This Ford Mustang Saleen S281 coupe is #45 built for 2008 and is powered by a supercharged 4.6-liter V8 paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a 3.73:1 Maxgrip differential. The car is finished in Black Metallic Clearcoat over Dark Charcoal leather, and additional equipment includes Saleen suspension and bodywork, chrome 20” wheels, HID headlights, a water-to-air intercooler, a Brenspeed power package, an adjustable Panhard bar, sport seats, air conditioning, a short-throw shifter, a touchscreen stereo with navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, and a Rockford Fosgate Punch audio system.
The S281 features unique bumper covers, integrated fog lights, an aluminum hood with heat extractors, side skirts, a fixed rear spoiler, dual center-exit exhaust outlets, and Saleen S281 badging. This example is finished in black with optional HID headlights, and a decal on the left front bumper identifies it as #45 built for the model year. The side mirrors are said to be from a 2011 Mustang GT.
Chrome 20″ five-spoke wheels are wrapped in 275/35 front and 315/40 rear Continental tires. The car is equipped with Saleen-specific Racecraft springs and dampers, an adjustable Panhard bar, and a front sway bar. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with Saleen-branded front calipers and GT500 rear rotors.
The cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in Dark Charcoal leather with silver stitching and Saleen-logo embroidery on the backrests. Additional amenities include a power-adjustable driver seat, air conditioning, an MGW short-throw shifter and Saleen shift knob, a serialized dash plaque, Steve Saleen’s autograph on the dash, a Raxiom touchscreen stereo with navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, and a Rockford Fosgate Punch audio system.
A three-spoke multifunction steering wheel from a 2013 GT500 frames a Saleen-branded 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 40k miles.
The 4.6-liter V8 features a Saleen Series VI supercharger, a dual-stage water-to-air intercooler, a 98mm mass airflow sensor, 39 lb/hr fuel injectors, black-painted valve covers, a JLT oil catch can, and Flowmaster mufflers. The seller states that the engine is further modified with a Brenspeed power package, and a hand-held SCT tuner is included in the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a Maxgrip 3.73:1 limited-slip differential.
The Saleen window sticker shows factory colors and equipment as well as a total suggested retail price of $62,534. The seller states the removed factory stereo, side mirrors, and steering wheel are included in the sale.
