Vehicle Description
This 1989 Saleen Mustang time capsule is #178 with only 661 actual
miles (mileage not indicated on the title). It's offered by Gas
Monkey Garage. Ford didn't do a 25th Anniversary Mustang, but Steve
Saleen did, introducing his SSC on April 17, 1989. Based in
California, Saleen was a veteran SCCA Trans-Am and Formula Atlantic
racer. Saleen owned several Shelby Mustangs and decided to follow
in Shelby's footsteps and make stock Mustangs into personal
high-performance cars. The result was a limited-edition run of
specially modified 5.0-liter V8 Mustangs that are instantly
recognizable by special paint, graphics and interior combinations
that any high-performance automotive enthusiast will appreciate.
Engine, suspension, exhaust and brake upgrades are enjoyed by only
a handful of lucky owners that get to experience these cars
first-hand. This particular example, serial #00178, has been
meticulously cared for in a private collection and is only now
offered for sale, having been stored in a climate-controlled
environment for the past 27 years. 5-speed manual transmission.
