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.

2015 Ford F-150 to get 2.7-liter EcoBoost?

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

As we prepare for the arrival of the all-new, next-generation Ford F-150, rumors about the new truck are picking up steam. Naturally, many of said rumors aren't just related to the way the truck will look (it's expected to take design cues from the Atlas concept shown above), they're tied to what's going to motivate the Blue Oval mainstay, with Ford's EcoBoost range likely to play an increasingly key role. While we're still expecting the current 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 to retain its position as a premium alternative to Ford's naturally aspirated V6 and V8, a Canadian automotive news site is proposing that the Dearborn automaker is also preparing a new, more fuel-efficient downsized EcoBoost option.
Autos.ca is reporting that a new, 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 could find its way into the lighter, aluminum-intensive truck. The new engine supposedly makes use of asymmetrical turbos to generate 320 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque - substantially more impressive numbers than the current 3.7-liter base engine's 302 ponies and 278 lb-ft - while offering improved fuel economy and emissions. The new 2.7 EcoBoost (internally dubbed "Nano") isn't expected to supplant the naturally aspirated V6 as the F-150's base engine, it's expected to slot in above directly it.
Naturally, we're prescribing more than a few grains of salt to go with these rumors, at least until Ford debuts the next F-150 at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, a reveal we'll be covering in a mere two weeks.

Ford spotted testing new Focus RS at the Nurburgring

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford is expected to be launching a revised version of the Focus ST soon, but the latest snapshots from our spy photographers at the Nürburgring suggest that the Blue Oval is already working on an even more potent example: the new Focus RS.
Though the partially disguised test mule is wearing an ST badge (along with a Dewey sticker that makes us wonder what adventures Huey and Louie are up to and what manner of duck-tail rear spoiler they may be wearing), there are several tell-tale signs that something else is afoot here. There's a larger front air dam, bigger brake calipers, dual exhaust tips (instead of the central exhaust on the ST) and a reshaped wing protruding from the trailing edge of the roof.
That may all be well and fine, but what's under the hood? We don't know yet for sure, but word has it that Ford is preparing to port over the 2.3-liter turbo four offered in the new Mustang, where it packs 305 horsepower and almost as much torque - potentially retuned to produce even more for the top-of-the-line Focus, which could channel it all to the front wheels like the last model or pack an all-wheel drive system. The Global C platform on which the Focus is based does, after all, also underpin AWD models like the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC.

Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados

Thu, 22 May 2014

Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.
