Hi all.


I'm selling a 1998 Saleen S-281 Speedster that I recently purchased. It's the Speedster edition, perfect for the summer.

I'm the third owner and the car was originally purchased from Galpin Ford in Los Angeles. This is a real Saleen, number 114 for 1998. The color is a dark red and the interior is black.

Exterior is 8 out of 10 (would be a 10, but the front fascia and bumper have some scrapes and scratches and one of the rims has a scratch as well). 

Interior is 9 out of 10 (no rips in seats, hasn't been under the sun). 

10 out of 10 mechanically. Drives perfect. 

This car is naturally aspirated, has a 4.6L V-8 that runs perfectly, mated to a 5-speed manual. The clutch is tight, much like the rest of the car. 

The car has roughly 33,000 original miles (I can send you a Carfax report upon request) and feels like it's brand new. The tires are fresh and the brakes are perfect (original brake pads). 

The car needs nothing and is ready to go. It does have some cosmetic issues (including a scraped front fascia), but I decided not to fix them before selling because the new owner should fix it as he/she feels appropriate. 

All fluids are good and the car is perfect mechanically. 

The car comes with a hard tonneau cover, a plastic/vinyl tonneau cover (more of a cover for the rear seats) as well as a car cover. I will also do an oil change for the new owner (using Mobil 1 synthetic oil and filter). 

Call Alex with any questions or to schedule a viewing - 818-458-9255. 

You can also e-mail at sashahartounian@gmail.com

Car is located in Los Angeles and is for sale locally. 

*** This is my fourth Saleen Mustang (I've owned a 1999 S-281, a 2000 S-281 and a 2007 S-281). I sold the '99 on ebay a few years ago and still keep in touch with the owner. All cars were perfect, but this '98 is probably the best out of the bunch.

2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.

Jerry Seinfeld doesn't love Sarah Jessica Parker's new Country Squire in latest CiCGC

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has finally returned for its fourth season of combining Jerry Seinfeld, a miscellaneous celebrity and a cup of java. But rather than fondly remembering some older piece of automotive machinery, this time around, Seinfeld is utterly unable to keep his hatred of Sarah Jessica Parker's 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire from coming out to hilarious effect.
However, Parker has such a high level of infectious enthusiasm for her recently purchased Country Squire that she seems to win over Seinfeld by the end - at least a little bit. For most of their time together, the two of them drive around Manhattan and the suburbs waxing nostalgic about what things were like when these wagons were ubiquitous.
Since this is actually SJP's car, she and Seinfeld trade off driving duties, and the image above should give you some indication of Seinfeld's reaction to the Sex and the City star behind the wheel. It seems this '70s land yacht might be a little too much for her to handle in New York traffic. Regardless, she is absolutely in love with her Ford.

2015 Ford Focus

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.
