I dropped by Advantage Ford to catch a glimpse of their two Saleens before they find homes. The red one has already sold for 79k!:eek: After drooling for a few minutes, the salesman let me take a couple pics. The "05c" on the front bumper means it's the 5th one to come to Canada. The black one is the 10th. There should be about 30 in Canada by the end of the year.:drool:
