Hey Guys, I wandered over here from the SVT forum for some help. I am ready to buy a 88 Hatchback off an acquaintance. He is very knowledgeable and I feel comfortable dealing with him. Before handing over the cash, I want to check on a few things....
1. Who is the ULTIMATE authority on verifying an authentic Saleen? Can I just call them and give them the VIN?
2. Is there a "bible" that lists the Saleen specific parts AND shows their locations? I know most of the graphics are period correct, but the previous owner (before my acquaintance) used a few graphics from later year fox bodies.
3. Are there any reputable retailers that carry "restoration parts"? The vehicle is in solid shape, but if I ever needed to replace something I would hate to use standard LX parts or not be able to replace a graphic.
The vehicle is not a 100 point show car, but just needs a little rejuvenating. He also wants a hell of a lot less than that ebay rust bucket you guys slammed earlier.
Thanks for any help you can provide. Hopefully I can join the ranks of another limited Mustang society soon.
