THE STORY
Showing just 586 miles on the odometer, this Ford Mustang Saleen
Parnelli Jones Edition, VIN 07-0392, is a highly original example
of the limited-edition Mustang that Steve Saleen offered as a
tribute to legendary race driver Parnelli Jones. A championship
race driver himself, Saleen respected Jones' talent and career that
included the 1970 Trans-Am championship in a Boss 302 Mustang that
was also Grabber Orange. When Jones asked Saleen to build a one-off
Boss-like version of the 2007 Saleen Mustang, Saleen took the idea
and ran with it to build a limited run of 500 Saleen/Parnelli Jones
Editions, also known as Saleen PJs. Each of those Mustangs came in
Grabber Orange with limited edition graphics and black "302"
hockey-stick stripes to resemble Jones' 1970 Trans-Am Mustang. The
PJ Editions also included a variety of limited edition elements,
like a functional Saleen-design Shaker hood scoop, special front
and rear fascias, a rear spoiler, rear window slats and
Mini-Lite-inspired 19-inch wheels.
Like all Saleen PJs, this Grabber Orange 2007 Mustang GT delivered
to Saleen's Irvine, California, facility where it was stripped and
rebuilt to Saleen specifications. Unlike standard Saleen Mustangs,
the PJ Edition is powered by a hand-built 302 CI modular 3-valve
engine that produces 400 HP and 390 lb-ft of torque, thanks to a
more efficient induction system, ported heads, performance
camshafts, PowerFlash calibration and 2.5-inch exhaust. The
engine's bottom end is also strengthened with forged aluminum
pistons, a forged steel crankshaft and forged connecting rods.
Saleen's Racecraft suspension supplies road-course handling by
adding N2 coil-over struts, larger sway bars and Watts-link, all
aided by Saleen brakes with slotted rotors and 4-piston calipers.
Special PJ interior components include black bucket seats with
orange inserts, a 200 MPH speedometer, a gauge pod, short-throw
shifter, aluminum sill plates and badging.
This particular example is in showroom-fresh condition in all
regards and will not disappoint the most discerning buyers.
Complete with all keys, manuals, custom Boss 302 car cover, this is
one for your collection, Sunday car meets or car shows, or just
driving an incredible piece of automotive high-performance
history.
