1989 Ford Mustang

In the long and storied history of the Ford Mustang, there have been quite a few specialty models collectors tend to seek out. With that said, the name Saleen has come to elicit a level of excitement from both onlookers and enthusiasts, and for good reason. One look at this 1989 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 Convertible Supercharged we have for you today, with its full body kit and unique rear spoiler, and youll understand why. Originally black, this car was fully repainted in this Saleen-specific Canary Yellow, still bearing the same side stripes, Racecraft, and #154 decals it came with from its eponymous production facility.

Inside, the pewter/grey interior is a welcomed upgrade over the stock Mustang. A set of form-fitting Recaro-style FloFit sport seats hold both driver and passenger in place for any hot laps that might be on the horizon, while a 170-mph speedometer and Momo steering wheel provide plenty of feedback. And if the Saleen dash plaque isnt enough to convince passengers that this is no ordinary pony car, one blip of the throttle should leave no more doubts.

Under the hood, we find a glorious rendition of Fords fabled 5.0. In a naturally aspirated factory Saleen spec, this 302 cubic-inch V-8 pumps out 292 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, but this particular car boasts a Paxton supercharger bolted to its intake manifold, undoubtedly allowing this small block to produce big-block levels of power. All those ponies are channeled through a Tremec T5 five-speed manual transmission before heading out to the Ford 8.8-inch rear that transfers them to a trick set of 16-inch Saleen wheels wrapped in 225/50ZR-16 rubber.
