    I was at a car show here in SC. Street Thunder...the local corvette club threw it.

    well, as I was browsing around the stangs A certain 2004 saleen caught my eye...the thing that confused me were the cobra badges...I figured the guy just put a saleen kit on it....

    :nono: After looking at all the documentation I realized that it was an actual saleen cobra....didn't know saleen did cobra packages. :shrug: number 7 of 17 made.....pretttty rare.

    pretty nice car show over all....had a couple 07 gt500s, vipers, zo6 (2 with the 505hp ls7s), cobra r's, all kinds of classics....overall realllly good

    I think one of the local forum members has a cobra saleen (99/01) as well. I honestly dont know why saleen didnt start off with 4v...esp. after ford made the saleen a crappy-er-ish buy with the factory 03-04's powertrain 10k cheaper.

    haha, i agree it's worthless without pics....which is why some are being posted after I get out the shower :)

    My cameras memory card decided to go all wacky on me so I lost a good bit....but I still have a decent amount

    I remember reading about the '96-'98(not sure which year) Saleen Cobras in an old Mustang Monthly issue.
    I think they sprayed some of them with a purplish Mystic paint.

    haha, from what I gather, they're impossible to find, aren't they?

    That's too bad, if Saleen had kept up some of their aftermarket gear, instead of discontinuing them (taillight bezels, wheels, whatnot) they'd have made a bit more money than they already do...

    That Saleen Cobra is a nice car and should be worth a good amount in 20 years or so.
