One day a guy flagged me down on 75 asking to buy them. He had a real Saleen and had mangled one of his originals. I got $1500 for the set back in '98!

I eventually put a Dart Jr headed 302 in it with a C4 and a 100-shot. It went 7.38 @ 96 just WALKING out of the hole. It had a really tight converter. I swapped in a T5 and it felt a lot faster, especially out of the gate, but someone stole it before I could run it again.

That sounds like a FUN car!
