Warning: have a valid man-card before pressing down on these performance driving pedals! This stunning 2005 Saleen S281- car number 191 - is truly impressive and extremely fund to drive!

For Mustang fans, it doesn't get much better than hearing Steve Saleen say he's "Reunited with the Saleen brand". The car's super straight body displays a glossy layer of Saleen Silver metallic clearcoat that, judging by its smooth appearance, has been maintained with the utmost care.  This car is a 100% accident-free showpiece that's been barely broken in. .... there's essentially nothing on the car that could be considered more than prerequisite shelf wear.

So if you're looking for an exclusive muscle car that's impressive, easy to live with, and turns heads at every intersection then bid quickly on this awesome Ford Mustang before you see your buddy put it in his garage!

This Saleen is garaged kept by it's original, non-smoking owner and is absolutely like new.  This car was purchased from the inside showroom at A.C Collins Chevrolet in Houston TX in July 2005 -- the 1st year of the newly designed Mustang body style makeover by Ford. I have original window sticker, Saleen owners manual, and all literature. The car has not been driven hard and is all stock with no add-ons. I have the title in hand.

As we all know, Steve Saleen's creations have never been defined by mere stripes and stickers. Straight from his shop, this Ford's heavily re-engineered 'mod motor' makes a powerful 340 lb./ft. of low-end torque. Visually, the engine compartment comes together just as well as the outside of the car. Saleen's install is exceptionally clean and display the Saleen-branded centerpiece and clean fuel rails. The greatest advancement granted by the new Mustang platform is its ability to corner and handle any track with its Racecraft Suspension.  The 5-speed manual drives a tall 3.55 rear end that makes for super responsive wheel spin and alarming acceleration. The modified exhaust system incorporates Saleen's vacuum-actuated mufflers into custom, 2.5 inch stainless pipes. Put all this on top of high-performance Dunlop Tires (275/35ZR20) racked on Saleen's 7-spoke chome alloy wheels (9" in Front/10" in Back) and this coupe is an absolute delight to drive!

Inside, you'll find the leather sport seats a nice surprise as you gaze at the 200 MPH speedometer and Ford's "my color" instrument panel.  Crank up the Shaker 500 stereo with in-dash 6 CD changer and enjoy all the normal luxuries you'd expect in a high dollar muscle car including: cruise control, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, a power driver's seat, and remote keyless entry that's complete with built in theft deterrent software. It's always hard to describe a car that is essentially new in every way. So I'll just sum this Mustang up by saying that everything, from its ice cold air conditioning to its Saleen-branded steering wheel, is in impeccable working order.

I respond quick to emails and will send additional information and pictures if requested.

2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.

Ford continues autonomous tech development

Sat, Jun 27 2015

Some of the autonomous-driving features that Ford offers in Europe will come to the United States as soon as next year. The Blue Oval will add the pre-collision assist and pedestrian detection technologies that it has already installed on the Mondeo sedan in Europe. Those features, part of what Ford calls the "second of three phases" in driverless technology, will be brought stateside in a yet-to-be disclosed model, while most of Ford's US vehicle line will have the features by 2019. It has been testing an automated Fusion for more than a year. Ford is looking to build upon the autonomous-vehicle technology that it already has on models such as the Fusion, Taurus, F-150, Edge, and Explorer. Those amenities include active-park assist, lane-departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring. Ford said early last year that it was working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University to develop algorithms for use in driverless cars. The effort is part of Ford's so-called "Blueprint for Mobility" geared toward autonomous driving features that are being developed over the next decade. FORD COLLABORATES WITH SILICON VALLEY INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM ON AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES, 3D PRINTING, WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY Autonomous vehicle technology is another step closer to production at Ford – moving from a research effort to an advanced engineering project Ford announces it is working with Silicon Valley-based 3D-printing firm Carbon3D to quickly produce high-quality automotive-grade parts Ford kicks off wearable technology development with MyFord® Mobile app extension – coming soon to smartwatches including Android Wear – providing customers the ability to check vehicle driving range, battery charge and more for their plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle quickly from their wrists Autonomous vehicle technology is another step closer to production at Ford, moving from a research effort to an advanced engineering program, the company announced today. Ford has appointed a director of autonomous vehicle development – 29-year Ford veteran Randy Visintainer – and created a global team to work on the advanced program. Ford Research and Innovation Center Palo Alto is working on the global Ford team to deliver the Ford Smart Mobility plan, which aims to take the company to the next level in connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, the customer experience and big data.

Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.
