That whole auction reads like a lawsuit waiting to happen. First they say "Tribute S/C Convertible w/ Twin Super Chargers" and then later on they say "Saleen twin screw supercharger"... so I guess that each screw in a twin screw supercharger constitutes as a "supercharger" and thus you can claim it is a twin supercharged engine?? I think NOT!
And what the heck is it a tribute to?? Tribute to a Mustang never built in the past? And lastly, we promise that only 50 will be made THIS YEAR, probably because they can't find 51 suckers to pay pver $55k for something worth $40k!

I know the guys that are building these cars. They are out of Dallas and basically the car is just the Cervini's kit with a Saleen supercharger, and some interior work. Where the differ from some people is they are doing a really good job of molding the side scoops into the body. This car was sold at Barrett Jackson in Florida for some ridiculous amount. They call it Tribute because they are doing a tribute to Eleanor which is whatever. But the company doing these actually does true Eleanor recreations as well. They do good work but the price is all wrong. I wanted them to do my '06 and they said it'd be $18k and I told them I'll pass. Now this isn't the people I know selling the car. This is the guy that bought it at Barrett Jackson I'm guessing. Either way I agree they need to get their story straight to avoid confusion of what is being sold.
