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.

2015 Ford F-150 brings big aluminum to the Rust Belt [w/video]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Just when you thought you'd figured the fullsize truck market out, Ford goes and throws us a massive curve ball with the 2015 F-150. The big headline news aren't tow or payload ratings, though we're sure those figures will be fully competitive if not class leading, they haven't yet been announced. Instead, the big headline news Ford is highlighting are the truck's new aluminum-intensive structure and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
And with good reason - all that aluminum means that Ford was able to cut a massive 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. That is going to cause all sorts of great things to happen to the 2015 F-150's driving dynamics, performance and fuel efficiency, not to mention its ability to haul heavy loads. For those customers worried about the strength of aluminum versus the more conventional steel, Ford is quick to point out that many military vehicles, such as the HMMWV and Bradley Fighting Vehicle, use a very similar sort of aluminum alloy in their construction.
It's also worth mentioning that the backbone, a fully boxed ladder frame, is hewn from high-strength steel. Ford says "2015 Ford F-150 is the strongest and most durable F-150 ever," for what it's worth, claiming that "torture tested" in labs and in the real world for more than 10 million miles. What's more, the truck, in disguised form, completed all 883 miles of the Baja 1000.

Unrestored 1969 Shelby GT500 one of many classic barn finds going to auction

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

We love a good barn find here at Autoblog. We like that there's a palpable excitement and sense of mystery surrounding barn finds. Each case has its own uniqueness to it, and this latest discovery is no different: an unrestored, one-owner 1969 Shelby GT500 with just 8,531 miles on it.
In the case of this particular barn find, many of the typical questions have already been answered. For example, we know who owned it - his name was Larry Brown. He recently passed away, and as he had no wife or children to inherit the estate, the car he purchased at Pennsylvania Ford dealer in May of 1969, will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneers.
The car was fastidiously maintained, having never been driven in the rain. In fact, Brown never even washed it, out of fear of it rusting. According to the auction website, the last time this car saw water was probably when it was detailed ahead of being delivered to Brown. If that doesn't sound like a fanatical sense of maintenance on the part of this GT500's owner, this next part will. The interior has been treated to a similarly painstaking attempt at preservation, with garbage bags covering the seats and two layers of floor mats over the carpets. The result is a car that, aesthetically, is in remarkable shape considering it's spent so long in a barn.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014



Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
