1989 Saleen #50

1989 Saleen #50 has been owned by the same family for almost three decades. The car has been sitting since 2008 and last started in 2011 or 2012. We are working to safely revive the drivetrain and do a light restoration on the exterior. The family that owns this vehicle wants to drive it and enjoy it by taking it to cars and coffee and even a beach trip or two. Follow along as we take care in preserving this family heirloom.
