We won't know exact numbers until Saleen publishes them. Shouldn't be long though since 2007's are starting to appear for sale.
Team Saleen released the 2005 numbers around the New Year last winter. The production letters to the original purchasers were mailed around the same time. From my understanding, there are still a few non-converted ‘06 Mustangs left even though the ‘07s S281s are now out. When Ford was running the no interest for 72 months, a few folks ordered cars from non-converted stock on hand. We'll have the numbers before the letters go out: Mustang Production
Me too, just got a '05' S281 S/C YELLOW #1294 with only 3,800 miles on it. Id realy like to know what the production #'s are. "DAVIDJ" is right about the '06' models beeing avalibe still, I looked into ordering one 2 weeks ago but they wouldn't move on the price. So I saved the $ and got an "05" The '07' are out I saw a grabber orange one- I think on E-Bay.
Contact Team Saleen: Team Saleen Link Ask for you vehicle's production information. Have your complete FORD VIN and Saleen vehicle number handy. There's a fella' who posted the color breakdowns on the SOEC forum months ago, but I can't find it or I don't know what happened to it. I also believe it was posted before the numbers were altered for '05. The last numbers we received for 2005 S/C production were: S281 S/C Coupe 232 S281 S/C Convertible 79 Team Saleen is you best bet and you will be included in the registry and receive a production / authenticity letter that you can save. Here is a link to our spec sheets to learn more about the 2005-2006 vehicles: Spec Sheets Link Enjoy!
There's some dispute over the official number of 2005 281SC COUPES - 230, 231, or 232. Here's a list I was given (it totals 231): Black - 65 Satin Silver - 47 Mineral Grey - 22 Sonic Blue - 18 Redfire - 17 Torch Red - 17 Screaming Yellow - 16 Performance White - 12 Legend Lime - 7 Windveil Blue - 5 Lizstick Red - 2 Trilogy Silver - 2 Beryllium - 1
I guess all you have to do is ask. Thanks so much. I own 1 of only 16 yellow s/c coups I think thats cool.
Man I saw A picture of your car. I think they won't admit to building such a hot car so not to make all the other saleen owners jealous.
Thanks Glenn - it is now! Direct link to page from www.s281sc.com (Note the special color treatment ) That makes the 2005 S/C coupe numbers all add up at 232 cars. Still can't figure out why Saleen says 1345 cars produced, but the numbers add up to 1351???
in a recent article with steve saleen and brad boling in mustang mounthly they said saleen produced 1500 cars in 05
article sorry i put the wong mag in its actully modified mustangs as i quote "Having sold more than 1,500 Saleen s-281's in 2005,Steve, on the particular day, was in a pretty good mood. artice by Brad Bowling Modfied Mustang October 2006
Saleen also had very inflated numbers in the OC Register the weekend of the store opening. I figure those numbers include S7s, Ford GT, and whatever else they cobble together. Business owners (small business owners especially) inflate their numbers.
The 1,500 total cars which Steve is quoted as saying also include the Saleen Focus cars (125?) and the prototype extreme models (1 or 2).
