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.
