Model Information
In 2007, Saleen and American Racing Legend, Parnelli Jones, created a limited-edition version of the Mustang in its Irvine, California factory commemorating Parnelli's 1970 SCCA Ford Mustang Boss 302 racer. Though often called the Parnelli Jones BOSS S302, it was designed to pay homage to the legendary 1970 Boss 302 that Parnelli Jones had raced and won back in the Trans Am series against Javelins, Camaros and Cudas. This limited-production Mustang comes with a stroked out version of the stock Mustang GT 281 c.i. engine, making it a 302 cid 3-valve aluminum V8, with 400 hp (300 kW) and 390 lb·ft (529 N·m) of torque. On the outside, the S302 features a new front fascia, MACH I "Shaker" hood, rear window louvers, rear deck wing, hockey shaped side stripes, and custom edition wheels. Other special performance enhancements to this car include a special Watts-Link suspension unique to the 1970 Boss Mustang used by Parnelli Jones. Each unit was personally signed by Parnelli Jones and Steve Saleen on the center dash. The Limited Production Run was only 500 cars.
This very special Mustang is one of the best examples of this limited edition car in existence. Only 500 examples were made and this car is #160. The Mustang is painted in the historic Grabber Orange with black racing stripes similar to the 1970 Boss Mustang successfully raced by Parnelli Jones. The car was purchased new at the Ford dealership in Pikeville, KY as its only allotment. From there it was trailered to the storage garage where car has been driven weekly for one mile or so. All 581 miles have been for this careful maintenance. It has never ever been raced though it is itching to. The car remains as original as possible. All original paperwork is included, complete with window sticker and photos of it being built in the factory in California from a stock Mustang GT. The floor mats, owner’s manual and many other items with the car are also included. A few extra ordered racing number decals are still in packaging. This car is as new as you would want it to be after 6 years it. The front bumper remains undrilled for the license plate holder. The car’s paint and interior are in new condition with no blemishes. I am sure the car has a clean carfax and autocheck. This is a true collector vehicle where FEW remain with such low mileage. It is one of the finest.
Vehicle is also listed for sale locally. Seller reserves the right to withdraw item at any time

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
