This 1999 S351 Saleen Speedster is perfect. I Purchased the car Summer of 2010. Why a Nut and Bolt restoration. I have only one way of doing cars for myself, the extreme way.I cant and wont settle for fair condition cars. The car was worthy of a full mechanical and exterior restoration even though it didnt need it. The prior owner had many performance upgrades. We returned the car to almost stock condition. I have a Saleen letter documenting the S351S. The car is in the Saleen Regestry under the prior owners name. Saleens Productions Records state the following...


Saleen Mustang 99-0025S
Ford VIN 1FAFP440XF111199
Black Exterior/Dark Charcoal interior convertible with silver graphics.
The car was manufactured with optional 3.55 gears. Housing is stamped 3.55
Saleen floor mats and wheel tire upgrade
Only 1 or 2 with these exact colors and options.
There were a total of 466  Manufactured in 1999. Of the 466 only 46 were S351 s and 26 were convertible and 7 were produced in black. 

Body....
Quarters, Doors and Deck lid are still in original body paint. All ground Spoilers were repainted. The Heat Extractor Hood after locating one was restored better than new. All graphics were replaced. Fender Emblems, Grill and Horse and Ford NOS parts. The car was professionally Sanded and Polished. The convertible top is in excellent condition and original. The rear cover was repainted and its perfect. Under Chassis is show detailed and painted.

Interior. Leather seats show usual signs of normal wear. The carpet was replaced with a Ford NOS Carpet set. Shifter Boot and instrument cluster lens and NOS Ford parts. Radio is a new Alpine unit.

Mechanically after finding the correct type engine and parts received a full rebuild. All engine bearings (standard) new, upgraded DSS pistons and a TFS Stage 2 Camshaft. Correct TFS Twisted Wedge Heads. The engine was professionally rebuild by our areas leading Ford Performance Re builder.  Correct Upper and Lower GT 40 Intake. 65 mm Throttle Body. Vortech Upgraded T Trim supercharger rebuilt by Vortech. Most to all engine hardware was re plated gold or clear cad. The Supercharger, intake and may parts I had show polished. Exhaust.... Ford Racing shorty stainless headers, BBK H Pipe and Saleen Cat Back. (I could not find the original style machine gun tip tailpipes) The under hood presentation is mind blowing. 

Drive line received a full mechanical restoration. Aluminum Flywheel, Centerforce Stage 2 clutch, T/O bearing, Full Transmission Refresh including all bearings. New Ford Clutch Cable..Rear Diff received all bearings and a fresh Ford Racing Gearset. All oils are Syentetic. Driveshaft is original Aluminum custom S351. All Drive line parts are show detailed, painted after stripping and most hardware plated.

Cooling system. I re designed the problem prone fan circuitry. A under fender 75 Amp fan Relay with an standalone fan switch was used. The radiator is original S351. All Hoses replaced.

Fuel System. A know problem with the S351. I used an Upgraded 03 04 Cobra Fuel tank with dual pumps. Relocated the EVap Module to the L/H side behind the wheel. Use the original 99 fuel feed line. Upgraded the return line to braided stainless steel Teflon. I also upgraded the fuel circuit using a 10 gauge feed wire and a 75 amp Relay.This fuel system will support in excess of 600 RWHP.  

Air Conditioning. Just to make sure all stones were turned over. I replaced the evaporator core, condenser,accumulator and hose. Also the car has a new AC compressor. 

The trunk has the all the evap cooling tubing. Quite a ton of effort to get it Federal Emissions Certified. Interesting to me is the fact that using the E Series 96 Van ecu with only one downstream Cat monitor input.The car needs 2 sensors ! Someone missed that during the certification process... 

Suspension is all rebuilt. Control arms are re bushed. New ball joints, tie rod ends, Correct Saleen springs and Struts on all 4 corners. Rear control arms are new, all hardware was cad plated and all suspension parts including the Saleen  modified engine cradle is Powder Coated. 

Breaks are Saleen S351. All parts are Power Coated and Cad Plated. ABS Module is a Ford NOS part. The Master Cylinder is a new replacement part. 

Wheel and Tires are used. Some signs of ware and a few chips. Tires are Yokohama Front 265/35/ZR18 and Rear 295/35/ZR18 Tread dept on average 7/32 to 8/32 inch.  

Electrically all circuits that were Saleen Modified were re wired. I was quite surprised at the questionable re wiring that Saleen had done. I found a ecu circuit  on the the wrong ECU pin. I have over 120 hours re wiring the saleen engine and dash ecu. I even took the time to rewire the dash ECU with a removalble 104 pin plug and wired a second DTC plug for body module communication and diagnostics. The Saleen is now Pats functional and the Dash (under seat) ECU is re flashable. I believe that there is no one more knowledgeable on the Dual Ford ECU S351 wiring that I. I found it interesting and educational. Got to hand it to Saleen. To outfit a Mustang with the last pushrod engine in the years of the mod motors was incredible.  

Keep in mind much of this work was un needed. I wanted an S351 like no other. Here it is....

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

Hertz Penske GT latest hot Ford Mustang at the rental counter

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

Just a couple days after announcing the resurrection of its Rent-A-Racer program, Hertz has revealed a new car being added to its Adrenalin Collection of rental cars. To signify its new partnership with Penske Racing in NASCAR, Hertz introduced a limited-edition version of the Ford Mustang GT, officially called the Hertz Penske GT, at last weekend's NASCAR races in Daytona. If you're like us, the rental specials remind with the original 1966 Shelby GT350-H and its later homage, the 2006 Shelby GT-H.
Visually, the Hertz Penske GT starts out with a black and yellow paint and graphics scheme as well as identifying badges, and Hertz has raided the Mustang parts bin for bits and bobs like a Boss 302 front splitter and Shelby GT500 rear valence to give the coupe its own unique look. The model has also receives performance improvements including upgraded suspension and exhaust, Brembo brakes, a retuned ECU and Recaro bucket seats. As a bonus, Penske Racing's Nationwide Series No. 22 Ford Mustang has been painted to match the new Hertz Penske GT. Other cars in the Hertz Adrenaline Collection include the standard version of the Ford Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Chevrolet Corvette convertible and Dodge Challenger R/T. Scroll down for the official press release for the Hertz Penske GT, or you can always head to your local Hertz airport location to see if they have one on the lot.

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014



Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
