Overview of 2005 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 3V Coupe 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.

1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop

Current Ask
$36,500

This 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop is the kind of early pony car that gets straight to the point: a compact coupe, a small-block Ford V8, a four-speed manual, and rear-wheel drive. Showing approximately 17,433 miles, this example is finished in Caspian Blue over a black reupholstered interior and keeps the classic Mustang recipe intact while adding just enough personalization to make it feel more driver-focused. The 289ci V8, Hurst shifter, manual gearbox, and clean first-generation styling give it the sort of analog character that makes these cars so enjoyable even decades later.

This 1930 Ford Model A Phaeton Hot Rod takes the simplicity of early Ford design and turns it into a traditional open-wheel hot rod with a strong period-inspired attitude. Finished in red over a tan interior, it is powered by a 350ci V8 topped with triple 2-barrel carburetors and paired with an automatic transmission. The chopped top has been removed, leaving a more open profile beneath the tan convertible soft top, while the exposed engine, staggered aftermarket wheels, dropped front axle, and side-exit exhaust give the car the unmistakable stance and mechanical presence enthusiasts expect from a classic hot rod build.
