1992 Saleen Mustang. I have owned this car since 2006 and hate to sell it. This was the car I always wanted while in high school when it was the top dog of the current Mustang world. Fast forward 13 years, and I had to go all the way from Scottsdale AZ to Atlanta to get this particular car. I am a huge fan of Fox-Bodied Mustangs. My first car at 15 years old was one and I have owned nearly 20 of them over the years and have never been without one. This is the last one I own and planned to keep the car forever. Starting a new business is never cheap nor does the business perform as quickly as you would like and that is why I have decided to part with this beauty. If you have ever researched the build numbers on Saleen cars by years, you will know that 1992 was a reorganization year for Saleen. After a high water mark in 1989 of manufacturing almost 1,000 cars, production fell to only 17 cars in 1992. 1992 was also the first year that Saleen offered a Vortech Supercharger as an installed option at over 3,000. This car was one of the 10 cars to be so equipped. This car was also equipped with 3.55 ratio rearend gears. In the stunning black on black color scheme with Silver body stripes. This car is number 21 and is truly a one of one and is so documented by a letter from Saleen. I am the fourth owner of the car and it has been well taken care of over the years. It has always been garaged by me and I know it lived indoors during its care from the previous owner. I can document all 4 owners so the history of this car is very well known. It has just over 29,000 original miles on the clock and drives fantastic. This car is completly numbers matching as well. This car has all of the original drive train including the World-Class T5 transmission with gearing that was unique to Saleen. The original Vortech is still with the car and was factory rebuilt by Vortech just prior to me getting the car. The Supercharger is number 306 and shows just how young Vortech was as a company back then. There have been tasteful modifications done to the engine and makes this car a monster on the street. TFS Twisted Wedge heads were installed along with a custom cam, GT40 intake, Dynomax mufflers with a Bassani X-pipe and full MSD ignition. The original boost retard is still in the car as well. I do have the original heads, intake and catalyst H-pipe if originality was the goal. Personally, I love originality, but this car performs so well that I have a hard time undoing it. All install work was done by professionals and funded by the second owner. The car was run on a dyno just before I purchased the car and shows 480 horsepower at the rear wheels. Truly amazing. The car runs cool even in the hot Arizona summer and the A/C blows ice cold. I wish all of my Mustangs had behaved this well. The only flaw with the car is the original paint which is starting to show its age. While it still holds a nice shine, the top of the hood and the roof show small pitting. You have to get within a foot to even see it, but I want full disclosure here. It is well known that Ford had paint problems during this time and this car is much better than most. Since I like originality, I chose to leave it as cars are only original once and I feel originality adds value. I would rate the paint a 6 out of 10 as compared to a showroom fresh car. Keep in mind the car is 23 years old. The car has never been wrecked or painted and all of the factory VIN tags are on all of the body panels and I can provide pictures. There are no dings or dents along the sides. The only body flaw is on the top of the drivers fender which I have tried to illustrate in the pictures and is a small ding that a paintless dent guy should be able to remove. It was done by the third owner. The exterior is trimmed nicely in the original Stern 17x9 inch rims on the rear and 8" on the front. These rarities are now long out of production. I replaced the rear tires about 2 years ago and they might have 1,000 miles on them. The rear tires are 255/45-17 Continental Extreme DW and the front are BFG KD 245/45-17. The interior is a different story and would rate that a 9 of 10 easily. The Recaro seats show no wear at all. There is no fading of the upholstery or dash and even the Steve Saleen signature on the dash is well preserved. I am not sure when he signed it and was well before I purchased the car. I do know the second owner loved to show the car and was a member of MCA. The interior also now houses an Alpine stereo CD player with Ipod hookup for your listening pleasure. Even the factory Saleen floormats show almost no wear at all. All interior power features work very well including the cruise control, windows and door locks. A Prestige alarm was cleanly added when I got the car as I wanted keyless entry. It functions perfectly and comes with 2 remotes. As stated prior, I really don't want to sell the car and I believe the starting price is very fair considering the pricing trend these cars have started on. They have nowhere to go but up and I challenge anyone to find another one-of-one Saleen for sale out there. They exist but rarely come for sale. Please do not think that a 1989 car with 70,000 miles will be an accurate comparable. Those cars will still trade in the 13,000 range with the high production numbers and were never supercharged from Saleen. This is the opportunity to own one of the nicest and rarest of all Mustangs and will appreciate much more rapidly than the rest, just like the Shelby Mustang did.

An amazing Group B rally car collection heads to auction

Tue, Jan 26 2021

Kicking off in 1982, the Group B era spawned some of the most fearsome rally cars of all time. The technologically advanced pioneers of all-wheel drive and turbocharging defined a time when automakers had carte blanche to build machines with unrestricted power, without the burden of homologating a large number of road cars to qualify. The results were sometimes deadly, leading the FIA to ban the class after 1986. Now, a collection of seven Group B monsters is headed across the block in Paris as part of the Artcurial auction, held in partnership with France's famed Retromobile show. The show has been delayed to June, however. There's a 1985 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, one of 20 Evo II models that helped the company achieve two championships in Group B's short run. This particular example was driven by world champion Timo Salonen at the 1986 Swedish Rally, where it finished seventh due to an oil filter seal failure. Bruno Saby subsequently drove it at the 1986 Tour de Corse and Peugeot entered it at the 1986 Acropolis Rally as well. It's still registered to Peugeot Talbot Sport and represents a French technological achievement, according to Artcurial, comparable to the Concorde or TGV train. Representing Italy are a pair of Lancias in the iconic Martini livery. The Lancia 037 helped Bel Paese clinch its only Group B victory in 1983, after a hard-fought rivalry with Audi. It's one of the few Group B cars that weren't AWD, achieving its success the old-fashioned way, through lightness and superb handling. A second Lancia, a 1986 Delta S4, was the culmination of the Italian firm's later Group B efforts and one of Saby's favorites. While Group B was no more in 1987, the S4 was the predecessor to the Delta Integrale that would dominate WRC from 1987 through 1992. While the collection also includes greats like a Ford RS200, Renault 5 Maxi Turbo, and MG Metro 6R4, the centerpiece is the Audi Quattro Sport S1. The ultimate Group B machine, it introduced all-wheel-drive and turbocharging to the sport. It also employed the wildest use of wings and air dams to generate downforce. Tunable up to 590 horsepower, it could rocket to 60 mph in about three seconds. The car offered for sale came straight from Ingolstadt, a 1988 model built for the Race of Champions of ex-Group B cars. The collection was amassed in the late 80s and early 90s, not long after Group B's dissolution.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

Least reliable cars and trucks of 2022

Tue, Nov 15 2022

Related: Most reliable cars and trucks of 2022   Every year, Consumer Reports ranks new cars based on their predicted reliability. We often see Toyota, Lexus, and a few other automakers near the top. But on the other side of the coin, the list of least reliable vehicles sometimes contains surprises.   The organization surveys its members to determine the vehicles that exhibited the most problems over the prior year. Owners are asked about creaks and rattles, the durability of parts and trim, and mechanical issues. Consumer Reports assigns a weight to each problem and then uses them to create a score, with 100 being the best. Some familiar names appear on the list of least reliable vehicles (in order with the lowest predicted reliability score at the top), but there are a few eyebrow-raising models, followed by CR's score: Ford F-150 Hybrid: 4 Hyundai Kona Electric: 5 Lincoln Aviator: 8 Nissan Sentra: 9 Ford Explorer: 16 Chevrolet Bolt: 17 Chevrolet Silverado 1500/GMC Sierra 1500: 19 Jeep Gladiator: 21 Mercedes-Benz GLE: 23 Jeep Wrangler: 24 Consumer Reports noted that sedans are the most reliable vehicle category and found that trucks are far lower on the list. That said, the survey showed that trucks from American brands tended to have better reliability scores, so it’s surprising to see GMÂ’s big two and the Ford F-150 on the list. Part of their problematic ownership experience could be due to the fact that all three trucks have received recent updates, and the Ford was completely redesigned for 2022. New tech, fresh drivetrain components, and other improvements can upset the balance of reliability and make newer models look less dependable than their older counterparts.
