Refreshing my 1989 Saleen Mustang

Those are probably my favorite body style besides the classics! I love Saleen's! They are bad ass!

Let me know what you've got and what you need to part with them.
Thanks!

I will check to see what I have today and let you know

This was always my favorite body style of any foxbody. Even people who hate foxbody's, say they like this body style. I always wanted one in high school, so not long after I graduated I found this one and it was in my price range, so I bought it. About a year after that I lost my good paying job, so I had to park the car because it was too expensive to drive/insure/restore. Now, almost 3 years later, I'm pulling her back out again to give her the attention she deserves

Stripes look something like this or all yellow in more places?

man, that looks clean. I hope it survived the next 10 years and still looks the same

Well, I wish it did too. Being Oxford White, the paint started flaking off shortly after this photo. I have a new front and rear bumper cover in the shed for it. I've just been busy working on my Ranger. The Stang has been neglected this summer for sure, the last time I drove it was the first week of July.

His looks just like that but different wheels... His wheels looks way better than those imo..

His were probably the newer "Stern" wheels or the 3 piece wheels, they look almost identical. The Stern wheels were 5 spoke but flat, not rounded the the wheels on the white car. They are pretty rare and if they are in good shape, they could be worth around $2k just for the wheels.

Well here is an update for the Saleen. I found a guy with a 44,000 original mile 1991 Mustang Convertible who was parting it out. Someone T-boned him and totalled it, so he bought the car back to fix but never did, so he decided to part it out. I bought the engine/trans as you see it here, these pics are after I just got it unloaded. I thought I might use the AOD for something else but I have since changed my mind so I will just part out the stuff that I don't want like the Carb setup, MSD distributor, and the AOD. I plan on installing this setup on September 25th, but I have quite a bit of work ahead of me. Stay tuned...

Picked up a trick flow stage 1 cam and spring upgrade for the new 5.0 from another member on here, should be here any day now. Now i just have to send the heads and intake off to get cleaned, ported and polished.
