2007 Ford Mustang Saleen Parnelli Jones Limited Edition - 79 Miles
- 1 of 500 Built
Finished in unmistakable Grabber Orange over Ebony and Orange
leather, this 2007 Ford Mustang Saleen Parnelli Jones Edition is
the kind of car that rarely surfaces with this level of
preservation. Showing just 79 miles from new and carrying serial
number 391 of only 500 produced, this one-year-only tribute blends
modern S197 performance with the unmistakable visual cues of the
1970 Boss 302 that made Parnelli Jones a legend. Coming from the
Boyd Collection, retaining its original paint, original window
sticker, and accompanied by a strong set of Saleen documentation,
this is a true collector-grade example of one of the most memorable
limited-production Mustangs of the era.
Exterior
The Parnelli Jones Edition was one of Saleen's most distinctive and
best-executed special editions, and this car presents exactly the
way collectors want to see one. The Grabber Orange finish is bold,
iconic, and perfectly matched to the heritage-inspired black
graphics package. Up front, the special Saleen front fascia gives
the car a far more aggressive appearance than a standard Mustang
GT, while the black hood treatment and functional Shaker-style
aluminum hood scoop immediately call back to the Boss 302 formula.
Along the sides, the black lower striping and 302 graphics tie the
entire package together, and out back the black decklid panel, 1970
replica rear wing, and rear window louvers complete the throwback
look in a way that is unmistakably Saleen. The car also features
the correct billet aluminum fuel door with PJ logo, a detail
enthusiasts know and look for.
The paint appears highly preserved, consistent with the mileage and
collector ownership, and the car received a full ceramic coating in
2025, adding another layer of protection to an already exceptional
survivor.
Wheels & Stance
A huge part of the PJ car's character comes from its proper stance
and wheel design. This example sits on the correct 19-inch
Minilite-inspired aluminum wheels, one of the signature visual
elements of the model. They fill the arches beautifully and give
the car a purposeful vintage Trans-Am flavor without sacrificing
the modern proportions of the S197 chassis. Behind the wheels are
4-wheel disc brakes with slotted front rotors, while the car rides
on Saleen's Racecraft suspension, giving it a more aggressive
posture and sharper road manners than a standard Mustang GT.
Interior
Inside, the cabin is exactly what you want in a limited-production
Saleen: sporty, serialized, and instantly recognizable. The black
leather seats with orange inserts and Saleen-enhanced bolsters look
fantastic against the exterior color and give the interior a custom
feel without losing factory-level fit and finish. The dash carries
the serialized plaque identifying this car as #391 of 500 built, an
important reminder that this was never just a stripe-and-wheel
package. Additional PJ/Saleen touches include the leather-wrapped
steering wheel, aluminum shift knob, and auxiliary Saleen oil
temperature and oil pressure gauges mounted prominently on the
dash. Amenities include Shaker 500 audio, air conditioning, and
cruise control, making the car as usable as it is collectible.
One especially cool detail shown here is the dash signature, which
adds another layer of personality to an already special car.
Engine & Drivetrain
Under the hood is the heart of the Parnelli Jones Edition: a
Saleen-built and tuned 5.0L V8 rated at 400 horsepower and 390
lb-ft of torque. This was far more than a cosmetic upgrade. Saleen
engineered these engines with serious internals, including a forged
steel crankshaft, forged steel connecting rods, forged aluminum
pistons, ported aluminum cylinder heads, and performance camshafts.
It is a properly upgraded, naturally aspirated performance package
with heritage, rarity, and real drivability.
Backing the 5.0L is a 5-speed manual transmission, paired with a
3.73 limited-slip rear differential, a combination that keeps the
car engaging and true to its muscle car inspiration. The car also
features a Saleen performance exhaust, giving it the sound to match
the pedigree.
Steering & Brakes
This PJ Edition benefits from Saleen's suspension and chassis
tuning, which helped separate it from the standard Mustang GT. The
Saleen Racecraft suspension sharpens turn-in, improves body
control, and gives the car a firmer, more athletic feel on the
road. The 4-wheel disc brake setup with slotted front rotors
provides confident stopping power, while the overall chassis
presentation shown underneath speaks to the car's highly preserved
condition and low-mile status.
The Drive
What makes the Parnelli Jones Edition special is that it delivers
more than rarity alone. It has the look of a vintage Boss-inspired
street car, the sound and feel of a properly tuned modern V8
Mustang, and the exclusivity of a true low-production Saleen. With
only 79 miles from new, this example is far beyond just a clean
driver. It is a preserved collector piece that still offers all the
tactile appeal of a manual-transmission performance Mustang. The
Shaker scoop, short-throw feel, race-inspired visuals, and
naturally aspirated 5.0L character come together in a package that
feels raw, focused, and memorable.
For collectors of modern American muscle, specialty Mustangs, or
Saleen production cars, this is an exceptional opportunity to own
one of the best-preserved 2007 Saleen Parnelli Jones Editions you
are likely to find.
