Hey guys I'm newish to this forum, a few years ago I was under a different name here but I've since lost the password/user ID and the email associated to it. I've had quite a few SN95 cars over the past few years, 94 GT, 97 GT, 98 GT, 98 Cobra, another 98 cobra, and now my 1996 Saleen.
In between those I've also had an 04 Mach 1 and I just sold off my 10th anniversary 03 cobra... Maybe I should have kept that car but I wanted to give this 96 Saleen my time.

Here are a few images, I'll start a "build thread" later on. The long and the short is I bought it with a blown motor and I want to keep it semi stock/true to saleen so I found a 00 Saleen motor with an SC2 blower and a set of cams. It has the "98 Saleen recaros, Heat Extractor hood, Speedster cover, and the s351 wing. Yes it's been repainted, it was originally Rio Red and now is Sonic blue.

Sorry for weird pictures thumbnails and real images(photo bucket said it cost money now so I was trying to find another good option)

Pretty sure the 96 Saleens were all s281 which makes me ask if it’s a true Saleen or a clone?!?

The photos say s281 on the logo so I'd assume it was a typo. Regardless, looks like a sweet ride with good build plans. Keep us posted on your progress!

236 is the build number.

It's a true saleen. originally a non SC 281. I just put in a cammed/Saleen supercharged 2v, it won't make the most power in the world but that wasn't my intention with this car.
