Happy "eBaying"! Paul R. Wankle. Pres. Classic Cars Ltd. Pleasanton. CA 925-846-1451 OVERVIEW-THIS PARTICULAR 2006 SALEEN MUSTANG At the introduction of this generation of the Saleen Mustang in 2005. Steve Saleen described it as follows: "The new S281 is clean. distinctive and aggressive. It's retro. yet contemporary. And it's got great proportions. But I'm equally proud of the subtlety. refinement and sophistication of the overall design. " This particular 2006 Saleen Mustang has been so meticulously maintained that it is in virtually "As-New" condition. even at 8 years old. It has never seen rain. was always garaged and was detailed after every use. Frankly. it is the nicest example of a high performance vehicle of this vintage that we have ever seen. We have been unable to find even the slightest ding. dent or door ding in the Mustang and the front of the car is free from the "road rash" often seen on cars of this age and newer.

Even at 8 years. it shows and drives as new. It has been driven only 22. 01 miles. less than 3. 00 miles per year.

California. assembly line conforms to EPA and CARB emissions standards and has crash-test certification from NHTSA. The 2006 Saleen utilized the fifth generation Ford Mustang GT as its basis. One of Saleen's offerings was the S281 3-Valve. a car that's more about a distinct look and improved handling than massive power gains. The bodywork transforms. rather than accessorizes the Mustang shape. with a tail cap and rear spoiler treatment that successfully allude to Saleen's S7 supercar. Straked blackout grilles between the taillights and on the rear quarter windows enhance the effect. and in front. the Mustang GT's in-grille driving lights are eliminated. all the better to increase the cooling flow to the radiator. Instead. circular park/turn lights are set in the nose just inboard of the headlights. and a deep chin spoiler replete with the signature Saleen gills finishes off the look. The enormous 20-in. 7-spoke chromed alloy wheels? Can't ignore 'em! The interior showcases Saleen's close ties with Ford and its suppliers. The instrument cluster. for instance. comes straight from Delphi with Saleen graphics and a speedometer scale that extends to 200 mph. Front seats utilize the same frames and bases. but are thoroughly redone to Saleen specs with uniquely stitched leather upholstery. Saleen embroidery and far more aggressive bolstering. Other small touches make for a factory look - Saleen pedal covers and a well-positioned dead pedal. laser-etched aluminum doorsill appliques. black-finish slats on the interior vents and a Saleen logo on the steering wheel. On the mechanical side. the suspension gets a complete makeover. with stiffer. linear-rate springs. thicker anti-roll bars and specially tuned Saleen Racecraft shocks. Powertrain modifications consist of a high-flow air filter element. a set of underdrive pulleys to reduce parasitic losses. a short-shift kit and a unique cat-back exhaust system. with a twist. At low engine load. exhaust exits through the center-mounted oval tips. As more throttle is used. intake manifold vacuum progressively opens up two muffler valves via actuators. thus opening two additional downpipes and giving the S281 a more pronounced bark. The handling. throttle response and sound - a guttural and slightly brassy note - are all improved. "The engine feels snappier. more free to rev. said one reviewer. "And transitions that could be a lot of work in the stock GT were no-brainers in the Saleen. Turn-in was especially quick and satisfying. grip was a centrifuge-worthy 0. 92g. and balance was such that you could beautifully throttle-steer the S281 through the length of our track's sweeper.
