The yellow has always popped on this car. For a long time the yellow wheels were over the top. It's so "in period" to have the wheels color coded to the car. For a long time this car wore the now coveted three piece Sterns on it when it was under the previous owner. Current owner is a good guy. The heads were worked on the SC to get to that 450hp number. The lower intake on the Dixon setup was "port matched" as well. Rare car! Highly coveted these days. Glad you chose to do a video on this @GearHead704. To my knowledge this is the only yellow Foxbody Saleen ever produced.

[@GearHead704]

Appreciate the additional Saleen history on this one! Y'all be sure to go check out this channel. He is the authority on Saleen Mustangs in my opinion.

[@PuristMotorsports]

@@GearHead704 I should add. There are a couple Tropical Yellow Saleen's. But this one is the only one ever produced in this color yellow and is the only one on a limited edition convertible chassis.

[@chriswhitehouse9764]

Love following Saleen Fox body history.

[@joshthemediocre7824]

I'm 40, i grew up around Mustangs and the foxbodies have always been closest to my heart. I could hear a 5.0 coming from a mile away. One car the always looked right to me was the Saleen Foxbodies. No matter what year or color i like them all, good stuff.

[@GearHead704]

You definitely could hear them

[@johnkovich1617]

Just a baby back then😊

[@tonypence0602]

When I was in high school (1994 I believe), a friend of mine and I drove to John Bleakly Ford to see this car in the showroom after school. The salesman opened it up and let me sit in it. I was a Saleen fan even since. Years later, I ran into this car again at a show. I spoke to the owner at that time. I believe his name was Bill. Beautiful car… always great to see it out there. What a wonderful survivor.

[@GearHead704]

Wow that's amazing you got to see it in the showroom! Talk about a memory. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@joshjohnson939]

Bill bought it used from them, it was traded in. I believe he trade a red 88 or 89 saleen in on it when he got. I was around this car for about 18 years. Rode in several times,took it out cruising on Saturday nights with my brother in law. Same guy "Bill price" had an Sa10 too it was fun. Super charged vibrant 93 cobra that had a dealer installed sn93 blower and headers 3:55 gears. 69 shelbly,67 coupe,93 special edition vert,, turbo convertible,70 boss 302,t bird,65 or 6 k code coupe,a 66 fast back race car..

[@foxmustangrestoration9688]

This car won "Best Special Edition" at Chocolate Fox and it's no wonder! Great vid Gearhead704!

[@GearHead704]

It deserved it for sure. Thanks y'all

[@JustinSmithPYRO]

As an owner of an 82 GT that my parent's bought new. I would love to own a 94 S351 in the same color of this beauty. That thing is gorgeous

[@cherokeeautogroupcherokeea3030]

The 82 GTs are my favorite! I’ve been on the hunt for a perfect one!

[@GearHead704]

Couldn't agree more that's a great choice. Nice 82

[@KASLCustoms]

Wow buddy that is crazy! I’ve been waiting for someone to put up a video on this - thanks so much for sharing that beauty 😍

[@GearHead704]

Hey Gary! It was my pleasure. I hope there are many more videos on it.

[@C.R.T.mountainhomestead]

Greetings Matt! Great piece on this awesome bit of fox history. I know we love our verts, and this is probably the number 1 vert out there!

[@GearHead704]

Hey Carl! Yes we do and I gotta agree with you. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@fredwilliams7893]

This why I find it amusing when non mustang people think mustangs aren't worth anything and are cheap! This car is awesome!

[@GearHead704]

Absolutely one of a kind!

[@89gt5.0]

The grey one next to it looked really nice.

[@GearHead704]

It one best in show actually. It was an amazing 4 eye.

[@dmill78]

I love these Mustangs these cars stand the test of time and can always be modified

[@elementl1166]

Gotta love that Saleen. Two SA-10’s though!!! I’d give my right ?!@ for just one! Lol

[@GearHead704]

Hah hah, I'm with you there.

[@paulhudgins5120]

Nice what a great car, and being a vert just for you Matt. These are awesome powerful cars for what the time period was. Just love everything about this car, only thing a don't care for is the wheels, I thought their were better looking choices in wheels. What a great one Matt.

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Paul, yes this just might be the ultimate foxvert! I truly felt honored to put it on my channel.

[@rr122608]

Oh man!!! That Saleen looks bad ass! I remember buying a Fast Fords magazine with a yellow SN95 Saleen Mustang. 🤩 ❤️

[@GearHead704]

I think I remember the issue you are talking about.

[@rolandrodriguez7145]

I am original owner of a royal blue 1987 'I am addicted to making all parts in the car brand new '7 miles a month temperature control garage 'nice and slow original tires 27k miles 'no dings or road rash ' it reminds me of younger days with my wife and baby cruising in style

[@GearHead704]

Wow that's low mileage! Amazing, very cool and I'm glad you still own it.

[@patsfan8057]

What a car. Thanks for sharing for those of us who can't make every event!

[@GearHead704]

You bet!

[@jaysrandomnesschannel]

The Fox body was the most UN-Mustang of all...but I still love them!😊

[@GearHead704]

Actually I completely agree on this one as well.

[@ogsuperflygarage]

Incredibly beautiful Saleen! Definitely a rare gem! Thanks for sharing Matt!💯👊🏾

[@GearHead704]

My pleasure!!

[@BobDinglebert]

This used to be my grandpa’s car he also had a SA10 I have old pictures of it

[@GearHead704]

That's awesome!

[@spassmore8483]

This is got to be one of my favorite verts I just really like the way that they did The styling with the yellow everything on the outside and black guts & to be number 001 of the 004 man that's a dream right there!!! it looks like a super fun car to have and for that much horsepower back in '93 you had to be king of the streets leaving the dealership! great video Matt!!! 🦊 🏁

[@GearHead704]

Yes, the ULTIMATE vert and king of the streets back in 93 for sure. Man this is a great one.

[@deadriseful]

Another great video my dude!

[@GearHead704]

Appreciate it buddy!

[@inerceptor]

I saw that car at John Bleakley in 1993.

[@GearHead704]

Oh man that's awesme!

[@rolandrodriguez7145]

Awesome in yellow

[@GearHead704]

Agreed

[@callen6893]

Iirc that is the only yellow Saleen fox made unless you add in Tropic Yellow (I think they made 2 of those). The front brakes are 13” Alcons similar to what the optional ones used on S351s. The trans is also the same one as used on S351s a Tremec 3550 (on early S351s). You don’t want to know what that intake manifold is worth.

[@GearHead704]

I think you're right the only yellow one. Very cool appreciate the info.

[@Stephen_garza]

This is the car that inspired my hood decal!

[@GearHead704]

Ah, I always wondered about that. Cool it makes sense buddy.

[@BigStickStangs]

Great video Matt! That’s an amazing vert. I love that color yellow, and matching wheels. top down price up! 😀

[@GearHead704]

Top down price up! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

This car is the inspiration for my car. I would have got arrested for stalking this car if I had of been there.

[@VidTubeWatch]

First off Matt, I haven't forgotten about you whatsoever. I've been on a work/life/freetime hiatus. LOL. Everyone that watches this video please like, comment, subscribe and share. GearHead704 is a genuinely nice guy, and no I have not actually had the privilege of meeting him in person "yet." I do plan to though one day. I had the privilege to do a tune up on my 80 year old father's 2011 Ford F-150 XLT on Father's Day. He has alzheimer's disease. He loves that truck, and although he can still drive as long as my mother or I accompany him, one day it will be passed on to me. I found out that it has the detuned Coyote engine. Love you GearHead. Keep doing what you do.

[@GearHead704]

VV no problem at all. The videos will be here waiting whenever you can and I definitely hope we get to meet one day. Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you were with your Dad on Father's Day!

[@floydmarseeii4007]

[@patsfan8057]

Yep!

[@COLDHRTDKILLA]

Don't tell the guys trying to sell 4 banger notches for 15k that a vert is the most expensive. They will surely cry.

[@GearHead704]

👆 🤣 Right!

[@patsfan8057]

I know, right?! 😂 Other than special editions, one offs, convertible models of almost any make are worth more than their hardtop counterparts.

[@BrotherTom]

Wow...what a beauty!

[@GearHead704]

Definitely, thanks Tom

[@ponyxpress001]

That Thing Is Incredible !!! And I Thought My Car Was Rare LOL My Fox Saleen, "Smoke" Gray (88#215) Was 1 Of 3 Sent To JBA For Modification Directly From Saleen To Have A 4 Point JBA/Saleen Roll Bar, Rear Shock Tower Brace, & Frame Connectors Installed. It Belonged To Chuck Snipes of Snipes Ford Goldsboro, N.C. & Was His Personal Saleen Demo For 1988. It's My Understanding That "Chuck" Used To Take It To A Track Down There & Race It. It Was Sold & Came Here To R.I. In 1989 Having Never Been Titled/Registered & Sold As A "USED" Leftover & Came With A Leather Saleen Jacket & Racing Helmet That The Original Buyer Still Retains. It Also Came With The Brand New In Box MoMo Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel In The Back Seat & The Buyer Was Told That Saleen Would Be In Contact When They Produced The Hardware To Adapt The C/C Buttons To The Wheel Which He Was Within The First Year Of Buying It. He Received A Postcard Directing Him To Bring The Car & MoMo Steering Wheel To RIZZO Ford, A New England Saleen Dealer At The Time For Installation. 88#215 Currently Has 59K Original Miles On The Car Itself, Block, Trans, & Rear Axle Housing With Less Mileage On The Various Drivetrain Upgrades She's Received From 1989 Until Recently. kzbin.infovduAewQMa9k?feature=share

[@GearHead704]

Still yours is very rare. That "Smoke" gray is a cool and rare color. Thanks for sharing all the details.

[@gdb5448]

"if the top goes down, the price goes up" is really only true with the old school muscle cars...we all know that in the Fox game the hardtop cars(especially a sedan/coupe/notch-whatever you want to call it) will bring more money than a comparable convertible. Even in this case I believe that the 1 and only hatchback 1993 SC made is more valuable than any of the three convertibles(including this one that was built from a yellow Summer Edition car, which is pretty cool) and not just because it is a 3 against one situation. If the production numbers were equal at 3 hatches and 3 verts I bet the hatches would still be worth at least 10-15% more.

[@GearHead704]

I agree with you actually. Was more joking around on the video. I do think the hatch back will go for the highest price.

[@bassglx]

Thats insane

[@joshjohnson939]

Honestly, it looked way better with the stern wheels. I've rode in the car many times.

[@GearHead704]

That's so cool you rode in it!

[@readyreckoner1592]

[@GearHead704]

Hah hah, gotta love it!

[@05gtdriver]

Makes you wonder what one of the 3 original 1984 Saleens are worth if they were ever up for sale? I hear the same person owns all 3, is that true?

[@GearHead704]

I bet it would be up there. I"m not sure if that's true or not.

[@ThaSilentOne420]
