Original owner took the car to a authorized Saleen dealer and had the cosmetics and suspension package added to the car. Odometer reading is right at 48k with roughly 5k miles on the new motor. Car was completely torn apart and rebuilt in 2009 with 41k miles. Spun a bearing on an aluminator shortblock and had it rebuilt with better parts while I was overseas for 2 yrs by Mark @ Panhandle Performance. The heads were torn down, ultra sonic cleaning and reassembled. I have the build sheet for the motor, specs, receipts, etc in a folder for the entire car. The best parts were used on this car, I didn't take any shortcuts with it. Any additional questions, I'll be happy to answer. Thanks

thanks gents...I have thought about parting it out being that I could probably make more then what I'm asking in just parts but to be honest, more work then I want to deal with. Life is changing quickly and it's just time to part ways with it. I agree, the market sucks, and I think 23k obo for a car that makes 700+hp on pump is quite a deal.

Have you ever ran the 3.7 pulley on this car?

Edit: Whos tune is on the car now and is it the only tune since the new motor?

I haven't ran the 3.7 ever, still in the package along with the belt. It was estimated that the 3.7 would give me 24+psi. I was looking for a 4.38 to run 18-19psi on pump. As far as the tune. I had fastlane motorsports put a tune on it to break the motor in but I have 2 VMP tunes for it as well and have been running it ever since.

I would love to buy your car. I have followed it since the build. You don't want a Roush for a daily driver do you?:)
