FIRST YEAR S351 (94-0014) OFFERED FOR SALE

September 14, 2018 David Bruno

The wild and crazy Saleen S351 Mustang. With all of the press and excitement during the 1994 model year that surrounded this new model from Saleen Performance, few realized the 351 powered SN-95 Mustang from Saleen was a slow start to reality.

For the 1994 model year Saleen produced 46 S351 Mustangs; 44 were “normal” S351 models while 2 were SR editions. Of the 44 non-SR models, 32 were produced on the coupe body style. Of those 32, 9 were painted in Black exterior paint. If we examine those 9 vehicles, 7 featured Black interior plastics from Ford. Of those 7, 5 were not equipped with the optional supercharger package. Of those 5 vehicles, 4 had the standard cloth Saleen/Recaro seating. Of these 4, 1 had the optional Saleen 2-Point Roll Bar. 94-0014 is that car.

If we view 1994 S351 production in detail, it appears 94-0014 was the first Black painted coupe produced by Saleen Performance; two Black convertibles were produced before 94-0014. It also appears 94-0014 may have been the eighth 1994 serialized production car produced by Saleen Performance.

While viewing 94-0014 in its current state, we notice the front bumper cover serial number decals are an incorrect typeface and the silver side chevrons are not the “reverse fade” version commonly seen on 1994-95 Saleen Mustangs. We suspect previous paintwork. One cool early production element are the pre-machine gun exhaust pipes with Fox-era Saleen SC tail extensions. -DB

– One of only 201 cars in 1986
– Bright red/gold graphics.
– Runs and drives as it should and as it did new
– Car has been about 90% restored

Selling my 1986 Mustang Saleen number 46. This car was originally sold in Massachusetts but spend most of it’s life in California. The car has absolutely zero rust. The body has a hundred and ten thousand miles on it, but the rebuild only has just over a thousand.

The car is one-of-one in two ways, it is the only ’86 Saleen that was red with gold wheels, gold stripes, tan interior and T-tops. It is the one and only one in ’85 or ’86 that was ever ordered with no center console. The car was ordered with no center console, but a center console was received with it when it was new. Which I have, it retains the Saleen plaque on the cigarette ashtray. The car was also ordered with no AC, and it was a no power option group, but it does have power windows.

The car retains everything that is factory to it. It has the Kenwood radio the Kenwood speaker covers the Momo steering wheel the original center caps and so on. The car has been about 90% restored. It has newer paint which is extremely nice, very nice interior with new seat covers and carpet period and a fresh motor would just over a thousand miles on it that was rebuilt to factory spec.

One of the only things that is not original are the shorty headers and exhaust. The car also has 3.73:1 gears instead of the original 2.73s. The car runs and drives as it should and as it did new. The car also has Eibach springs for a better ride, but I have the original Racecrafts in a box. In the Saleen book, it states that this car was one of the first three to receive the 1986 front and rear valance for 1986 model year Saleen Mustangs. This car is also one of three t-top Saleens that actually came from Ford as a T-top car and was not converted. Car has brand new tires as well, and the wheels were refinished. Basically all the running gear is new. It does need a speedometer cable.

I really don’t want to sell the car, but it just isn’t the right season for me to own something like this.

Details on this rare car, lots of original paperwork and build sheets, 100% authenticated

1 of 1 that is Red/Gold and Factory T-tops (In the Saleen book, it states that this car was one of the first three to receive the 86 front and rear Valance )

Up for Auction is my 1988 Saleen Mustang #329 with 58,930 original miles in excellent condition. Scarlet Red with red interior and gold graphics, 1 of 1 documented from Saleen. I am the 4th owner of this car. All original single stage paint and interior in amazing condition. Very rare car; 708 Saleen Mustangs were made in 1988; 549 were hatchback and only 5 Saleen Mustangs were made with a red interior and this is most likely the only one left. Car is mostly stock condition and has all original Saleen parts as delivered from the Saleen factory including original Racecraft suspension, original Strut Tower brace, Hurst 5 Speed shifter, Saleen Leather Shift knob, Momo Veloce Steering wheel, FloFit seats and specially ordered when new with 3:55 gears. Comes with correct pioneer radio and equalizer. Car is very clean, in beautiful show condition and runs excellent.

Engine runs smooth, always had Royal Purple Synthetic oil changes. Pictures of the engine show engine is in stock form but there are a few modifications that were done by the original owner including GT40 Heads, Ford Racing Headers, Ford Mass Air Flow sensor (added to all Mustangs in 1989), aluminum drive shaft, DynoMax mufflers, sub-frame connectors and smog pump delete. The catalytic converters are not on the car but I have them to go with the car. Recently, the car has gone through a full tune-up including new coolant, new Ford Motorsport radiator hoses, Ford Motorsport spark plugs, Ford Motorsport ignition wires, Ford Motorsport oil filter, new rear differential oil, and new rear brake pads. There is also new under hood insulation.

Everything works on this car, there are no problems and no leaks. This car has a clean title and never been hit. Overall, the original paint is smooth and mint condition with only a few minor touch ups on the hood, passenger fender and the A-pillar is showing signs of age with paint discoloration / fading (See picture). The Original Pioneer KEH-6050 Cassette Radio comes with the car but is missing the fast forward button. Overall this car is a true collectible and increasing in value. You will not find another one like this. It is after all documented one of one, grabs a lot of attention and has won awards at local car shows. It comes with the Saleen Owners Packet, Ford Mustang Owners Manual and receipts for recent maintenance over the last few years. Thank you for your interest.
