Ford Mustang is one of the most famous car series in the world, and many models have been produced since the release of the car, in 1964. Almost 20 years later, in 1983, the car racer Steve Saleen founded the Saleen company, which was focused on manufacturing racing cars by using old and used stock Ford engines. So the first Saleen Mustang was released in 1984, but as the years were passing, the performance of the cars was increasing proportionally.

During this time, Steve has won many races due to its Saleen Mustang. Among the most important we can recall the 24 hours of Le Mans, 24 hours of Daytona and numerous SCCA championships. Many Saleen Mustang versions have been released since then, like the S281, the S302 Extreme and the S281 SC. The new models were more and more powerful and people began to love them. Suddenly, everyone was crazy about car races and the Saleen Mustang was admired by everyone who came to see the races live.  In 2007, Parnelli Jones tried to revive the Saleen Mustang legend, so with the help of the company Saleen, he released a limited-edition version of the old-school Saleen Mustang. Parnelli was an American racing legend and had millions of fans, so the car was a success. He confessed that he thought about the Saleen Mustang as the best choice to pay homage to the Boss 302, the legendary car that he had raced back in the 70s. Only 500 of the 2007 Saleen cars were made, and they are also known as the Saleen/Parnelli Jones S302.

Also in 2007, it was the famous movie Transformers that featured a model of the Saleen Mustang. The S281 was drove by one of the characters, called Barricade. In the movie, the Saleen Mustang was a police car, but instead of having ’911′ written on the back bumper, it had ’411′. Due to the success of Transformers, the popularity of the Saleen Mustang rose again and the demand for it began to increase. There is no doubt thus that Saleen Mustang is a car that made history and that will remain forever in the hearts of the car lovers.
