The SCC  was Saleen's tribute to Fords 25th anniversary of the Mustang. There was only 161 of these cars produced.  This one is in excellent condition inside and out and is mechanically solid. The only issues with this car is the air does not blow cold air and it is missing on shock rubber on drivers side in the rear and the shock rattles other than that nothing else needs any attention. Saleen did engine modifications for the first time on theses cars so unlike your normal 225 hp mustang these produce 294 hp. Also they originally did not come with a back seat but this one has one. I do know a guy that can probably hook a person up with an back interior panel that originally was in the car. Other than the back seat the only other thing that is modified is I put a cold air intake on it but I do still have original air box. Also I have the original ssc wheels that go with the car. I put brand new wheels and tires on it shortly after I bought it which have about 500 miles on them. I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story but if anyone needs any more information just send me a message and I will be glad to answer any questions. Almost forgot this one is number 184 as you can see by the tags and is also signed by Steve Saleen himself. It is faded out but you can still see it on the passenger side of the dash. This car is originally from the south and stored winters while I owned it so body is pretty much rust free.

Forgot to mention it does have brand new high pressure fuel pump and new adjustable fuel regulator for those of you that might want to modify things or possibly supercharge it the fuel pump will pump plenty of gas.

A few questions have been raised about damage and repainting of the car. Just so it is clear yes the car did suffer some damage and has been repainted. I do not have a lot of info or details about that except it involved the drivers door and passenger front and it was all fixed when I purchased it. I can tell you it was a really good job of repairing. By looking at it and driving it you wouldn't know. Drives and handles great and all the door, fender, and other body gaps and lines match up pretty much perfectly. Also all the decals and trim are replaced as they were originally as far as I can see by comparing to any pictures that I researched.


On Sep-19-13 at 07:37:23 PDT, seller added the following information:

Had a few request about some more pictures. So I added a few hopefully they will give everybody a better idea just how good of shape the car is in from top to bottom. I took a couple from under the car as you can see pretty rust free. I also took some of the window moldings and weather stripping to show they are all in good condition also. There is no scrapes or cracks in the ground affects either. As far as other scratches or damage there  really are not any except one touched up spot on the corner by rear spoiler little bigger than a quarter and one little flaw in the paint on the front side of the rear spoiler about the size of a dime. Could not really get a good picture of either getting that close with my camera to try and get them in a picture just ended up as big blur. Either one not real noticeable. Really nice car inside and out and only reason I am selling I just don't drive it and I need a new truck.

2015 Fisker-Galpin Rocket Quick Spin [w/video]

Fri, Aug 21 2015

There is no shortage of fast Mustangs these days. Roush and Saleen will tune your ordinary 'Stang into something really special. Ford itself offers hot coupes like the new Shelby GT350. Don't even get me started on the endless aftermarket catalogs full of bolt-on whats-its and performance upgrades. Standing out within the huge crowd of tuned Mustangs is hard to do. But you'll definitely notice this one. "I always wanted to do a Mustang," Henrik Fisker told me as we walked toward his latest creation, the Rocket, parked outside the Inn at Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach, CA. The man knows a thing or two about design, after all. He penned the BMW Z8, as well as the Aston Martin DB9 and V8 Vantage. But this Rocket is, well, ugly. The rear end isn't totally terrible, and those 21-inch wheels are sort of cool, but taken as a whole, it looks like it swallowed something it doesn't like the taste of. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder – or perhaps, the creator – so we'll let Mr. Fisker explain why the car looks the way it does. See the video below for his brief design walkaround. If you can get past the looks, there's a world of performance to unleash, thanks to the boys at Galpin Auto Sports – the same folks responsible for the GTR1 I drove last year. The Mustang's 5.0-liter V8 gets a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger that improves output to 725 horsepower (the torque figure isn't available), and the car's suspension has been thoroughly reworked to help put all that grunt to the ground. It's very good, yet very familiar. Let me explain. Driving Notes Like the stock Mustang, it's really easy to drive. The car fires up with a growl, you move the shifter into first gear, and the action of engagement is as solid as it is in the normal 5.0-liter car. Both the clutch and throttle have a progressive action, so it's super easy to launch the Rocket (sorry). Once you get going, there's a ton of power to unleash. It doesn't smack you in the face right up front, though – the power delivery is smooth and linear. Easy to manage, too, thanks to that slick six-speed manual transmission. Credit Ford (and Getrag) for making a manual that's able to handle so much extra grunt. That said, the Rocket feels like your typical fast Mustang. It goes like hell in a straight line and there isn't a ton of steering feel. Galpin retuned the electronic power-assisted steering, but it's still too light considering the added power of the car.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.
