Saleen

Saleen Inc., celebrating its twentieth anniversary as a specialty vehicle manufacturer, specializes in the manufacture of vehicles for enthusiasts that include technology developed from the Saleen/Allen Speedlab race team, eight-time winners of sports car racing manufacturer championships.

Saleen creates high performance vehicles for street and track, including the S331 Sport Truck and the S281 Mustang.  The company also produces parts as well as offering design, engineering and certification services.

The company, started by former racing driver Steve Saleen, began in 1983.  Saleen used his business degree from USC, coupled with experience in his father's manufacturing business, to build the company.  His passion for racing also played a part.  Steve began autocrossing, then rapidly moved into SCCA pro series (Formula Atlantic, Trans-Am Championship) and then into Indy car racing.

By 1984, the first Saleen street car was ready for sale.  It boasted special aerodynamics, an attractive and highly functional cockpit and a precise handling suspension package.  The result was a car built as a limited edition model with individual serial numbers assuming authenticity.  Later, demonstrating the car's performance, the company's race team brought home a victory for Saleen, Ford and sponsor General Tire at the 24-hour race at Mosport Park in Ontario, Canada.

Coastal Ford is the only Authorized Dealer in BC to sell Saleen.  If you have any questions, please contact Todd Chilton at saleen@dealeremail.com.
