CHROME MOLLY 351 LANDS AT CAMPBELL FORD

Words cannot accurately describe this one-off custom 2014 Saleen 351 Extreme. This car is much different, more Extreme, than anything yet from Steve Saleen. For starters this car began life as a 2014 Shelby GT500. From this starting point Steve Saleen and his team worked their magic. What exists now is a 700HP masterpiece. It is the only one like it in the world. Painted with custom Steve Saleen designed and created ChromeMolly Metallic paint. Saleen designed Supercharger helping the 351 block put out 700HP. Saleen designed Red Butterfly Induction Hood. Custom Saleen black leather and Alcantera interior. Incredible glass scenic roof. It feels like you are outside but are safely protected from the 200 mph wind elements! This car is personally signed by Steve Saleen on the dash. This is truly a one of a kind super car. List price is $55,445 for the Shelby GT 500 base car plus $118,235 for the Saleen 351 Extreme transformation for an MSRP of $173,680. But as a long time Saleen dealer we are offering this one of a kind car for considerably less than MSRP.

This quote is from Derek Hall, Saleen Sales Director: “The reason we started with the SVT was due to the fact ford was not selling the 5.8 block yet. We needed the block to build our engine. You will actually have a very limited production 351, all the rest have been built from the base GT platform. There are only two cars built this way, yours and a private customer.”

This car is the ONLY car to have started as a GT 500 and be painted in a custom Saleen color. Bumper number 14 was specially reserved for this car to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Mustang. And because 2014 is the last year of this flavor of Mustang. 2015 brings a more homogenized, smaller “world” Mustang. It will be sold world wide and will lose much of what makes Mustang so prized in the United States.

The following is what Steve Saleen designed and constructed to make the 351 Extreme:

Supercharged 351ci DOHC V8 Engine with 700 HP Upgrade
Saleen Supercharger with Asymmetric Multi-lobe Screws

Press Release

CUSTOM GLASS SOLUTIONS PROVIDES GUARDIAN REVEAL SWITCHABLE GLASS ROOF FOR NEW SALEEN MUSTANG

On display at the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration in Charlotte, NC

WORTHINGTON, OH – April 17 – Ford Motor Company’s iconic pony car, the Mustang, turns 50 this year and is being celebrated in style this week in Charlotte, NC. Visitors to the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration will be delighted by roaring exhaust notes, high octane fumes, immaculate paint jobs, classic pony cars and modern renditions of a venerable classic.

One of the best executed modern versions on display at the Mustang celebration is the creation of another icon, Steve Saleen and the team at Saleen Automotive. The Saleen Mustang offers performance, suspension, trim and styling cues that stand out in a crowd and provides an excellent platform for additional personalization and customization. Saleen’s new Mustang also offers an option never seen before on a Mustang: a panoramic, switchable, glass roof.

The breathtaking roof utilizes Guardian Reveal switchable glass technology, which enables glass to go from clear to opaque with the flip of a switch. This option – dubbed Saleen Frost-Touch Glass – gives Saleen Mustang owners the best of both worlds: a 360-degree birds-eye view from the cockpit as well as protection from the heat and glare, as desired.

“We are always looking for game-changing technologies that will help set our vehicles apart from the pack,” says Steve Saleen, CEO, Saleen Automotive. “In working with the Custom Glass Solutions team at Guardian, we are getting to see firsthand the value and impact glass can have on a vehicle. We know our customers will agree; our panoramic, switchable, glass roof is a thing of beauty and a true differentiator.”

The Reveal Glass equipped Saleen Mustang made its way from California to take part in the anniversary activities in Charlotte. In true Mustang fashion, it was accompanied by a pack of more than 300 other Mustangs making the eastward trek.

“We are proud to introduce our Reveal switchable glass technology to the automotive world with a respected and reputable brand like Saleen,” says Todd Baum, sales director for Custom Glass Solutions. “The Saleen name stands for quality to automotive enthusiasts, much the way Guardian is synonymous with high-quality glass. As both professionals and enthusiasts, we are proud to produce advanced technology like this in the U.S. for a vehicle that is an American Icon.”

The Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration takes place April 16 – 20 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and visitors can see the new Saleen Mustang with the dynamic, switchable glass roof at the Saleen stand in the center of the paddock.

MUSTANGS ACROSS AMERICA KICK OFF

Mustangs Across America 2014
Mustangs Across America 2014

By: MICHAEL SATTERFIELD on April 8, 2014 at 4:28 pm
Original Article: THEGENTLEMANRACER.COM

Kicking off the celebration for the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at Saleen headquarters in Corona, California brought out some of the best Mustang in the country and even some from around the world. Mustang owners from the UK, Slovakia, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and from all across the USA showed up to drive coast to coast. The drive will end up in Charlotte North Carolina at one of the largest Mustang parties of all time. Saleen is just on the other side of the airport from us so I thought I would swing over and take some photos.
