2007 Ford Mustang

Spectacular Saleen #07-0014. 40,172 miles. Loaded with supercharger, automatic transmission, Speedster package, 20-inch wheels, and more. Nicely documented. A gorgeous Saleen Mustang that s still ferociously fast and surprisingly civilized.

In the world of Mustang tuners, Saleen stands tall, second only to Shelby when it comes to building bespoke Mustangs. In fact, Saleen is the only tuner who managed to get their own VINs assigned to the cars, creating not Ford Mustangs, but Saleen Mustangs, an important distinction. This gorgeous Grabber Orange 2007 Saleen S281 convertible is serial number 07-0014, an early production example with a few noteworthy upgrades and a great pedigree. According to the documentation that accompanies the car, only eight Grabber Orange S281 convertibles were built, making it a rather rare find all by itself. Of course, you can drill down the options and it becomes one-of-one, if that matters, but the important thing is that this car has always been cherished and treated as something special, making it an ideal opportunity for the hobbyist who has always wanted a unique Mustang. The Grabber Orange paint is stunning in person, glowing in the sunlight and just the right shade for a high-performance convertible. Add in the Saleen styling tweaks, which include front and rear fascias, side skirts, hood, and the optional Speedster tonneau and light bar, and you get one of the best-looking Mustangs in recent memory. It remains in outstanding condition throughout and likely has never seen inclement weather or track use. It s superb.

The charcoal leather interior features an equal number of Saleen upgrades, including those super supportive Saleen sport seats. Other details include custom door sills, special gauge faces, a pair of boost and intake temperature gauges on top of the dash, and the light bar behind the front seats. Like the exterior, the interior is in excellent condition with only minor signs of use (the car is approaching its 20th birthday, after all), and everything works like it should. And, of course, you also get all the usual Mustang factory options, including cold A/C, power windows, locks, and mirrors, cruise control, and a powerful Shaker audio system with in-dash CD changer. Looking closely, you ll note Steve Saleen s signature on the dash, and if you install the optional Speedster tonneau over the back seat, you ll find his signature there, too. The black canvas top is power-actuated and stows under either the factory soft tonneau or the Saleen Speedster hard-shell tonneau that gives the car a 2-seater look. The trunk looks unused, and under the deck lid you ll find more signatures from the Saleen team.

The reason Saleens are special is because they re much, much more than just a collection of aftermarket parts. Most of the components in a Saleen are unique and manufactured in-house to create a balanced package that most tuners can t match. Most notably, there s that big honkin supercharger on top of the Mustang s 281 cubic inch 3-valve V8, boosting output to more than 475 horsepower. There s also a custom air intake, cool aluminum hardware and knobs, and the requisite serial number badging, as well as a custom ECU program to make it run and drive like a docile stocker. Your grandmother could drive this car every day and not know that there s nearly 500 horsepower on tap. Or she could stand on it and easily stomp some pretty serious hardware on the street. Either way, the result is extremely impressive. Ford s tough 5-speed automatic transmission is a great choice with the boosted engine, making performance effortless, and we believe there are 4.10 gears on a limited slip in the rear differential. A full Saleen Racecraft suspension plants the Mustang to the road and braking is complements of massive 14-inch front brakes and 4-piston calipers. Those gorgeous 20-inch chrome wheels were optional, and are fitted with 275/35/20 front and 275/40/20 rear Pirelli PZero radials that have lots of life left in them.

Documentation includes photos of the build at Saleen s Irvine, CA facility, delivery at the dealership, magazine articles about the car, and much more.

Exceptionally fast, beautifully finished, and wonderfully preserved, this is an investment-grade Saleen that s ready to enjoy. Thanks to a bulletproof pedigree, its future value is all but guaranteed, and along the way you get to enjoy one of the coolest Mustangs ever produced. Call today!
