The BAD:
Air conditioning works excellent and blows ice cold, however it leaks out of the system in about 3 days. 2 Cans of R-134 shot into the system brings it back to ice cold.
The radio antenna wire split so no sound comes out due to it surfs for channels constantly
Some spiderwebbing on the saleen bumper (typical on these cars-fiberglass)
chip on roof
chip in paint on hood corner (see pics)


                     I want to be as honest as possible, the car has been my daily driver and has 0 problems pulling into steep driveways and inclines, it sounds and runs fantastic, i receive looks and thumbs up everywhere i go, it is a very rare car and has a low reserve set. It is excellent driver quality, it is able to drive across country with no hesitation. Any questions please feel free to ask, be the only one at the next Mustang Show with this Body Style Saleen Mustang. This is a very cheap way to get into a Rare car that only increases in value, the mileage is still low and the Paint color is desirable.

 Please Message or call 203-695-4873 with any questions. 

     CAR IS LOCATED in WATERBURY CT with a CLEAR CT TITLE in my NAME. I will be happy to assist with pickup from an airport, local ones are Bradley international in Hartford CT, as well as Westchester County Airport in White Plains NY. Thanks and Goodluck .

Reflecting on the Ford GT on its 10-year anniversary

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

Ten years ago, during the bright-eyed enthusiasm of the early 2000s and before the collective automotive industry did its best Titanic impression, we had the Ford GT. An everyman's supercar like there'd never been (remember, this was before 638-horsepower Corvettes were a thing), the GT arrived with a supercharged, 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower and graced this retro-styled rocket with an easy, sub-four-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Equal to the GT's performance were its looks. Inspired by the GT40 racers that dominated Le Mans and bested Ferrari in the 1960s, the sleek, low, almost-reptilian look of the GT was the absolute pinnacle of the retro styling that so defined the early 2000s.
Crank and Piston put together a video celebrating the ten-year-old GT, arguing that Ford is a bit too busy with the next-gen Mustang, which turns 50 next week, to do it themselves. In the short clip, there is gratuitous engine noise and supercharger whine, not to mention scenes of the white-on-red GT prowling the deserts and streets of Dubai. It's a bit short, but very nicely shot. Scroll down, have a look and be sure to turn up those speakers before getting started.

The 11 most expensive American cars ever

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.
