Looking for any info on a 1998 Saleen/Cobra convertible- “Bright Atlantic Blue in color. Only 2 made- Saleen # 89 and #161. I have #89, and was told #161 was wrecked? Any info you have would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Al, thanks for your question. I have asked Mark LaMaskin, of Performance Autosport in Richmond, Virginia, to chime in on this one. He should have a response for you shortly. Brad
Brad,
I, like Al, have been searching for info on #161 for years now. I’ve sent my inquiry to performance autosport, although I have never heard anything back. Did either of you have any luck locating this car? Thanks.

I have 98-0161. It’s near mint – was garaged for years. Was my dad’s, nowi it’s mine.
i have a 95 saleen mustang but dont know if its real, the spoiler is huge, my rear bumper says mustang gt, and doesnt have the double lines on the doors.
Hello Brad, We recently purchased a 1988 Saleen at the Food Lion Car Show. We are trying to find out how to get in touch with the registry and update the information and ownership. Also where can I buy your book…The Saleen Book….
thank you, John & Becky Fairport NY
Not real Jesse, Wouls say Saleen on the bumper not Mustang Gt
’96 Saleen White convertible 65K #345 For sale asking 13K obo. Also on Craigslist.
How many 1998 S281 Coupes were built in BAB? I know a guy from NY who bought one new in 1998 but it was impounded and seized by NYPD after a drag racing thing. Don’t remember the number of his car I thinki it was like 81 or something not sure been a long time.
How do i find out if my saleen is real.
Does the book include information on the 1996-1998 Budget Rental cars that Saleen produced? Looking at possible purchase of one of them.
It does have info, production figures and specs for the Budget cars. Unfortunately, I haven’t had any copies of the book for several years, or I would be glad to sell you one. Mark LaMaskin shows copies for sale at Performance Autosport: http://www.performanceautosport.com.
