XP HOOD REPAIR FOR PROJECT “BIG WHITE”

PHOTOS & TEXT: MUSCLEJUNKIE

So, I purchased the Saleen XP8 Carbon Fiber Hood off I believe 1998-023. The XP8 had allot of rust so the hood catch has allot of rust and there is cracking in the (Fiberglass?? or Carbon Fiber) around the rivets that hold that piece in as well as the hood hinge mounting points.

BIG WHITE (my 2000 Limited) is currently at the shop for paint & installation of the hood and Saleen Wing and some things came up that I am hoping that someone here might be able to offer some input.

87-0192 Saleen Mustang

I am the first owner of 1987 Saleen Mustang #192, a white convertible with blue stripes and white Ford leather interior. 87-0192 was delivered and purchased through Jim Click Ford in Tucson, Arizona. I owned #192 for 5 years, from new… until I sold her in 1991 with about 10k miles on the odometer. This sale was forced due to bad financial times with my parents. I would be interested in buying #192 or at least know that she’s in good hands for the moment. Message me with any leads on the whereabouts or ownership history.

SEARCHING FOR 90-0019SC

90-0019 Saleen SC
Last picture of 90-0019SC, the day before it was stolen.

Does anyone have any info as to where 1990 Saleen SC Hatchback #19 wound up? I bought the car from Jim Stafford at John Bleakley Ford in Lithia Springs, Ga. I only had it for a short time and it was stolen from my driveway in Riverdale, Ga. The thieves joy rode the car and burned it. The shell as well as the motor & drivetrain was last seen at the impound yard in Fairburn, Ga in 1992. I saw a post on here from someone claiming to have 90-0019 in red. 90-0019 was not a red car, it was black with silver decals and grey interior. It was also an SC, one of 13 SC’s built out of 256 total cars that year.

SEARCHING FOR S281 96-0356

From our friends at Saleen Club of America.

96-0356 S281 Speedster
96-0356 S281 Speedster

Once upon a time, I owned 96-0356, a Rio Red Saleen Mustang S281 Speedster. According to Carfax, the car has changed hands a few times since I sold it, and was last seen in Northern California … maybe 2 hours north of where I live now.

I sold it to a dealer named Kassabian Motors, now known as My Hot Cars (myhotcars.com), who in turn sold it to owner #2. As you’ll see on the report, owner #4 registered it in Rohnert Park in 2011. I currently live in Lafayette, CA, so Rohnert Park isn’t too far, but just far enough that I can’t really pop up there and wait for it to emerge every weekend.

It doesn’t list as totaled or salvaged, yet with no additional maintenance entries, I assume it’s either serviced by the owner, or is registered as Planned Non Operational.

The VIN of my car is 1FALP45X6TF217386. I have checked with local Mustang clubs in Sonoma County, and haven’t gotten any responses from them. It doesn’t appear to have been serviced in the last few years, or at least not at any shop that would register such service in a way that it would appear on Carfax.

I sold 96-0356 prior to getting married in 1998. My divorce will be final soon, and I’d like to pick up where I left off with my car.

Thanks!

The Saleen | Follmer Edition was designed and engineered to retain the authentic lineage of the original 1969 factory backed racer. Setting off the authentic styling cues is the complete Saleen paint scheme that is in the same identity as the original. For this we use our Saleen Colorlab to carefully perform a custom paint on each Saleen GF we manufacture. Everything from the White painted roof and Black painted hood and upper body, right down to the contrast pinstriping is all performed as part of our manufacturing process on this vehicle. Additional styling abounds on the interior with the exclusive GF Edition interior treatment that is reminiscent of yesteryear’s model with modern conveniences.
