People are talking about The Saleen Book and Owners Registry: 20 Years of Saleen Mustangs - the 430-page hardcover scheduled for release in April by Driveway Books.

“The Saleen Book is such a thorough and colorful telling of the Saleen Mustang story that even I learned a lot reading it!” - Steve Saleen

“It’s about time somebody did a book on Steve, and I’m delighted to be a small part of the Saleen history.” - comedian and co-founder of Saleen/Allen Speedlab Tim Allen

“The Saleen Book and Owners Registry is a long-anticipated history of the Saleen Mustang in pictures and words. It’s a must for anybody interested in high-performance Mustangs. I’ll be using it for reference for years to come.” - automotive writer/photographer Jerry Heasley

The Saleen Book, of which only 5,000 will be printed, is available in two formats:

“The Standard” hardback edition includes a full-color history chapter for each year of Saleen production; the all-encompassing Owners Registry, which lists specs and available information on more than 7,000 individual Saleen Mustangs; an extensive media bibliography; and sidebars on cars of interest from the past two decades. This 20-year history retails for $60.

The premium hardback edition is known as “The Saleen 500,” as that’s how many are being produced with individual serial numbers on a bound certificate of authenticity; a high-quality, illustrated jacket; and Steve Saleen’s autograph. Each copy of this desirable collector’s edition is $120.

Automotive journalist and former Saleen publicist Brad Bowling wrote The Saleen Book from an insider’s angle that gives his story a uniquely intimate perspective. Illustrating the book are more than 500 of the 8,000 slides Bowling shot of original, unmodified cars as he traveled coast-to-coast researching this book, as well as many from Steve Saleen’s company archives.

Because this special publication is expected to move as quickly as a supercharged S-351, Driveway Books is encouraging pre-orders through this Web site (where VISA and MasterCard are welcome). Shipping for both versions of The Saleen Book will begin the first week in April; please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.

Today on Speed TV they did an episode of American Muscle Car about Steve Saleen and the history of his cars. This episode was named Race Bred.

 

I preordered the book, hopefully it gets here soon. My car is in it somewhere.

 

I picked up my copy yesterday from Brad Bowling himself. He even autographed it for me. Rob, your Saleen is on page 37.

 

Cool!

I want mine, like, yesterday.

I spoke to the Saleen rep at the NYIAS today, and he said to look for something from Saleen around August.

 

Rob,
Saleen is suppose to reveal their new 05 design at their annual Saleen factory show in September.

 

I received mine in the mail the other day finally. I love it!

After looking through it, I told the wifey that if we got a say an S-351 R-code, we would have red, white, and blue mustangs! One Turbo, one super and one n/a. How cool would that be? As usual I get the look.

Hey Chuck, I just saw won an auction for an SA-20 poster. Now I need the diecast to go with it......and of course real thing.....like my logic?

 

Rob,

I do like your thinking!
I recently ordered the 1/18th yellow S-351 coupe & vert, so I guess I should start looking for some real cars and use the new Saleen book as a reference.

I also just got the Saleen SA-20 poster and a friend was able to get Steve Saleen to sign it at the 40th show.
He added my #07 car number to the signature. (Per-ordered the diecast SA-20 too.)

 

How much does the book cost?

Where can I find die cast Saleens, especificaly in the 1/24 scale?

Sweeeet OK i'm now accepting donations to help me purchase this book. My paypal ID is.... J/K

 

I have it, and recommend it!

 

I've got one too.

It's a good reference for Saleen fans.

 

Sorry, not to hijack this thread, but they are redoing the body kit?
Or are they adding a new car to the lineup?

That would be surprising if they did a complete redesing after two years.

 

Rampant, that post was made 2 years ago.

 

Whoops, sorry about that -- didn't realize it was a dead thread -- it showed up in a new post search.
