Here is something that I’ve thought about quite a bit – custom cars and auto warranties. The Saleen Mustang has always been a fine example of a custom car that a major company makes. Steve Saleen made the first Saleen Mustang, and apparently sold the right s to the Saleen name to a new company. Well that new company has had some problems issuing valid auto warranties for the hot rod they make.

Here is a brief clip from the article: It’s been an up and down week for Saleen Performance Vehicles, the newly formed company owned by MJ Acquisitions. Just last week Saleen just launched the 435S, their first model based on the 2010 Mustang, but only days before they were slapped with a lawsuit filed by Steve Saleen demanding that they stop using the Saleen name.

While Mr. Saleen claims the lawsuit was filed to “protect the name, reputation and brand value of Steve Saleen”, Saleen Performance Vehicles claim they have every right to use the name after purchasing assets from Saleen, Inc. including the “Saleen brand for superchargers, aftermarket parts and high performance vehicles.” Despite the lawsuit, SPV plans to continue developing its lineup of performance Mustangs, and should launch a second vehicle some time in the fall.
