Overview of 1999 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 Convertible For Sale by Owner

This 1999 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 Convertible delivers the kind of late-1990s tuner-era character that made Saleen one of the most recognizable names associated with the Mustang platform. Finished in Silver Metallic over a Dark Charcoal leather interior with a Black convertible soft top, this example pairs a naturally aspirated 4.6L V8 with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Its Saleen identity is reinforced by the serialized plaque, Racecraft suspension, performance pulleys, high-flow exhaust, full Saleen body treatment, chrome 18-inch wheels, and auxiliary gauge pod. Showing approximately 51,470 miles, it offers a strong mix of open-top driving, V8 performance, and period-correct Saleen styling.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1999 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 Convertible is finished in Silver Metallic and wears the aggressive aero package that helped distinguish Saleen’s interpretation of the New Edge Mustang. It features a Saleen front fascia, side skirts, rear fascia, rear wing, hood, windshield banner, and exterior graphics, giving the car a much more purposeful appearance than the standard Mustang beneath it. A set of 18-inch Saleen chrome wheels completes the look, while the Black convertible soft top adds contrast against the silver body. The interior of this 1999 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 Convertible is trimmed in Dark Charcoal leather and keeps the presentation focused on the driver. A Saleen dash-mounted auxiliary gauge pod adds a distinct performance-oriented touch, while the 5-speed manual transmission gives the car the kind of direct, analog involvement enthusiasts expect from a late-1990s V8 Mustang. The Saleen serialized plaque further reinforces the car’s special identity and separates it from a conventional Mustang GT.

Engine

Power comes from a 4.6L naturally aspirated V8 with sequential multi-point electronic fuel injection, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Saleen performance pulleys and a high-flow exhaust system add to the engine’s performance-oriented setup, while the Saleen Racecraft suspension sharpens the chassis beyond the standard Mustang configuration. The result is a classic Saleen formula: Ford V8 power, manual shifting, rear-wheel drive, and chassis tuning aimed at making the car feel more focused and special than the Mustang it started as.
