On the positive side, at least he has good taste.....
S351R"Animal" said:That is the paint on the car. If I remember correctly it was owned by a NFL player who lived in Florida. It is a real Saleen also. It was on ebay awhile back.
marcus95 said:Scott is correct. Tha car was owned by a professional sports figure. I will not give out his name. Those pics are when he owned it. He sold it but not on Ebay. It is a real Saleen. I have multiple detailed pictures. If it is for sale again, I'm sure the guy would have new pics.
i see you found your way over to the thread...anyone else who wants to read up on it can see it here: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=249841 just a warning your going to have to sift through multiple pages of garbage posted by a character called 'endless' who is ranting like a 5 year oldS351R"Animal" said:That is the paint on the car.

im no expert on the subject but maybe it was an earlier version of the extreme paint. i have many pictures of all the extreme colored cars that ive seen and they all look very different depending on one major factor...light.C.Saleen said:no way thats stock saleen paint, they couldnt paint like that if you paid them to, my bro has 03 291(saleen cobra w/extreame rainbow)and it looks nothing like that, on the postive side some one did a nice job paint it, but im sure it not a saleen car, if you want an auth saleen u def dont want one with a choped up motor, but on the bright side at least hes got good taste in seats and paint!

Saleen Mike said:The Saleen that is pictured above from ebay is a '97 S281 with an added Vortech IIRC. Also, IIRC it traded hands north of $35k, it has been a while so I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
Total production for Saleens with the "Extreme" paint is only about a dozen cars. I think with a little effort we could produce pictures of all of them.
Light angles make all the differance in the world with the paint.
At Winterfest in 2004 we had 2 of them on the cruise. The '95 BASF "prototype" extreme, and the '97 Cobra extreme.
s351rspeedster said:I added the 97 S281 from above and found the 97 Widebody SR that makes 7 Saleens with the "Extreme" Paint.....can anyone else think of any more that we missed???
C. Saleen mentions that his brother owns the '03 Cobra Extreme in a post above. Not sure if he is the seller of the ebay car (and it did not sell) or if he picked it up from ebay.
That would be another one.
I'm feeling a bit lazy to check the registry to see the exact count on "Extreme Paint" cars.
