HOLY CRAP!

I had this dream, a LONG TIME AGO, that it was for sale. then, I woke up and realized that it wasn't a dream. It really WAY for sale.. .A LONG TIME AGO. and still is.

I'm not gonna even say it... ok, I will.

REPOST

ok, I feel better...

hum.. what the *For Off Highway Use Only* supposed to mean ?

seriously somebody know how much they want for it ?

they want like 20 grand, and the off road use thing means there are some non DOT approved mods to it.

Or it could've been a "Body in White" vehicle and if so wouldn't have a VIN.

Probably has something to do with the fact that it's HIDEOUS.

It's easy to see why it never come to market. Who would want it. That rear spoiler looks like it was made from handicapped bathtub railing.

i seriously looked into buying this.
but the amount of damage done to the body would require almost a complete repaint and reparing the CF so it looked good would be kinda hard.

plus they are staying rather firm on the $20k price tag.
at most i was going to offer them $5k.
just becuse it would be cool to own a one off car, even if it is kinda ugly.

i think it looks a bit ricey. i dont even think its an svt by the look of the grill. they should have put a list of engine mods. i would like to know whats under the hood of it. all i see are the aesthetic mods. only thing that looks good on it i think is the antena and the fender flairs.

I think it used to be supercharged, but they seem to have "uninstalled" that piece (except for the "supercharged" badge on the trunklid.)

Other than that...

$20k is steep. Yes, it's a one-off, but there are a lot of one-off Contours. They value their own name a bit too highly, IMO. Otherwise the kit isn't bad--just a little dated looking now. If it had some actual racing history, it might be worth what they're asking.

yes the car was supercharged, but they could never get it to run right so they took it off.
according to them, the car would take a lot to get it into drive-able condition. they wouldn't get into what was required to make it drive-able.
the most the car was driven was when the huffer was on it.
the car has very low mileage.

and yes it was an SVT.

i'll take the wheels and thats about it--

anyone realize how ugly and small the exhaust tips are?

I'm actually willing to go quite a bit higher than that... $20K is ridiculous (as is $5K). They'll get the message eventually. $12K is a happy price - and man do I have the drivetrain (and other resources) to give this Saleen back some serious "respect!" Car shows and maybe a Magazine article. Could happen. Iâ�?��?�ll bet Keith at ADC would love to see this thing show up next spring!

I haven't contacted them because who needs the stress and the expense of all that?

I'm going to offer my 2000 Black SVT for sale as soon as I have 65,000 miles on it. Someone will get a no-fooling, legitimately great deal.

When I'm down to two low mileage SVTs, and before I start serious Turbo 3L conversion on one of my tropic green 99 SVTs this fall, maybe then I'll send them a more than fair offer - which they will of course refuse!

Hey, I could throw a car in with the offer...

Does anyone from Saleen monitor this board?

Regardless, its still one ugly car...but with show quality paint and enough horsepower, no one will mind.

^^I wish i had the money and the cars this guy is throwin around ^^

Dollar days!!!

I'll be watching your milage VERY closely.....

that was the main reason i wanted it.
pur the huffer back on or do a turbo 3L
then just drive it to shows.
especially ford sponsored ones.

No intent to be obnoxious.
In other marques, the funds Iâ�?��?�ve set aside for my hobby would not be considered at all unusual. The Contour SVT is just a very inexpensive (and fun) car. After I build my â�?��?Evil Twin,â�?� Iâ�?��?�ll probably move on to a Noble.

they should be a law to prevent somebody to own more than 2 SVT

No worries, i'm just a lil jealous i guess

I want an SVT of each color...and one day i will

I agree. That means Jed has to give one to me; I don't have any SVT's that run.

That would mean I'm at my limit already, and can't buy a Lightning down the road sometime . . . hardly fair I think, lol.

i think he means contours...since the supply is dwindling.
