This is a genuine 2002 Saleen with 59xxx miles on the body. Everything else was upgraded or new when I did the conversion. Everything was done right and not hacked up.

There are only a few of these conversions running around and this is by far the cleanest one out there. It looks factory. Huge 14" brakes. Car has factory blower from the 2013 shelbys and looks killer. Makes 649rwhp on 91 @15lbs on a VERY conservative dyno in my area.

I did this swap to be different and again there are not many of these out there. My last car was an 03 cobra with a full Saleen body kit. This time I wanted a genuine Saleen and a drivetrain you dont see everyday. If you want a killer looking unique car that runs awesome, here it is.

Inside I would give the interior a 9.5/10. Has brand new Cipher racing seats. The carpet is clean and believe it or not the car still smells new inside. I just installed a very nice stereo system in it including Focal speakers, infinity amp, and pioneer double din head unit. The guages are AEM wideband and Boost gauge and a aeroforcetech scan gauge.

T56 has 10xxx miles and was built with billet slides, bronze pads, and carbon blocking rings.
Spec Stage 2+
Aluminum driveshaft
Fore fuel hat with new twin AEM pumps
Dual FPDMs
-8 feed line
Aeromotive 100 micron fuel filter
Motor was 5xxx miles on it and has Ford GT rods and ARP hardware.
Brake calipers are Ford GT with GT500 14" rotors.
4.10 gears
Brand new Eaton Truetrac Diff and 31 spline axles
Saleen shocks/struts
Afco Dual pass heat exchanger
Dragon throttle body
SCT BA3000 Meter
MM CC plates
MM bumpsteer kit
MM coilovers
Granitelli Tubular front end
Car needs nothing and has no mechanical issues. Does not leak or burn oil.
Been to the track one and ran an 11.01 @129. This is at 4800 feet and granny shifting. At sea level this is an easy mid 10 second car and still gets 23 mpg on the freeway.
Clean title. I am the second owner and he was 60 years old. Car was stock when I bought it. The only paint work was I had the front bumper repainted because of rock chips. It matches perfect.
I have a ton of pics during the build for anyone interested.
Price is $30,000.

Here is a link to it on the dyno

Heres a bump for you Jrock. This car has to be seen in person to fully understand how amazing it really looks.
