"I have owned 98-011 XP6 since new. Blue with 192k miles. Never wrecked. Only body damage from valets that I stopped using."


The Saleen XP6 remains an even more elusive vehicle than its sibling, the Saleen XP8, because it was entirely a "mistake." Saleen had ordered a batch of Explorers in 1998 for transformation into an XP8; however, some six-cylinder Explorer XLTs were
thrown into the batch. Rather than send the Explorers back for an exchange, which would result in lost time and money for Saleen, they decided to outfit the six-cylinder Explorer XLTs instead with the XP8 package. Thus, the XP6 was born. As a result of
this "mistake," the production numbers for the XP6 are extremely low. It is estimated that a maximum of ten are in existence.
