2000 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 SC

Description

A Saleen Mustang is always a beautiful sight to performance car fans, because this specialty house knows how to build them correctly. So the appeal here is not just that you found a 365 horsepower 2000 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 SC, but also you discovered a well-preserved example that hasn't even hit the fifth whole digit on the odometer.

Saleens were essentially bespoke cars: tell them what options you want and you get a custom-built Mustang a few weeks later. In the case of this S281SC, they got the look just right. The factory Silver Metallic is a sophisticated hue that radiates when the sunshine hits its clearcoat finish, which is perfect for a coupe like this. After all, it's got a ton to show off thanks to all the exterior upgrades. This includes a new front fascia, lower rocker moldings, integrated rear wing, and a special rear bumper. And even the details are aggressive like the gills in the quarter panels, Saleen graphics, and the deeply sculpted heat extractor hood. Check out the front bumper just ahead of the driver's side headlight and you'll note that this one is serial number 331, a great Saleen hallmark that reminds you this is a custom build. And it all looks terrific, because this coupe has averaged less than 500 miles annually - further proof that this has been a carefully kept modern classic since day one.

The Mustang was already built to be a driver's machine, and so the interior is prefect for a car like this. Low mileage means little seat time in the supportive leather bucket seats. And while this one already is quite pristine, they also made some nice recent investments in details, like the floor mats, cup holder insert, and door panels to really keep this feeling like a premium machine. And speaking of premium, you have all the best features, like power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, cruise control, dual airbags, ABS, power steering, the factory premium AM/FM/CD cassette stereo, and cold-blowing air conditioning. It's easy to get comfortable with a power seat and tilt steering wheel. There are special Saleen white-faced gauges in front of you. Plus, the Mustang's dual cowl dash was given an extra hump to integrate some very handy auxiliary readouts.

The "SC" in this car's designation is quite significant. It took the original 4.6-liter fuel injected V8 and added a Saleen supercharger on top. This is a full performance package that also includes a K&N series 57 cold air intake, Ford Performance 90mm mass air sensor, BBK 75mm throttle body, Steeda 2.81 pulley, Sean Hyland MAFterburner tune to control it all. This full package is rated at 365 horsepower, and all the fluid were recently flushed to keep this modern classic a true contender. The five-speed manual transmission gives you full control over this powerful package, and the four-wheel disc brakes give superior stopping power. The suspension is also done right with a new Eibach Pro-Damper kit with lowering springs, and new Michelin Pilot Sport tires on the Saleen 18-inch polished alloy wheels.

The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, warranty card, owner's manual, and maintenance records. There were less than 1,000 Saleens produced during this year, and this is a well-preserved example of a rare specialty-built speed machine. So you know how fast you have to act to get it in your driveway. Call today!!!
