Overview of 1996 Ford Mustang GT Saleen S281 For Sale by Owner

The SN95 Saleen S281 marked Steve Saleen’s vision of transforming Ford’s Mustang GT into a more capable, more exclusive performance machine. Blending improved handling, distinctive styling, and limited production numbers, the S281 has become one of the most desirable modern Saleen models. This 1996 Ford Mustang GT Saleen S281 has traveled just 36,303 miles and is finished in Rio Red over a Black interior. Already equipped with the signature Saleen S281 package, this example is further enhanced by a Saleen Series VI Supercharger, giving the 4.6L V8 a substantial boost in performance while retaining the unmistakable character of the modular Mustang. Combining collectible pedigree with upgraded power, this S281 is equally at home in a private collection or on an open back road.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1996 Ford Mustang GT Saleen S281 is finished in Rio Red and features the unmistakable aerodynamic styling that separates a Saleen from a standard Mustang GT. The signature Saleen body kit includes a unique front fascia, side skirts, rear fascia, and the iconic rear wing, while Saleen graphics complete the car’s unmistakable appearance. Riding on 18-inch Saleen alloy wheels and benefiting from the Saleen Racecraft suspension, this S281 delivers the aggressive stance and improved handling that made Steve Saleen’s creations so respected among enthusiasts. A Saleen front strut tower brace further enhances chassis rigidity while complementing the performance-focused engine bay. The interior of this 1996 Ford Mustang GT Saleen S281 reflects the same driver-focused philosophy. Saleen sport seats provide excellent support, while a Saleen leather-wrapped steering wheel and Saleen short-throw shifter create a more engaging connection between driver and machine. White-face Saleen gauges and the serialized Saleen dash plaque serve as reminders of the car’s exclusivity, while carbon fiber interior trim adds a modern performance-inspired touch to the cabin. Together, these enhancements transform the familiar Mustang interior into one worthy of the Saleen name.

Engine

Under the hood lies Ford’s 4.6L V8, elevated by the addition of a Saleen Series VI Supercharger that transforms the S281 into an entirely different animal. The supercharged setup delivers significantly stronger acceleration across the rev range while preserving the smooth, high-revving characteristics of the modular V8. Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, the powertrain rewards driver involvement with every shift, while the Saleen Racecraft suspension and front strut tower brace ensure the chassis is equally capable of handling the added performance. Representing one of the most iconic tuner Mustangs of the 1990s, this low-mileage S281 offers the exclusivity of a genuine Saleen with performance to match its aggressive appearance.
