July 11-12, 2008: A pair of rare Mustangs . . .
Read MoreFor 2005, three Saleen Mustang models were available. This car is the S281 3-Valve non-supercharged edition and was available as a coupe or convertible. The supercharged version was called the S281 S/C, and was also available as a coupe or convertible. The third model was the S281 E, which stood for "Extreme," and offered 500 hp.
The Ford Mustang was all-new for 2005 with retro styling. Saleen added its own unique body modifications to further distinguish the car. The only interesting thing I see in the photo above is the lack of the Saleen car number that should be on the front bumper. The ID tag under the hood identified this car as a genuine Saleen. My best guess is that the front bumper cover was repainted or replaced at some point, and the number never replaced.
