Our estimate is 14 Deep Violet S281 Saleen Mustangs were produced for the 1997 model year. Of those, 6 were convertibles. Of those, 5 featured the 5-speed manual transmission.
Each of the five 1997 S281 convertibles painted Violet, with black interior and 5-speed transmission were ordered by Fremont Ford. Fremont Ford ordered each Violet convertible with... Chrome Wheels, 3.55:1 gears and Speedster package. So, your S281 is one of 5 ordered exactly the same as 4 others by one Saleen Dealer.
The 1997 Violet Fremont Ford S281 Speedsters are:
97-0127
97-0168
97-0169
97-0198
97-0203
