Couldn’t help but look into it more. Saleen made 88 focus examples like this, so it’s pretty rare. Issue is, at the time it was almost $30,000usd (8k more than the SVT) yet still was based on the Lowe zx3. So 5 spd instead of the 6spd, rear drum brakes etc. They all came with a nitrous setup but uninstalled. Electronics were all there but you had to fill the bottle and setup the main lines (about an hour of work) but would void your warranty. Even the big scoop is non functional (lifted from the mustang gt).

This example is straight from the saleen factory, including paint, that ugly graphic, those awful wheels etc. If someone was a ford collector it would be a pretty great time capsule and conversation piece. Otherwise as an actual car I never ever would.
