Gateway Classic Cars of Philadelphia is excited to showcase a truly remarkable piece of automotive history: a 2006 Ford Mustang Saleen. This particular model features a sleek gray exterior paired with a luxurious black leather interior, embodying both style and performance. Under the hood lies a powerful 4.6 Liter Supercharged V8 engine, paired with a manual transmission, offering an exhilarating driving experience.
This Saleen Mustang is not just any Mustang; it is one of only 29 Saleen S281 Extreme convertibles produced in 2006. Adding to its exclusivity, the vehicle is signed by Steve Saleen himself on the dash and other areas, with photos provided to authenticate these signatures. The heart of this machine is a 4.6L 3V SOHC V-8 motor, enhanced by the Saleen series IV integrated twin screw supercharger. This setup includes a dual-stage water to air intercooler, allowing the engine to produce an impressive 550bhp at 6000 RPM and 500lb-ft of torque at 4800 RPM. The engine's bore and stroke measure 3.55" x 3.54", and it features all forged Saleen steel crankshaft, forged steel rods, and forged aluminum pistons, ensuring durability and performance.
The vehicle also boasts a stainless 2.5" variable flow performance exhaust system, contributing to its distinctive sound and performance. All Saleen-specific factory components are present, ensuring this car remains true to its heritage. The 6-speed manual quick ratio transmission is equipped with a high-performance clutch and lightweight flywheel, channeling power through a balanced aluminum driveshaft into an 8.8" limited slip rear differential with 3:55 gears.
Braking performance is equally impressive, featuring slotted and vented disc brakes with 6-piston calipers, providing the stopping power needed for such a high-performance vehicle. This Saleen Extreme is number 22 out of 154 produced, and it showcases all the custom modifications that Saleen is known for, from the exterior design to the interior details.
In addition to its performance features, this Mustang is equipped with modern conveniences such as air conditioning, aluminum wheels, an AM/FM radio, anti-lock brakes, a CD player, and an automatic convertible top. It also includes cruise control, driver and passenger airbags, power brakes, power locks, power seats, power steering, power windows, radial tires, seatbelts, and a tilt steering wheel. This combination of performance and comfort makes this 2006 Ford Mustang Saleen a truly exceptional vehicle.
