1989 Saleen Ssc Mustang 39k Miles 1 Of 161 Built Rare Fox Body Dp5 And Sterns! on 2040-cars
McKinney, Texas, United States
Up for grabs is a 1989 Saleen SSC, serial number 100. I purchased this car late last year from a Director of the Saleen Club of America who had spent the previous few years restoring the car into what you see today. Since I purchased it, I have only put around 200 miles on it and as of the day of listing this car, it has 39,415 original miles. The car is in really nice shape for a 25-year-old car and would be a great opportunity to own a rare SSC that can be occasionally driven as well as taken to car shows. The mileage may change slightly as the weather is nice in Dallas and there are a ton of car shows this summer that I may attend. The previous owner did plenty of work making this car one of the nicest SSC’s on the market. The car has had all fluids including the brake and differential fluid replaced. The original grooved SSC rotors are still in place and are in good shape. The car has had the smog pump assembly deleted and has an off road x pipe running through Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers with chrome Bassani exhaust pipes which look and sound great. (Very aggressive sound) I actually have the original SSC “trumpet” exhaust tips and will include them with the car when purchased. A previous owner replaced the original shocks/struts with Koni adjustable units as the original Monroe Cockpit Adjustable units were prone to failure and replacement parts were /are impossible to find. I have never bothered to charge the AC system but the previous owner believed that is all that would be needed to have it working…the heater works fine. The car will come with (2) sets of Saleen floor mats, I have the originals put away and had a very nice set of repro mats made for day to day use that actually look nicer than the originals. The car also will come with (2) sets of wheels and tires. The stock set of 16” white DP5 wheels will be included and they have some decent tires on them, the car currently has the ultra desirable 17” Stern 3 piece wheels with nice BFG tires. These Sterns are the very hard to find correct offsets for a foxbody and I see both the Stern’s and the DP5’s sell all the time for upwards of $3000 for a set…this car comes with BOTH SETS! The factory roll bar is in place and has a nice billet aluminum fire extinguisher mount and white fire extinguisher. Next is the list of items that the previous owner replaced in the few years prior to my purchase, I have a binder that is close to 3 inches thick with receipts and invoices for the vast majority of these items: New Eibach springs, New Prothane spring isolators, New Ford quad shocks, New Prothane sway bar and end link bushings, NOS Carlite windshield, New correct Carlite quarter windows, New belt moldings, New Ford cowel vent, New wiper arms, New door and hatch weather stripping, New drip rail moldings, New drivers side door handle, NOS Ford 6 piece head light assembly, New door speaker grills, New door bezels, New scuff plates, NOS Ford fan and clutch assembly, NOS Ford radiator over flow tank and cap, New Ford distributor cover, New coil cover, NOS Saleen emissions label on coil cover, New Ford IAC, New TPS, NOS Ford belt tensioner, New serpentine belt, Fresh powder coating on original intake, NOS Ford radiator brackets, NOS Ford hood latch, New Ford hood release cable, Like New filter box and air intake tube, NOS MAF bracket, New power steering pump and cap, New Ford radiator hoses, NOS Ford battery cables (original lead style), New water pump, New MSD plug wires, New front brake lines, New Centerforce clutch assembly, New Ford clutch fork, New clutch fork pivot stud, New Ford clutch cable, New Ford speedometer cable, New Ford speed sensor, New Hurst shifter, Original World Class T-5 was professionally rebuilt, New oil level sensor, New parking brake assembly, New pedal pads, New Ford hatch release button, New Ford fuel tank release button, New master cylinder cover gasket, New valve cover gaskets, New Ford ashtray, New Ford cigarette lighter, New lumbar bulbs, New seat side handles, New Ford window and door lock switch plates, as well as the instrument cluster was professionally serviced to ensure all gauges functioned properly. Invoices total over $7,000! The
factory audio system was something that I upgraded as the factory speakers had
all deteriorated and sounded awful. The new audio system consists of an iPhone
lighting connector providing audio out and charging for the iPhone/iPod and
then is running the signal through a JL Audio remote volume control. The signal
then passes through an Audio Control 2XS electronic crossover and on to a pair
of sweet old school Zapco Studio 150 amps. The rear sound enclosure has been
retrofitted to house two Kicker 8” Subs being powered by one of the Studio 150
amps and the other Studio 150 powers a set of Zapco Shallow mount 6.5”
components in the doors and tweeters in the stock dash locations. The rare
Pioneer DEH55 CD player and EQ-4000 are still in the dash however they have
been bypassed. CD players were cool in 1989…not in 2014! I will include the
stock Pioneer GM3000 amp that came in the car in the sale, but I am not sure if
it works or not. I have to admit, the system sounds great when the car is
parked, but the lope of the cam and the exhaust makes it a bit difficult to
hear when on the road. The 5.0 creates its own music for sure. Once again, this is probably one of the nicest SSC for sale in the U.S. and these cars get more rare every day. Please manage your expectations however, the car is 25 years old with close to 40K miles, it is not a time capsule, mint, rotisserie restored, or some trailer queen that you should be afraid to breathe on. There were only 161 of these made..you can own #100! Value will only go up! The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the listing at any time. ****6/28/2014 6:45CST I thought I would answer questions in the listing description itself so that eBay app users could see the Q & A's as well. -Ever had any body damage to your knowledge? The past owner did not think it has ever had any body damage however it looks like it may have had the hatch repainted some time ago and was blended in. I only say that because that paint on the hatch looks at little too perfect and Ford was/is not known for nice paint jobs. -Lien free title in your name? Yes, I have the Blue Texas Title in hand. There are no Liens on the car. -Does the car leak any fluids or burn any oil? As with most 5.0's of this age it does leak a tiny amount of oil. I would say a couple drops a month. I have a piece of plastic under the car that catches any leaks, and it does not drop much. It does not burn any oil at all. -Do the windows, door locks, remote hatch all work? Yes, all those electrical items work as they should. |

Aluminum lightweighting does, in fact, save fuel
Mon, Apr 14 2014When the best-selling US truck sheds the equivalent weight of three football fullbacks by shifting to aluminum, folks start paying attention. Oak Ridge National Laboratory took a closer look at whether the reduced fuel consumption from a lighter aluminum body makes up for the fact that producing aluminum is far more energy intensive than steel. And the results of the study are pretty encouraging. In a nutshell, the energy needed to produce a vehicle's raw materials accounts for about 10 percent of a typical vehicle's carbon footprint during its total lifecycle, and that number is up from six percent because of advancements in fuel economy (fuel use is down to about 68 percent of total emissions from about 75 percent). Still, even with that higher material-extraction share, the fuel-efficiency gains from aluminum compared to steel will offset the additional vehicle-extraction energy in just 12,000 miles of driving, according to the study. That means that, from an environmental standpoint, aluminum vehicles are playing with the house's money after just one year on the road. Aluminum-sheet construction got topical real quickly earlier this year when Ford said the 2015 F-150 pickup truck would go to a 93-percent aluminum body construction. In addition to aluminum being less corrosive than steel, that change caused the F-150 to shed 700 pounds from its curb weight. And it looks like the Explorer and Expedition SUVs may go on an aluminum diet next. Take a look at SAE International's synopsis of the Oak Ridge Lab's study below. Life Cycle Energy and Environmental Assessment of Aluminum-Intensive Vehicle Design Advanced lightweight materials are increasingly being incorporated into new vehicle designs by automakers to enhance performance and assist in complying with increasing requirements of corporate average fuel economy standards. To assess the primary energy and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) implications of vehicle designs utilizing these materials, this study examines the potential life cycle impacts of two lightweight material alternative vehicle designs, i.e., steel and aluminum of a typical passenger vehicle operated today in North America. LCA for three common alternative lightweight vehicle designs are evaluated: current production ("Baseline"), an advanced high strength steel and aluminum design ("LWSV"), and an aluminum-intensive design (AIV).
2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.
