2006 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 Extreme

Description

Steve Saleen always knew how to get the most out of the Mustang's style and performance. This 2006 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 Extreme is aggressive and elegant in its full racecar red package. And there's specially-built supercharged V8 performance to back it up the speedy appearance.

While this car started life as a Mustang, once Saleen gets hold of it, barely the silhouette is even the same. This one is It's anything but subtle with a mean first impression that comes from a custom front end with Eleanor-inspired integrated fog lights and a bumper that looks like it's borrowed from the S1 supercar. And there's a performance hood with a power bulge flanked by two large vent ports for the big power underneath. This performance attitude continues as you follow the rest of the swoopy bodywork. It includes wide fender flares, lower rocker moldings, side air intakes, and large rear wing. In fact, the whole rear end is a custom piece including extended overhangs, custom bumper, and a center exit exhaust. The Redfire is a special order paint that has been treated with the proper respect, and it also is a great backdrop for this car's dark side. The blacked-out grille, matching rear panel, rear window slats, and large 20-inch KMC wheels add to this coupe's intimidation. There's even a cool black graphic in the doors that announce the Extreme's 575 hp superiority.

Inside, this modern custom classic gives you all the convenience of a loaded Mustang. There's a long list of features like power windows, power driver's seat, cruise control, power locks, power mirrors, dual airbags, premium Shaker AM/FM/CD stereo, and cold-blowing air conditioning. You even get the ultra-desirable full glass roof option. But what you'll really love are all the Saleen-specific touches. For example, those premium leather seats look race-ready. The same goes for the full gauge package, including the ones added to the top of the dash. The shifter even comes with a switch to lock the front brakes if you want a little burnout hijinks.

The "Extreme" in this car's designation is quite significant. It took the supercharged 4.6-liter SC version and added more boost. The motor can handle it, because Saleen builds the V8 with strong forged internals. In fact, this one has gone beyond the standard 550 horsepower Saleen Extreme and has been upgraded to a supreme 575 hp! Linked to a sweet-shifting six-speed that's stout enough to handle all the extra power, the true fun of this Mustang is always in your hands. Plus, the Extreme was the top pony in the Saleen stable, and so was born with all the best suspension upgrades. And this has been correctly maintained since then, including new sway bars in 2016 and new clutch master cylinder in 2017. Combine this with Nitto NTSSS G2 rubber and massive four-piston 14-inch four-wheel disc brakes to give it the kind of stopping power to rival far more expensive exotics.

Complete with the window sicker, maintenance records, service manual, and owner's manual, you're looking at a rare opportunity for something quite unique and speedy. So don't let this Saleen slip away, call today!
