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  The original Kenwood has been replaced by a later model and looks very close to the original.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.

Ford Shelby GT350R sets 7:32.19 Nurburgring lap time

Mon, Jan 26 2015

It was over a year ago that the Chevy Camaro Z/28 clocked a Nurburgring lap time of 7 minutes and 37.47 seconds, propelling itself up the leader boards as the fastest American muscle car to lap the infamous Nordschleife. But now word has it that another piece of Detroit iron has clocked an even faster time. According to Evo, the new Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang has lapped the Green Hell in a blitzkrieg 7:32.19. That's more than five seconds faster than the Z/28, and propels the GT350R into proper supercar territory: incrementally quicker than the Ferrari 458 Italia and in league with lap times posted by the Nissan GT-R (though not the fastest Godzilla has clocked over the years). With output quoted at "more than 500 horsepower and more than 400 lb-ft of torque," and no 0-60, quarter-mile or top end figures revealed to date, this marks the first genuine measure of performance we've seen for the track-focused pony car - though the numbers have yet to be officially confirmed. The GT350R packs a 5.2-liter V8 unburdened by 130 pounds of excess weight – helped along by carbon-fiber wheels coated in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber. Related Video:

Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.

Saleen previews new 302 Mustang

Thu, 03 Jul 2014

The introduction of a new generation of a model like the Ford Mustang may be exciting enough in its own right for enthusiasts, but that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, because you know that Ford itself as well as numerous aftermarket tuners will soon follow up with even more desirable versions. And few Mustang tuners carry quite the same clout of Saleen.
Recently reunited after its previous split, Saleen is back on the map and hard at work on new aftermarket modifications for a wide array of muscle cars. We knew it would only be a matter of time before it would release a new 302 Mustang, and now it's sent out the first image to show us what to expect.
Details are scarce, but House that Steve Built says the 2015 Saleen 302 Mustang "is perfectly positioned as the next American exotic." And it should know, considering that it's the same outfit that produced the Saleen S7 that really was a true American exotic. From the teaser image above we can see that Saleen has given its Mustang a new front air dam, a very wide air scoop on the hood and of course Saleen's trademark slat grille.
