sure you get the point. i have put in 3 engines, 2 trannys, 3 rear ends, 2 hatches, 2 full interior swaps, 7 different steering wheels, 6 different sets of rims, 3 different brake setups & 4 different wings! yep, she has seen some parts swapping over the years!

thanx guys! there is more work in this car than most could even imagine! before i made the car a 1988 Saleen mustang clone it was a full on 1990 Saleen SC clone. i removed all the 1990 Saleen SC parts, wing, wheels, decals etc... because the car was originally an 1988 chasis so i changed my mind (LOL) and after the car only living about 3 years as the 1990 Saleen SC clone I stripped it down & bought all original used 1988 Saleen parts & spent alot of online time tracking down parts & alot of $$$ buying them! here what i looked like about 3 years ago as the 1990 Saleen SC.

yeah the wing can have that effect on some people but i have always loved the look of it. plus since i built such an exact 1988 Saleen clone it kind of has to be there.
