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.

Next SVT Mustang may axe Shelby name, go naturally aspirated

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Following our first glimpse at the 2015 Ford Mustang out on the road, the fine folks at Road and Track have divulged some details on what the Blue Oval's next pony might have in store. We've already seen that the car will get some very sleek, Evos-inspired design cues, and an independent rear suspension is indeed in store. These new details, however, concern the muscle car's beating heart.
For starters, the base Ford coupe is expected to carry on with V6 power, likely from the same 3.7-liter unit found in today's car. From there, R&T says the next step up will be a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, likely displacing 2.3 liters, putting out as much as 350 horsepower. Of course, a Mustang wouldn't be a Mustang without V8 thrust, and R&T states that the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 will continue on into the 2015 car, making something like 450 horsepower.
But it's at the high end of the Mustang range where things will, reportedly, get very, very interesting. Road & Track claims that the top-shelf 'Stang will likely lose the supercharger from its engine, producing a metric crap-ton of naturally aspirated grunt instead. Additionally, the SVT-fettled Mustang will likely be dropping its Shelby moniker, in favor of "a name you're familiar with," according to the magazine (you know, like, Cobra).

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.

MotorWeek remembers pre-EcoBoost Ford with the Thunderbird TurboCoupe

Thu, Feb 26 2015

Sometimes it feels great to embrace nostalgia for a trip down memory lane, and MotorWeek indulges that occasional desire with its regular Retro Review series. This time, the long-lived show goes back to the '80s to check out two of the top performance vehicles in the Ford lineup at the time – the 1987 Thunderbird TurboCoupe and Mustang GT. Both models had just received thorough refreshes after several years on the market. Long before an EcoBoost badge ever met its models, Ford made early forays into experimenting with turbocharging on vehicles like the T-Bird TurboCoupe. Based on MotorWeek's assessment, the company was on the right track. The boosted 2.3-liter four-cylinder was apparently a bit coarse but offered 190 horsepower with little turbo lag, compared to 155 hp the year before. The Mustang GT is likely the more-fondly remembered of these performance Fords today and provides an interesting point of comparison against the TurboCoupe. MotorWeek found some faults with the 'Stang, though. While it was quick for the time with a sprint to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, the 'car was described as "a nose-heavy beast" for its handling. And for a look at Ford's future in turbocharging – the GT will have an EcoBoost powerplant – check out our Related Video:
