      How is the restoration coming along on 85-0085? Looking as possibly buying a "blue" Saleen has piqued my interested in learing more about the 3J, 3V, 3L , and 7B Saleens. Any chance of seeing the door tag and buck tag from this one? I have complete info on one 3L and very limited info on a few others.

      Foxchassis, I have got #85 all apart and have identified a painter to help in getting it back together. I have acquired another Saleen that I have been enjoying and have decided to take my time with #85 since it will probably be a trailer queen when finished. I will definitely get you pics of the tags.
