This 2005 Ford Mustang Saleen S281SC was delivered new to Finish Line Ford in Peoria, Illinois and is one of 232 supercharged Mustang GT-based coupes produced by Saleen for the model year. The car is finished in blue over black leather and powered by a supercharged and intercooled 4.6-liter V8 paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a carbon fiber splitter, hood vents, a rear spoiler, side skirts, 20″ chrome wheels, air conditioning, power accessories, cruise control, and a JVC infotainment system. Recent service has included an oil change and lubrication of the polyurethane suspension bushings.
The car is finished in Sonic Blue with silver accents and features a front fascia with a carbon fiber splitter, a revised front grille, a vented hood, rocker panel extensions, quarter window accents, a rear spoiler, a restyled taillight panel, quarter-panel end caps, and a Saleen-embossed rear fascia with center-exit exhaust tips.
Chrome 20″ seven-spoke wheels wear 275/35 front and 305/35 rear Nitto NT555 tires. The car is equipped with a Racecraft suspension system that includes Saleen-specified shocks, struts, springs, sway bars, and bushings.
The cabin features black leather upholstery with matching door panels and carpets. Saleen logos are present on the steering wheel and the front and rear seats, while Steve Saleen’s signature is featured on the dashboard. Additional equipment includes a power-adjustable driver’s seat, air conditioning, embroidered floormats, cruise control, power accessories, a metal shift knob, metal sill-plate inserts, and an aftermarket JVC infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure. Additional gauges above the center stack monitor boost pressure and intercooler temperature. The digital odometer indicates 22k miles.
The supercharged and intercooled 4.6-liter V8 was rated at 400 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque when new, and power is transferred to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. The radiator cover panel has been signed by Steve Saleen, and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
The window sticker shows factory colors and equipment as well as a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $51,093. Manufacturer’s literature, the removed radio, two key fobs, documentation from Saleen Automotive, and service records will also accompany the car.
