Vehicle Description
In the 1980s, fun American sports cars were making a comeback and
the car at the forefront of that movement were ones like this 1986
Ford Mustang Saleen. With its dynamic styling, enhanced handling
abilities, and a potent fuel-injected V8 power-plant under its
hood, you may never find a specialty-built speed machine that's so
affordable ever again.
The Mustang GT was already a great looking car in 1986, but this
one enhances all the best elements. The factory-correct Bright Red
has a fine luster today that helps highlight the added curves of
Saleen's Autosport body kit, including front air dam and side
skirts. It also looks great against the special triple gray stripe
package that came with these upgraded pony cars. While the Saleen
and Ford Motorsport badging all around the car help people to
identify this as a truly special coupe, everyone can already tell
this is a high performance Ford. Whether they see the special
sealed headlamps, the large rear spoiler, or the special 17-inch
Saleen Speedline wheels, this coupe makes a bold first impression
from every angle.
The ultra-supportive buckets look like they were straight out of
the SVO program, and they feature grippy fabric inserts framed by
red piping to give it a truly racy look. There's no notable wear,
even on the side bolsters in this survivor-grade coupe. If fact,
the carpeting, door panels, dash, headliner, and center console all
don't reveal this classic's true age. This is a special Mustang,
and so it came loaded with power windows, power locks, tilt wheel,
and there's even been an upgrade to an AM/FM/CD stereo with aux
input for modern music players. You even stay comfortable in
ice-cold R134a air conditioning. But you know this was built for
more than just luxury when you grab the three-spoke Momo steering
wheel with your left hand and the Hurst shifter with your right
one. And of course, there's plenty of Saleen badging on the special
speedo/tach package, glovebox, and an individually numbered plaque
on the center console. By the way, this one is number 85 in case
you were wondering.
Under the hood is some serious performance. It starts with a DSS
306 short block rebuilt with new bearings and rings. This
fuel-injected V8 has a host of other go-fast goodies such as World
Products Windsor Jr. iron heads, Comp Cams roller rockers, Comp
Cams 270 Extreme Energy cam, and TMoss ported intake. There's a lot
more to this power house (call for all the details,) but we had to
stop there because this is far more than just a monster motor. You
get complete control over the V8 thanks to a Ford Racing Z-spec
five-speed manual transmission. You'll love the sound every down
shift makes as the Hedman header fed BBK dual exhaust howls with
power. And you can do all of this with confidence thanks to the
Ford Racing rear end with 3.73 gears. Also take some time to look
at the undercarriage photos. We're not just telling you this
because how clean the car is, but also because of all the great
upgrades Saleen provides. This includes a subframe connector,
H&R race springs, Ford Racing control arms, and Koni shocks &
struts (including a quad pack in the rear.) Add in great anytime
features such as power steering and four-wheel disc brakes, and
this is a truly unbeatable package.
