Will 1 Out of 2 Suffice?

1: Harbin Automotive, a Ford and Chevy dealer serving Scottsboro, Huntsville, and all of Jackson County, recently became one of an elite group of Saleen dealerships throughout the country. As one of the only Saleen locations between Nashville and Atlanta, auto enthusiasts now can find a converted Mustang and Camaro on the Harbin Automotive lot. Although supply is limited, Harbin Automotive expects to continue receiving shipments from Saleen throughout the year.

2. I'm sorry, I was distracted by the glowing press which provides a timeline showing how Saleen's very comprehensive global strategy initiative is playing out; and the very active Facebook page with over 76,000 likes and some very rabid (in a good way) fans.

Thanks - I learned a lot!

I already knew they were in the process over the past year or so before they signed up with Naples Motorsports and they are one of them.

I don't have a link to provide for the China cars that were sold... I know they sold more then what they took. And let me correct myself is saying that 3 of the 4 cars they took over there were pre-sold... Just the S7 was available at the autoshow.

I can also tell you that they had all 9 of the 10 total produced 30th anniversary mustangs sold as of last month and I'm sure the last one is gone too. The other 20 (10 each of Camaro and Challenger) where half gone as of a couple months ago. They have built several 351 mustangs over the last several months as well. So yes they are selling cars but now with the redesign of the Mustang, people are now wanting to wait for that new design to become available.


You claim to know a lot as well but much information you are providing is based on vehicles produced 6-7 years ago and have nothing to do with the current Saleen Automotive.

I love coming on here reading all the posts with information that a lot of times is not true but everyone goes running with it. Do you own a Saleen Vehicle or ever have? I have personally owned several and still do to this day. I have been around Saleens for over 15 years and know much of the history of Saleen over the years.

Time will tell what happens with Saleen and what they come out with. The same people saying now that they won't do this or that would have said the same back in the early 2000's when they DID produce the S7. If Ford didn't think Saleen could do what they have done, then Ford would not have had Saleen build the Ford GT.

You have to realize that Steve has had to rebuild his name/brand (Saleen) because of what they did (the guys in Michigan) so it will take time and $$$ to do so. He has done it before and he can do it again.

Take it as you want what I am posting here... Anything is possible. They could be closed by the end of the year (which I don't think will happen) or you will be reading about them oepning new Saleen locations, the new Saleen Mustang 2015, the new Saleen Tesla and the new Saleen Supercar.
