For Sale: 2007 Ford Mustang in Hingham, Massachusetts

Only 500 were produced. Zoom Classic Cars presents this extremely limited 2007 Ford Mustang Saleen "Parnelli Jones" Edition (S302-PJ), one of just 500 built for a single model year. Collector-class from the start, these cars were developed as road- and road race-ready machines. This example is #227.The Parnelli Jones Edition is a highly optimized modern tribute to legendary racer Parnelli Jones and his orange Boss 302 Mustang that dominated the SCCA Trans-Am road racing series in 1970. Jones was one of America's most accomplished racing drivers, winning the 1963 Indianapolis 500 and competing across sports cars, Indy cars, sprint cars, midgets, road racing, off-road racing, and stock cars.These 500 tribute cars (cue from his Indy 500 win) combine Saleen engineering with Parnelli Jones-inspired styling and performance. This was not simply a Ford trim package or an appearance option. Each car was strategically reworked by Saleen from front to rear and purpose-built for performance while retaining the classic attitude of Parnelli's original Boss 302.Every Parnelli Jones Edition received era correct Grabber Orange paint with classic Boss 302 black hockey-stick graphics, orange interior accents, a shaker hood with retro hood pins, and Saleen's extensively optimized naturally aspirated 5.0L 302 three-valve V8 rated at 400 horsepower. Additional Saleen upgrades included the suspension, braking system, exhaust, and aggressive front fascia, side skirts, rear fascia, and wing. A center dash panel individually signed by Steve Saleen and Parnelli Jones completes the package.#227This particular example is a low-mileage, one-owner car owned by an avid car enthusiast. It has been garage-kept from new and has never seen rain or snow. The car has been carefully sorted and refined since purchase.There is zero damage or bodywork, the finish remains factory-correct with excellent presentation inside and out. The vehicle has received annual service since new, including regular fluid changes.With only 11,600 actual miles, #227 has had enough road time for its owner to thoughtfully refine the car. One of the most notable upgrades is the replacement of the factory five-speed transmission with a Tremec six-speed and dual-friction clutch-a welcome improvement for both performance and drivability.The Saleen-built naturally aspirated 5.0L 302 three-valve V8 remains the heart of the car, producing 400 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. This was achieved with Saleen engineers stroking the factory 4.6L into a high performance 5.0L 302. Additional specifications include higher compression, a high-RPM valvetrain with ported heads, forged pistons, rods and crankshaft, a lightweight aluminum flywheel, and optimized Saleen PowerFlash tuning.Owner-installed performance upgrades include:• Kooks long-tube headers• Cold-air intake• MagnaFlow exhaust tubes with X-pipe (factory Saleen performance mufflers)• Moroso oil-vapor catch canPower feeds the upgraded Tremec six-speed through a short-throw shifter and into a stout 8.8 -inch rear with 3.73 gearing. #227 drives exactly as you'd expect from a properly sorted Saleen - powerful, predictable, tight, and responsive.Suspension & BrakesThis is not the factory-built 2007 Mustang undercarriage. Consistent with the performance philosophy shared by Saleen and Parnelli Jones, these cars were engineered for serious road and track capability while remaining street able.The foundation is a Saleen custom-style Watts-link rear suspension designed to eliminate side-to-side walk under heavy cornering, complemented by Saleen Racecraft performance springs, shocks, and sway bars front and rear. The result is sharp, balanced handling with excellent road manners.Since new, #227 has also received:• Steeda frame-rail and torque-box braces• Upgraded Bilstein front struts• Upgraded Bilstein rear shocksBraking is equally well sorted, with factory Saleen calipers-refinished in red-paired with upgraded massive 14-inch slotted and vented rotors and performance brake pads.Wheels & TiresThe factory limited-edition staggered 19-inch wheels, measuring 9 inches up front and 10 inches in the rear, have been refinished in black and fitted with:• Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 275/35-ZR19 front• Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 285/35-ZR19 rearAlso included with the sale is an alternate wheel-and-tire package consisting of four staggered 19-inch Mach 1-style wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires in 40-series sizing.

The original factory radio, although non-operational, is included with the sale.Overall #227 is an exceptionally well-presented, road-ready example of one of the rarest modern Mustang variants.
