    I too love the 85 front end over the 86. Not that the 86 is ugly .

    I've got 85-0001 and 85-0090.

    Never seen another 4 eyed Saleen in person around here. With around 300 total made in 85-86, the odds of seeing one is pretty slim. Better odds seeing a 69-70 Boss 429, or any year 65-70 Shelby Mustang. May be similar odds seeing a real AC Cobra.

    That is my car. 85-132 is now in PA. White with tan interior. Car is on the road but needs a new roof skin and a full resto eventually.
    Also 85-128 is now in PA. The gentleman drives it on the weekends and has had some very recent paint work on the front end.

    after a month they finally got delivered today. The red 86 is all original, the black 85 needs some TLC but is a nice solid car.

    I've got the gauge cluster out of 1986-045. It's still around but is a full on gutted race car that will never be restored according to the owner.

    I've bought Saleen parts from the previous owners of 1986-026 also. That car is around and restored with mods such as different wheels and tires.

    I noticed that the 1985 production list does not show any 1E silver metallic Saleen Mustangs being built. Still researching production numbers for 1986. I know there were grey cars made. Cars like 1985-007 (the first production 85) are a great example.

    Were there any silver four eyed Saleens built?

    I'm all for helping the helpless, but I don't give a rat's ass about the clueless anymore.

    Previous: 79 Cobra, 82 GT, 83 GT, 85 Twister, 85.5 SVO, 86 GT, 87 GT, 91 Saleen, etc....

    Curious, was grey exterior color specific to Saleens? Looking at the 85 Mustang sales brochure, Grey isnt listed as an option. There is Med. Charcoal Metallic, Silver Metallic, and Dark Slate Metallic listed for LX package.

    There were no Saleen specific colors. Each color was plucked from the standard catalog. They did encourage the purchase of preferred colors, though, hence the high number of red, white and black cars.
