This Ford Fox-Body Mustang got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1989 Ford Mustang is #116 of approximately 895 examples modified by Saleen Autosport for the model year. This car is finished in black over beige cloth upholstery and is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes Saleen bodywork, 16″ wheels, revised suspension components, Flo-Fit front sport seats, a Momo steering wheel, air conditioning, cruise control, and a Pioneer cassette stereo with an equalizer. The car was initially registered in Texas and was acquired by the seller in March 2017, reportedly from the original owner. This Saleen Mustang shows 6k miles and is offered with a window sticker, a warranty identification card, correspondence with Saleen Autosport, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Minnesota title in the seller’s name.
