Rights To The Saleen S7 Up For Sale As Company Hunts For Cash

After a few years spent finding his footing, Steve Saleen began to make a name for himself on the racing circuit as more than just a driver. By 1986, Saleen Automotive was on the rise with its racing Mustangs, and motorsports were the catalyst that took it to new heights.

Today, you can still buy Saleen Mustangs for the road, along with Camaros, Challengers and even a modified Tesla. But the most important part of Saleen history was the release of the S7 at the turn of the century — an American supercar that took on the best Europe had to offer. And now the remaining assets and all intellectual property from that iconic machine — and S7R racing variant and the S5S Raptor — are for sale at auction.

The sale will be controlled by GA Global Partners, and will include the six-remaining chassis and frames from the S7, the S7R, and the never-produced S5S Raptor: “These prized assets have been kept in safe storage for the past five years which makes this a truly rare and historic opportunity to own all assets and rights to the first ‘Great American Supercar,’ and allow a new owner to continue the legacy with the S5S Raptor,“ said Adam Alexander, CEO of GA Global Partners.
