The White Label's naturally aspirated engine, in contrast to its supercharged Yellow and Black Label brethren, keeps things genuine for NA enthusiasts. What are we talking about? Ford Mustang, the ultimate American thoroughbred. This is about the 2023 Ford Mustang Saleen 302 White Label, to be exact. Each vehicle is a limited-edition model, making it a sought-after asset among collectors. Saleen Automotive created the White Label to be a highly capable car that is yet comfortable and practical enough for everyday driving. With 1575 miles on its odometer, this Mustang awaits its next owner in Stafford, Virginia.
When speaking of tuned Mustangs, Shelby is usually the most common term that comes to mind. There were, however, a couple of notable alternatives such as Saleen. For the 4th generation Mustang, Saleen had the S281 range, which had several models including this supercharged version: the S281 SC. Saleen took the Mustang and gave it a long list of upgrades, including many visual changes, upgraded engine components and other drivetrain changes. While Saleen had previously been simply a modifier of existing Mustangs, with this range they developed a uniform set of models and established themselves as a major performance-enhancer in the Mustang world. This fine example has a mere 46,650 miles on it and is production #2 from 2003, as stated by its seller.
Ford’s Mustang remains as the sole survivor of the hallowed Pony Car class that captivated countless customers in the Sixties. Its nearest challenger, the Chevy Camaro bid goodbye last year, while the Mustang has now entered a seventh generation. Along the way, the most popular performance Mustangs have been the Shelby Mustangs but there are some rarer machines to be found if you look carefully. Machines like this 2014 Ford Mustang GT Premium Saleen S302 that’s been fettled by Saleen, another well-known American tuning house. Better yet, this fifth-generation pony has galloped a little over 20,000 miles so far and is currently stabled in Devine, Texas.
