Background Story of this 2005 Ford Mustang

Overview of 2005 Ford Mustang For Sale by Owner

The Ford Mustang is as ubiquitous as American Cheese and Hollywood glamour. The ultimate pony car has been in production since 1965, and it is safe to say it will probably be there when our great-grandkids are born. This puts the Mustang in a very unique position where the brand is popular enough that it has become common. To rectify this, the American performance manufacturer Saleen Inc introduced the Ford Mustang Saleen S281 3V, based on a 2005 Ford Mustang. Hop into this rare performance-enhanced 2005 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 3V that bears 31,000 miles on the odometer and is a dream car for any high-performance car fans.

Exterior and Interior

The Saleen designation on this 2005 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 3V is not just the mechanical aspects of it. In fact, this Mustang Saleen boasts an uber-brilliant Performance White Clearcoat finish. Saleen does a complete overhaul of the Mustangs body which includes a custom front fascia that boasts a clean design with the Saleen badge on the custom black-painted grille along with the custom turn signals. The sides feature a custom side skirt with minimalistic Saleen decals and Saleen badging. A major change from the stock Mustang is the rear, where it uses center-located rectangular dual exhaust tips reminiscent of the McLaren F1 and of course, the Saleen decals on the bumper. It sits on a set of white painted 7-spoke wheels with chrome Saleen centers. The interior is finished in a contrasting Dark Charcoal with leather appointments. Access to the interior is greeted by the custom Saleen door sills. Saleen customization goes in further with Saleen badging on the dash, Saleen branded black-faced gauges, a 3-spoke steering wheel with a Saleen center in black and red, and white Saleen stitching for the front bucket seats and rear seats. The seller reports that the factory Saleen window sticker is available.

Engine

The 2005 Ford Mustang features a 4.6L Modular V8 engine coupled with either an automatic or a manual. The 2005 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 3V takes this engine and ups the engine's output with several upgrades. These include a Saleen Performance air filter, Saleen 2 ½" variable flow performance center exhaust, Saleen Power Pulleys, and SFI-approved damper, as well as Racecraft suspension for better handling. All the aforementioned engine enhancements come together to produce 325hp of power.

2006 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$49,999

This 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is available right now in San Marcos, Texas, and why should you buy it? Well, for starters, it’s got a scarcely believable 8,000 miles on the odometer! That’s fantastic for a sixth-generation or C6 Corvette, but this car also rocks the Z51 Performance Package and the 3LT Preferred Equipment Group. This means it’s not only well-equipped, but a treat to drive. In case you don’t know, the C6 was a notable step up from the C5 thanks to its slightly shorter overall dimensions but longer wheelbase. This made the car a nicer handling package, as well as gave it a roomier interior. Plus, this car comes with a 6-speed manual transmission to really work out the larger V8 that came with the C6. There’s more, of course, so keep reading.
