I am selling my Saleen that I have owned for almost 14 years now. It is car #85 of 113 S281 coupes produced in 1997. The reason I am selling is I just do not have time to give the attention the car needs. The car has 134,XXX miles and has never been in an accident. Have only used Mobil1 Synthetic oil and 93 octane fuel. In the past 3 years, when I have done most of the modifications, I have driven the vehicle maybe 2,500 miles. Here is a list of the modifications I have done.
- PI heads and intake manifold
- LT headers
- Flowmaster exhaust and custom piping
- One off custom hood
- SR Saleen wing
- Boyd Coddington 18x9/18x10 wheels
- Short throw shifter
- Smoked headlights
- Stage 3 cams
- Built Stage 3 T45 transmission
- King Cobra clutch
- 4.10 Ford Racing gears
- Eibach springs
- Custom blue paint job
I'm sure I missed a few more that I can't remember at the moment. Also have the factory hood and S281 wing if buyer wants.
Now for the list of issues the car has, given that it is 16 years old.
- Front bumper could be replaced, has some minor damage. It is urethane so no cracks, just flexed.
- Back bumper minor damage underneath vehicle. Not visible without looking underneath car.
- Cluster lights do not come on.
- Speedo gauge does not work properly.
- Heater does not work. Heater core needs to be replaced.
- Rear window needs to be re-tinted.
- Key mark on left, hood, and right side of car.
- Small dent on driver's door.
- Carpet in trunk could be redone.
- Could use a tune. Car runs fine, the idle sometimes is a bit low.
- Siren for alarm does not work. Alarm itself does work.
- Radio wiring needs to be checked as sound does not come out of speakers.
I'm doing my best to be upfront and honest about the condition of the vehicle. These, in my opinion, are mostly minor issues that I just don't have the time to work on. I have not had a chance to give the motor a good cleaning. Car has very good mods and is very fast but just sits in the garage. I have never dyno'd or taken it to the track, ever. NADA has the low value listed at $7,825. If you search for it you'll need to go to the classic section to find Saleen. I hope to find a good buyer that will have the time to fix these issues. If there are any questions or requests please feel free to ask. I can be contacted at 832-818-0792. Happy bidding!

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
