I am selling my Saleen that I have owned for almost 14 years now. It is car #85 of 113 S281 coupes produced in 1997. The reason I am selling is I just do not have time to give the attention the car needs. The car has 134,XXX miles and has never been in an accident. Have only used Mobil1 Synthetic oil and 93 octane fuel. In the past 3 years, when I have done most of the modifications, I have driven the vehicle maybe 2,500 miles. Here is a list of the modifications I have done.
- PI heads and intake manifold
- LT headers
- Flowmaster exhaust and custom piping
- One off custom hood
- SR Saleen wing
- Boyd Coddington 18x9/18x10 wheels
- Short throw shifter
- Smoked headlights
- Stage 3 cams
- Built Stage 3 T45 transmission
- King Cobra clutch
- 4.10 Ford Racing gears
- Eibach springs
- Custom blue paint job
I'm sure I missed a few more that I can't remember at the moment. Also have the factory hood and S281 wing if buyer wants.
Now for the list of issues the car has, given that it is 16 years old.
- Front bumper could be replaced, has some minor damage. It is urethane so no cracks, just flexed.
- Back bumper minor damage underneath vehicle. Not visible without looking underneath car.
- Cluster lights do not come on.
- Speedo gauge does not work properly.
- Heater does not work. Heater core needs to be replaced.
- Rear window needs to be re-tinted.
- Key mark on left, hood, and right side of car.
- Small dent on driver's door.
- Carpet in trunk could be redone.
- Could use a tune. Car runs fine, the idle sometimes is a bit low.
- Siren for alarm does not work. Alarm itself does work.
- Radio wiring needs to be checked as sound does not come out of speakers.
I'm doing my best to be upfront and honest about the condition of the vehicle. These, in my opinion, are mostly minor issues that I just don't have the time to work on. I have not had a chance to give the motor a good cleaning. Car has very good mods and is very fast but just sits in the garage. I have never dyno'd or taken it to the track, ever. NADA has the low value listed at $7,825. If you search for it you'll need to go to the classic section to find Saleen. I hope to find a good buyer that will have the time to fix these issues. If there are any questions or requests please feel free to ask. I can be contacted at 832-818-0792. Happy bidding!

This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014
They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.

There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
