Saleens have a nice options list and a hand-crafting facility, and so ordering one from them is always a small batch affair. In fact, this one is #242 of a 400 limited production. But it's more than just uniqueness that attracted you to this one. The deep red paint has a deep modern clearcoat, so it has an impressive hard shine – exactly what you want in a sunshine-friendly droptop like this. And the overall presentation is anything but subtle thanks to the swoopy Saleen bodywork. This includes a new front fascia, lower rocker moldings, integrated rear wing, and a special rear bumper. Even the details are aggressive like the gills ahead of the front wheels and the Saleen graphics package. Plus, those special high chrome 18-inch alloys might just draw in the crowds all on their own. Check out the front bumper just ahead of the driver's side headlight and you'll note it tells everyone this is serial number 242 – that's a great Saleen hallmark.

We know you'll love showing off that bracing bar that adds strength and speedy style.

There's leather bucket seats upgraded with Saleen embroidery. And because this one has averaged less than 1,100 miles annually, they look fantastic from seeing very have seen very little seat time. The rear seats have seen even less use, because they have spent most of their time under a hard tonneau that gives this unique Mustang the look of a true roadster.
