482 CI SOHC "Cammer" 2005 Saleen!!!!

[cobracammer]

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that the car which many of you have seen on this Forum (and many have assisted with advice) is for sale!!. This car was also featured on the CarFix TV show (Lou and Jared!) 

This, of course, is my 2005 Saleen S281 that now has a 482 CI SOHC "Cammer" engine build by Jay Brown!

Robert Pond all aluminum block, Robert Pond Dual Quad intake, Bill Coon heads, Ferrera Valves, Diamond Pistons (Ceramic coated tops with Teflon side skirt coating).

Comp Cams

T & D Rockers

Forged Crankshaft (Stroked)

Forged H Beam Rods

Custom made ceramic coated headers

McCleod Dual Clutch

Shelby GT500 hydraulic Throw out bearing

Mated to a T-56 Magnum XL 6 speed transmission

Custom 1 piece aluminum driveshaft

Currie 9" with beefier 31 spline axles & 3.89 Gears.

Front and rear disc brakes have been upgraded to the Wilwood drilled and larger slotted 2 piece rotors with 6 pistons up front and 4 pistons in the rear.

Electric power steering installed from EPAS out of Florida (Really helps when turning those 20" wheels)

3 gallon Accusump installed to ensure pre-oiling on start up and cornering.

FiTech's Power adder EFI system (Dual Quad) setup with timing control has for the most part been completely dialed in.

3 Core Aluminum Radiation with Spall fans to ensure the motor stays cool


Honestly the only issue is there is a small oil leak from the rear china rail.  Other than that, this car has been slowly dialed in over the last 10 years.  Almost never driven- Possibly less than 200 miles total since built. 

Im sure there is more, but will try to update this advertisement as we go.  Please spread the word!!!

Where is the link? I could not locate car on B.A.T.

[cobracammer]

Im creating the Auction as we speak!  Stay tuned

[cobracammer]

Just waiting for Bring-a-Trailer to post the auction and I will post a link here in the Forum.  Thanks all!!

[cobracammer]

Hello All,

OK- new development....  Bring-a-trailer (Oddly) has declined to activate the auction.  Hmmm.  Anyway, I guess for now, I am officially posting the car for sale on here!!!  I had planned on the reserve on the auction to be $95,000 (which would still not be a break even for just parts alone!).

Please let me know if your interested.  Send me your questions, comments, and/or offers!

I will try and post all answers to any questions on this thread so everyone has the information.

Thanks again!

BaT is a bit tricky concerning what they accept and decline, and the "reasons" are aften never given which can leave a potential seller confused as to why.

In your case I would hazard a guess as being the $95,000 reserve.

It does not matter what your receipts are, build costs are, or reasons for the reserve...all that matters is BaT likely thinks the reserve is too high.
This likely stems from BaT favoring "no reserve" auctions because they bring bidders to their sight, as well as sales due to an all but certain sale.

I suggest you directly ask BaT why they refused the auction....they might tell you, they might not.

maybe its a newer car that may not be emissions legal in all states .the feds are going after builders all over!

[cobracammer]

Thanks guys.  I will try asking just to know.  If they explain, I will let you all know.

Hello All,

This was BaT’s response:

“ Thank you so much for taking the time to submit your Saleen Mustang and thanks for your patience while we get back to you to provide some additional insight during this busy time. It looks to be a neat example and I'm sorry that we won't be moving forward.
 
To give you some additional perspective, we are a curated marketplace and are very selective with the cars we accept for auction. We are simply inundated with submissions of great vehicles at this time, and our curation team tends to favor examples with a clean Carfax history and fewer modifications when considering submissions of these Saleens. Unfortunately, our current volume means we are often faced with the difficult decision of turning down good cars from motivated sellers like yourself.

We appreciate the merits of your car and our decision does not mean it isn't desirable. We wish you the best of luck with the sale and hopefully we'll have the opportunity to work with you in the future.

Thank you for understanding. ”

funny,they dont have time for your car but plenty of $5,000-$10,000 dollar what i would call polished turds that dont have a similar engine sold on bat for $140k.your engine is better than that 60 year crate engine that would cost another 20k to get that one running.just my 50 cents.inflation.

If you're still looking for a venue, carsandbids.com

I caught the first couple of minutes of the Car Fix episode. I'll return to watch the rest after this.

No offense, but if you're expecting $95k.....not with that wiring under the hood.

I have a clientele from vehicles like yours and I've helped them to get much closer to their break even point. Wiring has been the most popular area in need of attention. 

Poorly ran and uncovered colored wires are unsightly. Again I mean no offense, but find yourself someone that can clean that up.

Good luck with your sale, and congratulations for making a TV show.

[cobracammer]

Sorry for the late reply.  I understand. The wiring has since been cleaned up.  That "Rats Nest" was just for TV.  The cast of the Show (Jared Specifically) explained to me that he loves wiring.  They did a real nice job cleaning up the wires before giving the car back to me post production 

[ArtZarateJr]

Well that's good to hear! I really love the whole build. I owned a 2008 Extreme that took $12k to make it fun. The amount of time and money you put in....well, I can't imagine.

I don't know if you've sold it, but I wish you well.
