hmmm. Well I guess we shall see if it shows back up. It was pretty well done. EFI late model under the hood, black aero interior including dash (and airbag wheel) and rear hatch plastic and the outside looked pretty much exactly like what a 1982 Saleen "would" have looked like I have to say.
It had ALL correct body side moldings that match the '82 bumpers too. Didn't look like a hack job to me based on pictures. You know the ones that have black spray bomb under the hood trying to cover up the factory red etc. It looked okay to me. His price was a dream and there is no way it had 375HP but that has nothing to do with the car looking nice.
After further review, I now read where he says "I will include a picture of the car that I built this car similar to" so maybe the pictures are not of the car he is selling, but rather the one he liked online.

I tried to find if it was relisted and I found this one. He says it has the best interior of any 1982 Mustang out there but you have to take his word for it. There are no pictures of it. It also appears he was waiting for the sun to go all the way down before taking the few he did.

Hi, I personally was involved with and built this car. It does have 375 flywheel horsepower with the compression aluminum heads, intake and exhaust it makes in the low threes to the wheels. I made 315 to the wheels with a ported GT 40 cast iron headed motor with less compression so this motor definitely makes more than that that's why when I said 375 I'm meaning it at the flywheel. The car runs super strong and drives awesome. I built this car not to sell it I built it to keep it. It took many months to do this car and quite frankly as cool as it is, I would not do it again. The reason why my ad is off craigslist is because people keep flagging it.

I bet if you remove "Saleen" from the title it would fly. Some people get wound up about that. Good luck, and post some pics here on our site (it's required)

No offence but you could have a real Saleen in great shape for your asking price. This is the problem with clone and tribute cars. People that want an 82 Mustang want it Factory and people that want a Saleen want the real deal. Unfortunately you never get out of them what you put into them. That is why when you dump money into one of these cars it either has to be an extremely rare and desirable model or a car you are planning on keeping.

None taken it's all a matter of perspective at the end of the day this is your opinion. I respect everybody's opinion that doesn't make it the truth. It doesn't mean that there's somebody out there that's not interested in a nice car like this.
