BARN FIND

I call it a barn find because it has basically been sitting in my garages over the years (and even temporarily in a barn). While not perfect, it is close! Completely stock 1989 Saleen 89-0352 with only 52,455 miles that literally drives and functions exactly as it did when I bought it (Numerous items have been replaced over time to keep it in top shape, but every part has always been OEM/FoMoCo/Saleen). My first new car was special-ordered in Austin, TX. Since then it has moved with me to Dallas, San Francisco, Denver and Richmond, VA. It has been driven sparingly over the years and always garaged. I love it and always will, but I simply don’t use it like I should. I truly want someone who loves these cars to have it and enjoy it on a more frequent basis. For those that love Saleens, you will be blown away by all of the documents that I have from back in 1988 (year it was purchased). I have all the brochures, the window stickers, every document provided by Saleen and Ford. It has been fun to relive the memories and will be fun for the right buyer to have this for the future.

THE GOOD

As you can see in the pictures, the car is gorgeous. It is not a trailer queen, but you would be hard pressed to find a more beautiful representation of a fox-body Saleen that has actually been driven. Interior is truly a flawless 10/10. The car drives and shifts perfectly and the AC blows ice cold. It is a lot of fun to drive and draws constant accolades from anyone that sees it.

89-0352 Saleen Mustang

THE BAD

The exterior is an 8/10 mainly due to spider-webbing in the ground effects. This is from the only accident this car was ever in back in 1991, and it was self-induced! We forgot to set the parking brake on our manually-equipped Explorer and later found that the Explorer had rolled down the driveway right into the front of the Saleen. Not a good day :)! If you want it as a daily driver, I wouldn’t change anything. If you want it as a show car that can be driven, then you will want to purchase a replacement ground effects kit ($689 on LMR.com). The only other major blemish is a small area above the left rear wheel well that was rubbed off while the car was being “professionally” moved from CO to VA. Other minor issues are the standard fox-body issues, like the black window moldings around the rear triangle Windows which simply fade over time no matter what you do!

I would happily answer any questions about the car and will provide all of the original documentation with the sale. While the money is important, I truly want to find the right home for this 28 year old time capsule. If you would like other pictures or videos, let me know and I will gladly provide. Anyone is welcome to setup time to come drive it. You won’t be disappointed.

96-0032S S351 Speedster
96-0032S S351 Speedster

Since the 1980s, Steve Saleen has been THE source for Mustang owners wanting to get the most out of their pony cars. Saleen’s successful racing programs in SCCA and IMSA road racing filtered down into his road cars. Saleen Mustangs are sought after for their handling prowess, increased horsepower and distinctive good looks. Quite often, Saleen cars that appear on the market are made up from aftermarket components and aren’t genuine factory built examples. We are offering this genuine, fully documented, factory-built 1996 S351 Speedster with just over 9,000 miles from new.

According to the Saleen Registry, this car, number 96-0032, is one of just 10 S351 Speedsters built in 1996 and one of 3 finished in Rio Red and is one of one with these exact options and colors. It was originally built for the CEO of a company that sponsored Saleen’s racing efforts in the 1990s and it was a fully-loaded show piece. Equipment includes the base S-351 package, T-Code (Recaro Interior, Alcon Brakes), 3.55:1 Gears, Saleen Sound System, Speedster Package and a Wheel/Tire upgrade.

In addition to those options, an additional $3,700 in 1997 Prototype additions were fitted. This included a six-speed gearbox, Auburn limited slip differential, Koni suspension, Racecraft rear lower control arms, aluminum front bushings, and Pro short throw shifter. The combined packages and options totaled $36,249 – and that doesn’t include the cost of the base Mustang!

96-0032S S351 Speedster
96-0032S S351 Speedster

The clean Carfax report verifies just two owners from new, the original owner keeping the car for fourteen years, while the second owner kept the car stored in a climate controlled garage during his tenure. The car presents in very good overall condition showing no signs of crash damage or repairs. The Rio Red paint is in very good order, with a few stone chips apparent, mainly on the front bumper, but overall it presents well excellent gloss. Panel fit is good and the special Saleen graphics are in similarly good condition. The polished wheels are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires and are in excellent condition.

Inside, the Recaro seats are embroidered with Saleen logos and trimmed in leather. The leather is in good condition, with some slight wear showing on the driver’s outer bolster. The rest of the interior trim is excellent and all electrical functions work as they should. The original Saleen audio system has been upgraded to a Kenwood Excelon series receiver and Memphis Audio amplifier. The original radio is included. The original power soft top has a heated glass window and is in excellent order, operating smoothly.

On the road, the Saleen shines. The Koni suspension is aggressive but not harsh and the bespoke Saleen Racecraft suspension parts work to make this car handle exceptionally well. Grip is phenomenal thanks to the Auburn limited slip. The six speed transmission takes a firm hand and the shifts are positive, with well-spaced ratios. With just over 9,000 miles from new the car feels tight and fresh. This factory-built Saleen S351 has all the makings of a future classic – rarity, great looks and outstanding performance.

Sale includes fitted cover, original books, Saleen invoices, Speedster tonneau, soft tonneau, cockpit cover, original radio, two original keys and fobs.

You are looking at a nearly flawless example of the Foxbody Saleen. With 37,900 miles, this car has been meticulously taken care of. I am the second owner. I purchased the car to be a driver, and while I have driven it, it shows like a 10,000 mile car. The car is not 100% factory stock. The prior owner changed out the stereo system, installed a radar detection system, an auto alarm, subframe connectors, and a Magnaflow exhaust. I did not like the exhaust system, so I installed an SLP Loudmouth system and love the sound. Approximately 1,000 miles ago, I also had professionally installed a Kenne-Bell Blowzilla system. My instructions to Brads Custom Auto was for the car to be 100% reliable. With the custom tune they developed, the car put down 280 horsepower to the rear wheels. I have all of the pieces and parts to restore the car back to it’s prior induction condition. I would give the black/grey interior with grey cloth original Flofit seats a 10/10 for condition. I would give the exterior a 9/10 for condition. There are a few very small paint chips on the front bumper. The paint has a dime size crack on the rear deck, and the Saleen striping package has a small (less than 1/4″) scratch on the passenger side.

I am happy to take any pictures that a serious buyer would like to see. Buyer will be responsible for arranging shipping and all shipping cost. I will provide reasonable assistance in delivering the car for transport. I have used Thomas Sunday Auto Transport in the past.

This is an incredibly beautiful car in near perfect condition. I am well known in the Mustang circles in the Seattle, WA area. Feel free to talk to Brad Seibold, the owner of Brad’s Custom Auto about the condition of this car or any of my cars. You will not be disappointed.
