    Default Pic request - Saleen Burbank ??

    My LOA says 86-64 was built in the Saleen Burbank facility - does anybody have any old pictures of this facility?


    All I have found on the web so far are pictures from the Irvine Facility

    I looked through my Saleen books (I have both "The History and Development of the Saleen Mustang" by Rediker and "The Saleen Book" by Bowling) and I came up with nothing. I couldn't find anything through the interweb either? There has to be some pics of this place...wtf?
    Cheers!

    If you guys find the address I'll drive up there in #09 and take a few pictures for you guys.
    I'm only about 15 Miles away from Burbank.

    *I found the address on the Saleen Order form.
    See link.

    Look at all the prices for the Saleen items.
    Can't believe floor mats were only $64.95
    Wolf Steering wheel w/adapter was $98.99
    Saleen Shift knob was $12.00 &
    New Hayashi wheels were $149/each

    Check out the Google street view for that address. Looks like a non-descript building now.

    My laptop won't let me see the street view due to my software being out of date but a quick google search shows that ACSCO Products is in the building.

    Think about $65 dollar floor mats back in 1984-86. That's pretty expensive...which is probably why so few were sold.

    I will drive up there as soon as I get my tags from the DMV(pending a smog check) and I'll take a few pictures.
    If I find 20 sets of Saleen floor mats, I will sell you 10 sets

    Isn't that where Burch Ford was?

    If so, the Saleen facility was a dealership.

    According to The Saleen Book...

    The Burbank address was just office space for Saleen in 1985 (after they moved to Burch Ford for production) and 1986. ACSCO provided space for Saleens's office and parts inventory, and manufactured the console plaques, engine bay plaques, and dash and hatch emblems for Saleen. Saleen moved their office/parts inventory to La Habra after the 1986 model year.

    These were the only "factories" for the 1984-86 cars:

    Racecraft (Petaluma) -- all three from 1984
    Brodie's Tire & Brake (Petluma) -- 16 from 1985
    Burch Ford (La Habra) -- the rest from 1985 and all from 1986
