Back in Jan. 2004
I bought my first SC: 90-21. Ever since then I wanted another SC. So I
found 90 SC-18 in March of 2005 in rough shape with 125,000 miles
showing on the odometer. Someone powder coated the valve covers and the
Saleen intake white. The headers, prom m elbow, 70 mm mass air, radio,
Monroe g.p. shocks, and the radiator were all missing from the car. We
tore the car all apart in Jan. 06 and took it to perfection collision
center in Indy for the paint. In July of 06 I trailered the car home
with no interior, ground effects, windshield, dash, instruments, carpet,
etc.
We
had the seats recovered at J and E Upholstery here in Indy. With all of
this done assembly was started with a new windshield Carlite/Ford
brand. Then the interior was finished up. Here at the Saleen Ranch two
days before the Jeffersonville show we got the ground effects back on
and worked all night installing them. The body shop wheels were removed
and the SC wheels were installed, along with the Saleen decals. We have
a new engine / clutch / transmission ready to go into 90-18 so stayed
tuned for that article in an upcoming issue of PoweRRR.
