2000 Ford Mustang GT Saleen S281 SC

This 2000 Ford Mustang GT Saleen S281 SC has been with the seller for 15 years and has had five owners from new, during which time it has covered 32,672 miles, which is consistent with its vehicle history report. Powered by a supercharged and intercooled 4.6-liter Ford Modular V8 rated at 350 horsepower, motivation is sent to the rear axle through a quick-ratio 5-speed manual transmission, and changes over a standard Mustang GT are numerous including a Saleen bodykit and wheels, Racecraft suspension, along with model-specific trim, instrumentation, and more. This 2000 Saleen S281 SC is accompanied by a collection of documentation including service invoices, owner's manuals, and other literature, and has a clean history according to its CARFAX report.

This Saleen S281 SC is one of 232 coupes made for the 2000 model year and is finished in Silver Clearcoat metallic with Saleen graphics and badging. Saleen bodywork is comprised of urethane bumper covers and side skirts, louvered side scoops, C-pillar accents, a rear spoiler, a lightweight composite hood, and a production number on the driver's side of the front bumper beneath the headlight. 

Five-spoke Saleen 18" x 9" wheels wear Bridgestone 255- and 265-section tires. Optional four-piston Saleen calipers gripping 13" grooved rotors are present up front.

Trimmed in Dark Charcoal throughout, the interior features Saleen embroidered floor mats and leather bucket seats by Recaro with Saleen branding. A Saleen S281 plaque designating this coupe as the 737th produced for 2000 is affixed to the center console, and matches the number on the front bumper. A total of 998 Saleen Mustangs were produced for 2000, 232 of which were supercharged coupes like this. Amenities such as air conditioning and the sound system are described as functional per the seller who notes an inoperative passenger side window switch.

The gauge cluster contains a 200-mph speedometer with Saleen branding which sits beside a 7,000-rpm tachometer. Other gauges inform the driver of the fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure, while in additional pod is mounted on the dash with dials for boost pressure and intercooler water temperature. The digital odometer displays 32,672 miles which are original per the seller.

The Saleen S281 gets its model designation from the 281 cubic-inch-displacement of the Ford 4.6-liter SOHC 16-valve V8. While a conventional 2000 Ford Mustang GT had output of 260 horsepower at 5,250 rpm with 302 pound-feet of torque at 4,000, the Saleen S281 SC was rated at 350 horsepower at 5,000 rpm with 410 pound-feet of torque at 3,000, thanks to the addition of a Roots supercharger and a water-to-water intercooler among other supporting modifications. A quick-ratio T5 manual transmission routes power to the rear, and the CARFAX report indicates regular servicing with consistent oil changes.

The undercarriage is fitted with Racecraft suspension components including upgraded front and rear springs, a front sway bar, dampers, and bushings. 

Service records dating back to when the car was new are included per the seller.
