    Default Just picked up 86 Saleen#80

    I have wanted a four eye Saleen for about five years now. I sold my ASC early this summer because I saw a few 1986s available in my price range. I almost had deals ona few different ones but ended up with this one. I did not want black or red. White would have been good but couldnt reach the right deal. I got this gray one which you hardly ever see gray ones. I love this car. It runs great. It rides great. No rattles. Everything works. It needs a few things to make it even nicer but I like that about the car.
    This is the pic that Ive been looking at for a couple monthes before we made the deal.



    Here is the first view I got of her up close.


    First night I got it, I went to visit Mark and Jackie (owners of the gorgeous Coyote powered TTop coupe.) I live three miles away. Here are a couple quick pics in front of their house. Unfortunately it was too late for a pic of the cars together.





    Here is a pic with my friend Rons car. We went to a cool show yesterday.

    OK, you are forgiven for selling the ASC. Beautiful Saleen. I still loved your Capri, though!

    Nice car. Gray is one of the rarer colors for 86 as there were only 26 made. Do you know if it came with the Kenwood option?

    Thanks guys for the kind words. I really like driving this car. I already have repacked the front wheel bearings. Adjusted the trunk latch and polished three of the wheels. Last one tonight. I'll keep posting pics on this thread.
