1990 HATCHBACK (90-0190) OFFERED ON eBay

1990 Saleen Mustang, black with 79k miles #190

The car is bone stock with the exception of a catted Magnaflow x-pipe and Magnaflow cat-back installed because the original was rotting out. It still all the original Saleen suspension pieces. I have owned the car for about 4 years–all paint appears to be original to me, all VIN tags are on the different pieces of sheet metal as they should be.

It runs, drives, and rides(A 25 yr. old Saleen is not very smooth) as it should.

Interior:
Very nice condition, no rips or tears and original material seats are near flawless. Not much to say about interior except it is very nice.

Exterior:
It shows very well, there are normal rock chips and scratches expected in a 25 yr. old car with 79k miles–but overall= very nice. I can’t think of anything I would need to highlight.

Drivetrain:
It is stock except for exhaust, not very fast, but runs good. I just did a fresh oil change, I haven’t driven it very much but time is why I changed it so it would be fresh for a new owner.

Stereo:
I had planned to do old skool style stereo in the car. it is about 85% complete but I ran out vigor to finish it. I spent the proper money to convert it to a 3g alt. for the stereo, there is a New Alpine head unit with remote. All six speakers in stock locations are new. ALL power wires, rca cables and speaker wiring is ran to the back of the car and would very easy to finish and be very nice. I cut no wiring, ran all new speaker wires from factory locations. It currently doesn’t sound very good because the speakers are wired to the radio power until I completed the installation, so it’s only like 18 watts/channel split over 6 speakers.

The bad:
* “Airbag” light is on–never bothered me–probably pull the bulb if it bothers you.
* Previous owner cut the center dash to put a center channel speaker–very nice looking cut but it is there.
* Under full acceleration it grinds going into second gear. It never bothered me because that is not the way I drive it. It has clutch adjustability–may be able to adjust it out.

Fresh coolant flush/fill with water wetter, new water pump and fresh oil change.

I am in Wilmington NC, if you have any questions please ask– I hate mis-understandings and would rather just tell the truth about any questions someone has.

It currently has real Saleen Speedline rims on it, the factory five star’s with brand new tires also come with the car.

price is $13,500, I feel like that is a fair price for both parties, I may be open to offers but that is close. Free clean title and Saleen documentation. Farthest thing from a “need to sell” there is–just bored and ready to move on.

I may be able to deliver close by or I could help with a delivery service–all this HAS to be approved by me before hand. Car is listed several other places, so I reserve the right to pull listing if the car sells elsewhere.

Not a kit, not an aftermarket upgrade… Saleen S-281SC #02-603 Supercharged Speedster Convertible w/ 18×10″ rear wheel/tire upgrade, Mach 1000 audio system w/ in-dash 6-disc changer, etc… Saleen VIN 1FAFP45X12F194949.

This is the only “white-out” supercharged speedster (white paint, white wheels, white top, white seats) manufactured in a span of 3-5 years. It’s been awhile but yes, I’ve literally gone through every VIN in “The Saleen Book”, which covered every Saleen produced until 2003, and the last one made prior to this was made in something like 1998 or 99. That was also the more rounded body style, nowhere near as cool. I didn’t know this when I was first shopping, so I just got very lucky “holding out” for this look, not realizing it was so rare, and then stumbling across it at the right moment.

02-0603 S281 SC Speedster
02-0603 S281 SC Speedster

I’m the 2nd owner (owned since 2004, purchased on Ebay via a California dealer, actually), still low miles and immaculate. Garage kept and kept covered. Even the typical minor (if you’re lucky) road rash is not present here thanks to recent professional repainting of the body kit and rear bumper after scraping the back bumper on a ridiculously tall curb. *Noticed the title check says 3 owners – I’m the 2nd and 3rd as far as title is concerned -having registered the car in both CA and OK over the years. (For those concerned, this car has never has been exposed to any sort of inclement weather, salt, sand, etc.) Only a few thousand miles on the tires, if even that.

Saleen upgraded the supercharger in late 2005 after it started making a weird noise. They blamed this on the original owner improperly installing a pulley upgrade on the supercharger spindle. Basically they claimed he hammered it on and bent the spindle in the process. Either way, it resulted in getting a brand new and updated supercharger. The only issue I’m aware of with this car is that said supercharger upgrade slightly changed the run length of the cruise control cable, and I never got that replaced. Other than that, this thing is crazy clean and running perfectly.

Hate to let her go as this is seriously my favorite Mustang that’s ever been made, but finances force me to sell. Original window sticker and current (7/10/15) NADA valuation included in pics… $51,600 new, vs. an NADA valuation based on $43,299. Please note I never had the “speedster” rear seat cowl, as it wasn’t with the car when purchased, and that the quotes also do not include the speedster cover, or the low mileage, nearly 100k miles under a typical 02 model’s daily-driver mileage. Unfortunately you don’t get to get very specific, thus the wide value range shown in the NADA estimate.

$500 non-refundable deposit due immediately at close of listing. Balance due within 7 days via cashier’s check or personal check. Vehicle will be released to shipping agent once payment is cleared. If you don’t have a vehicle transport company in mind I can refer you to one I’ve used a couple times without incident. Thanks for checking out my listing.

Chances are if you are looking at this add then you know what this car is but for the benefit of those that do not this car is one of 160 built. The first model Saleen modified the engine performance on. it is a two seater with a factory roll bar and Pioneer sound system. This car is a great unmolested original. it does have an offroad H-pipe because the original cats went bad. It is a true 29K mile car. The original cockpit adjustable suspension is still in place. un-cracked DP5 wheels. The car has spent sometime outside as the original owner’s wife drove the car to work daily. the side stripes are discolored from the sun, the rear carpet is faded, and the rear quarter window moldings need to be refurbished. It needs a battery, rear shock bushingsOverall the car is in good shape just needs some TLC

This Saleen Mustang SSC(the 25th Anniversary Mustang that Ford never made) is number 44 of 161 produced in 1989. It carried a $36,500 sticker price which was rather significant, considering the 5.0L LX sold for $15,000. The Saleen SSC had a top speed in the neighborhood of 156 MPH and were fitted with a 4-point roll bar with rear seat delete. They had electronic cockpit ajustible struts and shocks, 200 watt Pioneer sound system, leather interior and special DP5 wheels.

The car does need a few things power door lock actuator on the drivers side, fuel sending unit, rear shock bushings. The original cockpit adjustable suspension is still in the car. I am the third owner of the car and have owned it since 1997, the majority of that time it has spent sitting in the garage, it has not been registered in probably the last 12 years. This car is in original condition needs a little tlc but is a great low mileage all original car.

My loss is your gain!! For sale is the first year run of the Ultimate Bad Boy Mustangs. This vehicle was commissioned by Tim Porter and built by Saleen for the promotion of the 2007 Great American Run. a 3,000 mile cross country road race. Originally 25 cars were slated to be built, but the actual production numbers were 9. 8 black cars and 1 red. This vehicle was raced in the event under the name of “Half Evil Racing” car #333. It is featured in the documentary film “The Great American Run”, by National Lampoon. These cars RARELY come up on the market so don’t miss your chance to own a limited production collector’s dream. Car has 22,000 miles, garaged, and driven once a month. The only flaws are small area of scuffing on clear bra from chunk of tire thrown up by vehicle that can be buffed out or bra replaced, small tear in the shift boot, few chips on painted wheels, and new front carbon splitter due to old one being cracked when I purchased the vehicle. Clutch is beginning to slip, but car is fully functional. This vehicle is listed WELL below NADA retail and can be easily researched to verify.
