The fifth-generation Ford Mustang, introduced for the 2005 model year, marked a triumphant return to the pony car's roots, blending retro-futuristic styling with modern performance. While the standard GT offered a compelling package, Saleen took the Mustang to an entirely new level, transforming it into a bespoke, high-performance machine. The Saleen S281, a nameplate synonymous with Mustang tuning since the SN95 era, represented the pinnacle of what the S197 platform could achieve, with Saleen's engineering prowess touching every aspect from aerodynamics to suspension and, most notably, the powertrain. Each S281 was a limited-production vehicle, individually numbered and meticulously crafted, ensuring a unique ownership experience that set it far apart from its showroom counterpart. This particular 2006 Saleen S281 SC, number 1404, exemplifies that bespoke Saleen ethos. Finished in the striking and seldom-seen Lizstick Red, this convertible is powered by a supercharged 4.6L V8 engine, paired with a smooth automatic transmission, making for an exhilarating yet comfortable driving experience. With an incredibly low 16,350 miles on the odometer, it presents as a remarkably well-preserved example of a true Saleen. The car comes complete with the desirable speedster package, including its original tonneau cover and custom storage bag, enhancing its open-air appeal. Thoughtful maintenance includes recently redone door panels addressing a common S197 issue, and a brand-new Saleen front bumper is included for future installation, ensuring its aesthetic perfection. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage, supercharged Saleen S281 SC in a truly distinctive color.
