The SN95 generation of the Ford Mustang, introduced in late 1993, marked a significant departure from its Fox Body predecessor, bringing a more modern aesthetic and improved chassis dynamics. While the factory offerings were compelling, legendary tuner Steve Saleen continued his tradition of elevating the Mustang experience. The Saleen S281, first introduced in 1996, took the already capable GT and transformed it into a more focused performance machine, blending enhanced power, bespoke suspension tuning, and distinctive aerodynamic styling. For 1998, Saleen produced a limited number of these specialized Mustangs, with the S281 Convertible, particularly when optioned with the iconic Speedster package, representing a truly rare breed. This 1998 Saleen S281 Speedster, production number 98-0022, is one of only 81 GT-based S281 convertibles produced that year and has been officially verified by Saleen themselves. Showing 103,340 miles, this genuine Saleen example is finished in its original Laser Red exterior over a black interior, retaining its factory-confirmed Speedster package with the distinctive hard tonneau cover and Sport Bar. Under the hood lies the original 4.6L V8, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging driving experience. Beyond its Saleen-specific styling, Racecraft suspension, and white-face gauges, this car also features thoughtful upgrades such as SVE front brake calipers with drilled rotors, Bilstein rear performance shocks, and a Cobra heat extractor hood. This is a rare chance to acquire a documented piece of Saleen history, ready for its next enthusiast owner.
