This 1999 S351 Saleen Speedster is perfect. I Purchased the car Summer of 2010. Why a Nut and Bolt restoration. I have only one way of doing cars for myself, the extreme way.I cant and wont settle for fair condition cars. The car was worthy of a full mechanical and exterior restoration even though it didnt need it. The prior owner had many performance upgrades. We returned the car to almost stock condition. I have a Saleen letter documenting the S351S. The car is in the Saleen Regestry under the prior owners name. Saleens Productions Records state the following...


Saleen Mustang 99-0025S
Ford VIN 1FAFP440XF111199
Black Exterior/Dark Charcoal interior convertible with silver graphics.
The car was manufactured with optional 3.55 gears. Housing is stamped 3.55
Saleen floor mats and wheel tire upgrade
Only 1 or 2 with these exact colors and options.
There were a total of 466  Manufactured in 1999. Of the 466 only 46 were S351 s and 26 were convertible and 7 were produced in black. 

Body....
Quarters, Doors and Deck lid are still in original body paint. All ground Spoilers were repainted. The Heat Extractor Hood after locating one was restored better than new. All graphics were replaced. Fender Emblems, Grill and Horse and Ford NOS parts. The car was professionally Sanded and Polished. The convertible top is in excellent condition and original. The rear cover was repainted and its perfect. Under Chassis is show detailed and painted.

Interior. Leather seats show usual signs of normal wear. The carpet was replaced with a Ford NOS Carpet set. Shifter Boot and instrument cluster lens and NOS Ford parts. Radio is a new Alpine unit.

Mechanically after finding the correct type engine and parts received a full rebuild. All engine bearings (standard) new, upgraded DSS pistons and a TFS Stage 2 Camshaft. Correct TFS Twisted Wedge Heads. The engine was professionally rebuild by our areas leading Ford Performance Re builder.  Correct Upper and Lower GT 40 Intake. 65 mm Throttle Body. Vortech Upgraded T Trim supercharger rebuilt by Vortech. Most to all engine hardware was re plated gold or clear cad. The Supercharger, intake and may parts I had show polished. Exhaust.... Ford Racing shorty stainless headers, BBK H Pipe and Saleen Cat Back. (I could not find the original style machine gun tip tailpipes) The under hood presentation is mind blowing. 

Drive line received a full mechanical restoration. Aluminum Flywheel, Centerforce Stage 2 clutch, T/O bearing, Full Transmission Refresh including all bearings. New Ford Clutch Cable..Rear Diff received all bearings and a fresh Ford Racing Gearset. All oils are Syentetic. Driveshaft is original Aluminum custom S351. All Drive line parts are show detailed, painted after stripping and most hardware plated.

Cooling system. I re designed the problem prone fan circuitry. A under fender 75 Amp fan Relay with an standalone fan switch was used. The radiator is original S351. All Hoses replaced.

Fuel System. A know problem with the S351. I used an Upgraded 03 04 Cobra Fuel tank with dual pumps. Relocated the EVap Module to the L/H side behind the wheel. Use the original 99 fuel feed line. Upgraded the return line to braided stainless steel Teflon. I also upgraded the fuel circuit using a 10 gauge feed wire and a 75 amp Relay.This fuel system will support in excess of 600 RWHP.  

Air Conditioning. Just to make sure all stones were turned over. I replaced the evaporator core, condenser,accumulator and hose. Also the car has a new AC compressor. 

The trunk has the all the evap cooling tubing. Quite a ton of effort to get it Federal Emissions Certified. Interesting to me is the fact that using the E Series 96 Van ecu with only one downstream Cat monitor input.The car needs 2 sensors ! Someone missed that during the certification process... 

Suspension is all rebuilt. Control arms are re bushed. New ball joints, tie rod ends, Correct Saleen springs and Struts on all 4 corners. Rear control arms are new, all hardware was cad plated and all suspension parts including the Saleen  modified engine cradle is Powder Coated. 

Breaks are Saleen S351. All parts are Power Coated and Cad Plated. ABS Module is a Ford NOS part. The Master Cylinder is a new replacement part. 

Wheel and Tires are used. Some signs of ware and a few chips. Tires are Yokohama Front 265/35/ZR18 and Rear 295/35/ZR18 Tread dept on average 7/32 to 8/32 inch.  

Electrically all circuits that were Saleen Modified were re wired. I was quite surprised at the questionable re wiring that Saleen had done. I found a ecu circuit  on the the wrong ECU pin. I have over 120 hours re wiring the saleen engine and dash ecu. I even took the time to rewire the dash ECU with a removalble 104 pin plug and wired a second DTC plug for body module communication and diagnostics. The Saleen is now Pats functional and the Dash (under seat) ECU is re flashable. I believe that there is no one more knowledgeable on the Dual Ford ECU S351 wiring that I. I found it interesting and educational. Got to hand it to Saleen. To outfit a Mustang with the last pushrod engine in the years of the mod motors was incredible.  

Keep in mind much of this work was un needed. I wanted an S351 like no other. Here it is....

Will Consider Trades and Cash offers.

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.

According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.

NHTSA probes 2014 Ford Edge Sport 22-inch alloy wheels

Wed, May 27 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2014 Ford Edge Sport for the possibility its 22-inch wheels could break while on the road. This affects an estimated 20,000 examples of the crossover, according to NHTSA. The case that instigated this evaluation was submitted to NHTSA in November 2014. The driver reported that the front, right corner of the vehicle suddenly dipped, and the Edge went into a field. No one was harmed, but upon investigation, the wheel had broken into two pieces, according to The Detroit News. When this happened, this crossover had been driven an estimated 8,500 miles. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are meant "to assess the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequences of the alleged defect in the subject vehicles." If a problem is discovered during the investigation, this process can lead to a recall. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog, "We will cooperate with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do."
