Sam, send me an email to [email protected] and I will forward my Saleen pictures as well. BEAU-TI-FUL car... enjoy it
 
Great choice Sam! First the extreme, now this :biggrin I've got to hand it to Saleen with the latest stuff they have. I was never crazy about the older cars, but the Extreme, the Heritage, the Parnelli...they're all fantastic.

Sam-

Do you know what kind (and size) wheels those are on the PJ car? Might look good on my GT500.

Thx-
 
PJ Mustang

Sam - you're one lucky guy - Extreme looked so good on your trailer leaving The Ritz. And the Parnelli Boss 302 coming your way in a few weeks. That car just blew me away at the Saleen open house. I'll forward some photo's to you - when I learn how. Jeff
 
Sorry for the confusion. I should have said I ordered one of the first Parnelli Jones mustangs at the auto show.

The original Boss Trans Am cars ran Minilites... Wonder if they are made by them of a replication? They look sharp! :wink
 
wow--i thought i was the only screwball that loved that car---ya sure can tell we are all certified car crazy--hehehehehe
bony--thx a ton for the picture--great shot
chris--not sure who manufactured the wheels, i was led to believe that they are a saleen design, but i will get more info for you
the wheels are 19x9 front and 19x10 rear.
i had thought the same thing about the 20's on the extreme, but i was told the bolt pattern was different for the mustang and the gt(40), so i would assume the same holds true for this new parnelli.
the wait is already killing me, but like they say--"all good things come in time"
i just read through all the info saleen sent me the wheels are "minilite" ????

thx again all
