LOL, its a funny story. In 1984, Steve Saleen's secretary miscounted the Saleens coming off the production line. She miscounted number 6 as number 9. As a result, no Saleen with bumper number 6 Saleen was registered that year. Steve Saleen thought the whole thing was a hoot and a tradition was born. No number 6 Saleen exists - ever!

Another funny story. Saleen Performance placed an order of Mustangs from Ford - they mistakenly placed the order for V6 Mustangs (LX) instead of GT Mustangs. They tried to return the cars to no avail. So, the "V6 Sport by Steve Saleen" was born - but it was short lived. The cars were available for just one model year - just long enough to sell off their stock of 6-ers. Too bad too. It was an interesting concept and one that Shelby and others would jump on years later.
