This 2001 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 in Performance Red Clearcoat is a prime example of what happens when a legend gets the Saleen touch. With only 1 of 2 built in this specific color, interior, and gearing combination, it's already a rare gem. But throw in that aggressive Saleen body kit, louvered side scoops, and the signature S281 decklid spoiler, and you've got a Mustang that's bound to turn heads whether it's parked or cruising.
Under the hood, you'll find a 4.6L V8 that's been treated to Saleen's performance upgrades. The Saleen Power Flash performance calibration and Power Pulley system boost its punch, while the cold air intake and aluminum radiator with electric fan keep things cool when you put the pedal down. Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this pony car delivers pure driving excitement with every shift.
Inside, the Saleen interior package sets the tone with charcoal leather bucket seats that hug you in place. This Mustang is loaded with modern conveniences like power locks, windows, mirrors, and even a power trunk release. And if you're a fan of blasting tunes, the Mach 460 sound system ensures your soundtrack sounds as good as that dual exhaust rumble echoing behind you.
Underneath, this Saleen rides on variable rate springs tuned by the masters themselves, with 4-wheel disc brakes bringing all that power to a confident stop. The custom-designed “S” belt, along with Saleen's performance air filter, means this isn't just any stock Mustang—it's a Saleen thoroughbred with attitude to spare.
If you're looking for something truly special—a rare Mustang with Saleen pedigree and performance to match—this S281 is the real deal. Whether it's the car show circuit or your favorite stretch of highway, this is one Mustang that commands respect and delivers on the promise of its iconic Saleen badge.
