The signature on the dash don't mean nothing... Saleen signed tons of them like that...

But all in all... Looks nice...
 
i would give him what he had into the mods, why take a saleen and put a 408 in it why not buy a v6 and put one in it and i guess a body kit if you must have one, im not that big on saleens because everybody that has one think they are the shit and its the fastest piece on the road, i guess this one might acutally be quick but thats besides the point
 
In the Corvette world, people spend $35-55K for the car, then put $25-40K in mods, and then try getting $40-50K for the car.

Is the Mustang world different?

$50K for that car may be a good deal if you were going to build something like that, but from my experience, most people who can would rather get a stock car and mod it themselves.

I would be concerned that the guy is selling it after only 900 miles on the combo. That gives me a feeling that the car has ongoing issues and he's tryign to dump it, although I could be totally wrong.
