| | | Holy Hell... the OTHER Tangerine coupe is up for sale
in Texas... 1996 Saleen S281 Mustang
I've emailed the guy asking for some photos, just for my own interest...
If the exchange rate wasn't so bad i'd be on a plane to texas right now typing this from 30,000 feet !!!!!!
It would be most awesome to own BOTH tangering coupes!!!!
I suppose I could look in to import again...... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Typing this post has done me NO favours.......
where's that calculator..... |

This one's been on the market since late August early September. I had photos, but now I can't find them. |

Do you know how many orange coupes were produced in '96? I believe I can think of three.
1. UK: silver chevrons
2. TX: black chevrons
3. GA(?): black chevrons
It's a neat color!

The third one is in Oregon still. I work with the original owner. He sold it a couple years ago to a couple. I see it at cruises every once in a while. It is an automatic car, number 223. |

a lovely lady has just emailed me regarding this car for sale. Its bumper number is 96-103.... She's had an offer on the car from up north but she's not inclined to take it at the moment as she considers it too low. She is the second owner, Brad's book sites the first owner as Brian Carlson from Minnesota.
What is the general concensus of opinion on the market value of this car??? |

the yellow mustang registry USED to have a tangerine registry too, but it looks like theyve shut it all down  |

He worked for a big animation studio and they relocated him to CA, but after all the modifications on this car he was worried about smog tests etc. Plus i think he figured he could buy something newer/faster when he got there without having to worry about all the import paperwork !!! | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
