Ronnie Craig 319-366-7600 250 Classic Car Court SW Cedar Rapids Iowa 52404 2006 Ford Mustang GT Vehicle Information VIN: 1ZVFT82H865160798 Stock: C9045 Mileage: 16. 30 Color: Legend Lime Clearcoat Metallic Trans: Manual 5-Speed Engine: 4. 6L V8 MPG: 17 City / 25 Highway Drivetrain: RWD Description 2006 Ford Saleen S281 #519 Mustangs are all about being special. The first Mustangs were a flood of options. from economy-car powertrains to musclecar excesses and Rally Pacs to tissue dispensers. Carroll Shelby upped the ante with his line of limited-issue Mustangs. and all told. for the last four decades. it is a rare person who hasn't been able to find their own unique happiness in a Mustang. For your own place in the sun. here is the most special of Mustangs. the Saleen. Built. certified. and serial numbered by Saleen with the company's own blend of performance. comfort. and styling options. these are the last word in Mustang exclusivity. The base price was $42. 81 for the coupe. the 3V is the basic Saleen Mustang. Starting with a Mustang GT. Saleen rebuilt it. improving every aspect of the car. Starting underhood. the 4. 6L engine-management computer has a Saleen Powerflash recalibration. Saleen center-exit exhaust. Saleen underdrive pulleys. and a harmonic damper to arrive at Saleen's 330hp rating. The transmission remained stock other than Saleen's short-throw shifter. manual transmission 3Vs were fitted with 3. 73 final drive gears in the 8. 8-inch rear axle; automatic car uses 3. 31 gears. Ford's standard GT brakes supply enough whoa for the 3V Saleen's go. but this one is fitted with the $2. 55 S281 14-inch front brakes as an option for those wanting to fill up the 20-inch wheels. The suspension is definitely not Ford. A set of higher-rate gas struts. linear-rate coil springs. and tubular sway bars are grouped under Saleen's Racecraft name. Dunlop Sport tires. size P275/35ZR-20. on satin-finished Saleen 20x9-inch forged-aluminum wheels are standard. and a Pirelli P-Zero Rosso upgrade on chrome wheels is an option for an estimated $2. 00. The Pirelli upgrade also includes 20x10-inch rear wheels wearing P275/40ZR-20 tires. They take the tires right to the edge of the fenders. so there are no unsightly gaps. Inside. Saleen makes the Ford interior its own with leather upholstery and plenty of Saleen signage. A six-way power driver's seat with adjustable lumbar support is on hand. and Saleen employed the MyColor feature allowing custom instrument colors on the main cluster. which has Saleen calibrations and faces. as well as a 200-mph speedometer. Saleen bucked the now-tiresome white-faced instrument trend. instead using handsome black backgrounds. Other Saleen interior bits are floor mats. a steering-wheel badge. some rather businesslike pedal pads. a clean sill plate. and an aluminum shift knob. Of course all the usual power windows. locks. and other GT items are on hand. Ford's GT sound system continues as standard with the optional Shaker 500 system that is enhanced with an aftermarket sub-woofer set up with amp and separate controller under the dash. But for all that. it's outside where Saleen's capabilities are fully brought to bear. Both the front and rear were totally redesigned. so the roof. doors. fenders. and cowl are the only stock Ford bodywork. Easily the most integrated and cohesively styled Saleen Mustang in Saleen's two decades. the S281 line is aggressively handsome. There is excellent fit and finish when scoping out one of these cars. too. The most popular of exterior noted treatments is Saleen's own high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights. both high- and low-beam. Our car has this $1. 80 option. which really sets off the front end. This one is finished in Legend Lime with the Charcoal Leather interior. a tribute to the days of Mustangs earthier tones. and is one of only two bedecked in this color combination. This fine example is showing only 16. XX miles and looks like it just left the showroom last week. It includes a copy of the original Saleen window sticker. which registers an even $50k for this rare and fun Stang. along with the letter to the original owner. If you're looking for some modern muscle fun and the comforts of home this one is for you Features
