Now
to start, we are not a Saleen distributor or authorized parts
retailer. But, Jeff Dann of Bishop has sold Saleen parts in
Canada for over seven years to where we grew to be the largest
Saleen distributor in Canada and quickly grew to 5th overall
in the world.
As
time passes, things change and Bishop had to drop the Saleen
line in 2004 and move on to new opportunities. That dose not
mean that we can not help you now, over those seven years
we have gained quite a bit of knowledge of the Saleen line
and maybe we can help! Toll Free: 866-867-8324!

SALEEN
PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS
Saleen Inc., celebrating over twenty four years as a specialty
vehicle manufacturer, specializes in the manufacture of vehicles
for enthusiasts that include technology developed from the
Saleen/Allen Speedlab race team, five-time winners of sports
car racing manufacturer championships.
Saleen
creates high performance vehicles for street and track, including
the new S7 supercar, the S281, the XP8, and the race/road
SR. The company also produces and markets a broad line of
performance 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 assuring authenticity. Later, demonstrating
the car's performance, the companys race team brought
home a victory for Saleen, Ford and sponsor General Tire at
the 24-hour race at Mosport Park in Ontario, Canada.
Pushing
harder into the 1987 season, Saleen, now a three-car team,
captured all four SCCA World Challenge championship titles:
with Drivers Steve Saleen and Rick Titus; Team;
Manufacturer; and Tire. The team continued its winning ways
in 1988, claiming its third consecutive victory at Mosport
and taking the top three positions. The Mosport podium was
the first one, two, three finish for a Ford-powered car since
its cars took the top three positions at the 24 Hours of LeMans
in the late '60s.
In
1989, Steve Saleen entered Indy Car racing to gain experience
on the circuit that could translate to increased performance
for Saleen street vehicles. In 1991, Saleen Racing's Ford
Ranger won the 1991 SCCA Race Truck Championship.
In
1995, Steve Saleen teamed up with television and motion picture
star Tim Allen and formed the Saleen/Allen "RRR"
Speedlab race team, which campaigned Saleen Mustangs in the
SCCA World Challenge Series. The team won four SCCA Manufacturer's
Championship titles, winning in 1996, 1997, 1998. In 1999,
a Saleen customer in a turnkey Mustang SR Widebody race car
won the manufacturers title in Spain.
"The
knowledge we gain from motor sports feeds right back into
our street performance Saleen road cars, says founder
Steve Saleen. "Our customers are performance fans
they want the feeling of driving a race car. Our powerful,
specialty vehicles are a direct translation of superior racing
technology adapted to street use."

Saleen,
Inc. is certified by the federal government as a specialty
vehicle manufacturer and has produced nearly 7,000 vehicles,
more than any other American specialty manufacturer. Producing
a well-made car and putting "power in the hands of a
few" is the backbone of the Saleen tradition. A
pioneer in mass customization and niche vehicle manufacturing,
Saleens design and production practices are now being
adopted by major automobile companies.
"From the beginning we have been dedicated to one goal:
helping our customers get maximum performance and driving
pleasure," said Saleen. "Whether it's horsepower,
handling, aerodynamics or overall performance, we guarantee
that quality is engineered into every Saleen vehicle
