Where were you at that had a barn? Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
i didnt take those pice..those are off the internet. the one i saw was blue or black couldnt tell.
it's rare but it's stats don't impress me that much:
'Its standard 5.0 liter V-8 delivers 222 horsepower and 298 foot-pounds of torque, seven horsepower and 10 foot-pounds more than the optional V-8 in the Ford Explorer. Saleen also offers an optional supercharger that produces a whopping 286 horsepower and 333 foot-pounds Along with its bigger shoes and 13-inch disc brakes, the Saleen Explorer is sprung for the race track, giving it performance numbers exceeding virtually all of its competition, and at a price ($36,790) much less than its competition. The only thing I'd change is to soften the ride. With Saleen's success in racing (three successive SCCA championships), the suspension gives you better control but a harsher ride on some road surfaces. Mileage was a respectable 17 mpg, thank heavens because of the fuel costs.'
^ got that off of a google search...
Val RIP

that car sold a few years ago, directly from Saleens warehouse, for i think around 10-18k.. cant remember exactly, might have been 8k. But yea.. saleen just goes crazy on their cars...lol. but the contour was never street legal, and wasnt even road tested. so the guy that bought it can never legalize it. but he has 1 of 2!, and it also was sold without the S/c setup....
just a little extra info..
