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!

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
Bosch fined $57.8 million by DOJ for price fixing and bid rigging
Tue, Mar 31 2015The US Department of Justice has been investigating bid rigging and price fixing among automotive parts suppliers for years, and so far the agency has leveled nearly $2.5 billion in fines against 34 companies. The latest business to be caught in this ongoing crackdown is Germany's Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch), the world's largest independent auto component maker, and it agrees to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine to the Feds. According to the DOJ, Bosch has agreed to plead guilty to pricing fixing and bid rigging for spark plugs and oxygen sensors supplied to the former DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors. The rigging is said to have occurred between January 2000 and July 2011. Bosch also allegedly played foul with starter motors sold to Volkswagen from January 2009 until at least June 2010. Bosch and other companies allegedly conspired on the pricing for bids to submit to automakers, and sold the parts at noncompetitive prices. The DOJ filed a one-count felony charge in US District Court for these actions. The company's plea is still subject to court approval, though. Bosch is only the third European company to be charged in this investigation, according to the DOJ. So far, many of the fined businesses have been from Japan, including Takata, NGK and others. Some execs have claimed price-fixing has been the standard operating procedure in the auto parts industry for a long time. Robert Bosch GmbH Agrees to Plead Guilty to Price Fixing and Bid Rigging on Automobile Parts Installed in U.S. Cars Robert Bosch GmbH, the world's largest independent parts supplier to the automotive industry, based in Gerlingen, Germany, has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for spark plugs, oxygen sensors and starter motors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers in the United States and elsewhere, the Department of Justice announced today. According to the one-count felony charge filed today in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan, Bosch conspired to allocate the supply of, rig bids for, and to fix, stabilize and maintain the prices of, spark plugs and oxygen sensors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers such as DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company and Andreas Stihl AG & Co., among others, in the United States and elsewhere.
Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.
