Hello everyone.  Up for bids is my 1987 Saleen Mustang.  It is car number 87-186.  It is finished in the original 1D dark grey and was painted about 6 years ago.   This Mustang wears all of its original VIN tagged sheet metal.  Never wrecked.  NOS quarter windows were replaced after the re paint.  Originals were faded pretty bad.  All of the Saleen specific parts are with the car.  I have done a few performance enhancing upgrades since I have owned it.  The engine is original but the cylinder heads have been replaced with 1995 vintage Lightning GT 40 type.  The intake manifold is an Explorer GT 40 type.  The valvetrain has 1.7 roller rockers.  Exhaust is Ford Motorsport headers going in to a NOS original catalytic convertor H-pipe and 2 1/2 inch Flowmaster cat back system with polished tail pipes. All of the original emissions and thermactor pieces are on the car and functional.  Passed a smog check in Las Vegas NV a couple of years ago with no problems.   The rear axle has a 3.27 gear.  Tires are 5 years old and are BF Goodrich G-Force KDW.  They have about 10k miles on them.

        The interior is in Good condition with some fading on the drivers seat side bolster.   Has all of the original interior pieces.  The original Kenwood has been replaced by a later model and looks very close to the original.  I have the original Kenwood stereo.  This Saleen runs and drives great.  I got 25 mpg on a trip to Las Vegas this past spring.  Was shown at the Mustang 50th Anniversary show in Las Vegas.   This is a very nice example of a foxbody Saleen that I get compliments on every time I drive it.

 Forgot to mention that all of the accessories including power windows and locks are in working condition.  The A/C  blows cold.  The discrepancy on the odometer reading is a result of the state of New Mexico not adding a 1 for the 100k.  The car shouldn't be dinged from Autocheck for that but it is what it is.   I have other pics available too if interested.

 Also I have a copy of the Marti report.  I can send a copy to anyone interested.  It shows being ordered through Damerow Ford in Beaverton Oregon.  The car has both the Saleen buck tag and Ford buck tag on the core support.  The Saleen has absolutely NO RUST.  Has been in a desert environment most of its life.

2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?

The 11 most expensive American cars ever

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.

Ford Mustang hit by Moore' Oklahoma's EF5 tornado lives to do another burnout

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. As you can see in the image above, the tornado's 200+ mph winds did quite a number on the car, but while most people would have likely called their insurance company and scrapped the car, Haden had other plans.
After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. Check out the KSBI TV news report video below showing before and after pictures of the tough 'Stang, as well as a video showing the newly lightweight coupe doing a smoky burnout.
