Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this rare 2006 Saleen
S281 Mustang GT Convertible. This beauty is one of only 416 Saleen
Mustang convertibles produced for '06 and it boasts a mere 21,462
gently used miles on the odometer! Saleen Mustangs have been prized
by enthusiasts for years not just for the attractive body and
interior designs but also the performance and handling upgrades
that put them in a class all their own. This particular example is
dressed in stunning Windveil Blue paint with accents in black and
chrome. Typical of a Saleen, this car is loaded up with body
modifications that make it look noticeably different than a
run-of-the-mill Mustang. It has a custom front and rear fascia,
molded side skirts and door cladding, integrated front turn
signals, rear center-body panels, a hood with dual heat extractors,
a rear spoiler and endcaps, a rear wing, and a fiberglass tonneau
cover that fits over the rear seat when the top is down. Stylish
accents abound with a "SALEEN" windshield graphic, an "838" decal
on the front fascia (representing it's production sequence number),
"281" and "Supercharged" fender badges, "Saleen" door graphics,
clear glass headlamp covers, and taillight delete covers in the
rear that reduce the traditional 3 lights per side to just 2 per
side. The black Saleen grille that was originally on the car has
been removed and replaced by a chrome grille with thin horizontal
bars that still wears a "Saleen" badge. The same grille material
was also used to fill in the open spaces on the lower portion of
the front fascia - creating a cohesive and unique look that really
makes this car stand out. Looking at some of the more standard
Mustang features you'll see black dual side mirrors, body-color
door handles, faux air intake scoops right behind the doors, and a
flawless black convertible top (power operated, of course). Under
the soft-top you'll find a black halo bar with bright trim that
looks great when the top is down. This whole gorgeous package sits
atop 20" chrome 7-spoke Saleen wheels all wrapped in Pirelli P-zero
tires.
There is further evidence that this is no ordinary Mustang when you
lift the hood. Underneath, in the very clean and organized engine
bay, resides a 4.6 liter 3V V-8 topped with a Saleen Series 6
integrated screw-type supercharger. This powerplant is sure to make
your heart beat faster with 435 hp and 425 ft. lb. of torque - more
than enough power to provide an exhilarating driving experience.
The V-8 is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission that sends
power to a rear axle with 3.55:1 gears. Other notable upgrades
include Saleen Powerflash Calibration, 2 �" performance center
exhaust, and a dual-stage water to air intercooler system. Stopping
power comes courtesy of Saleen's 14" power 4-wheel disc brake
system with slotted rotors up front. Out on the road, this Pony
handles like a champ thanks to Saleen's Racecraft suspension that
includes front and rear springs, front struts, rear shocks, and a
heavy-duty front sway bar.
Open the drivers door to reveal a very stylish and meticulously
maintained black interior. The door panels offer controls for power
windows, locks, and both side mirrors. A "SALEEN" sill plate
welcomes you inside for a seat in one of the comfortable Dark
Charcoal leather sports seats with louvered headrests and Saleen
logos. The drivers seat is power-adjustable while the passengers is
manually operated. The rear seating for two looks just as nice as
the front seats, though not particularly spacious. Between the
front buckets is a center console that features an armrest/storage
box, two cup-holders, an e-brake handle, and the shifter for the
automatic transmission. The crack-free black dash has an added pod
at the top center that houses gauges for boost and air temperature.
The dash has a ribbed silver panel that runs from side to side and
both the gauge bezels and air vents located on it are framed with
bright trim. There is an 8K tachometer, a 200mph speedometer, and
gauges for fuel, volts, temp, and oil. In the center of the dash is
a Shaker 500 AM/FM/6-disc in-dash changer that sounds absolutely
fantastic. Beneath the sound system are easy to use HVAC controls
that offer ice cold A/C and hot heat with a strong fan on demand.
The driver is treated to a leather-wrapped steering wheel with
finger-touch cruise controls and a Saleen logo centercap. The wheel
is on a tilt column that also offers an extra stalk for the
intermittent wiper controls. Ahead of the passenger is a serialized
dash plaque (#838) and a glovebox that contains the original Ford
manual portfolio and a supplemental Saleen owners handbook. Both
front passengers are protected by an airbag system. Underfoot is
flawless black factory carpet topped with black carpeted "281" logo
floormats. Overhead at the top of the windshield are dual
map-lights and a switch to operate the power top. Around back in
the carpeted trunk you'll find a courtesy light, a service spare
with jack, the original black Saleen grille, some new graphic
decals (in case they're ever needed), and the original window
sticker. This Saleen Mustang GT was $62,648 new - over $100,000 in
today's dollars!
If you're a Mustang collector, an enthusiast, or just someone
looking for a cool convertible to cruise around on nice days - this
Saleen is bound to please! It's incredibly fast, loaded with
desirable options, and it's eye-popping good looks will have folks
turning their heads to stare wherever you go! On top of all that it
only has 21K miles and it's just one of only 416 produced! Give our
friendly staff a call and be the lucky one to put this incredible
Pony in your garage.
