Even if you consolidate facilities, why would you sell equipment like this? Granted some of the items is older stock merchandise, but not all of it. I mean seriously ... 20 - 2008 Mustang GT's??? I can only guess things are hurting down at Saleen.

I watched the sale thru the day. All the mustang GT's went between 17 and 18 thousand new with plastic wrap still in the interior. Right off the train or truck.
