Model Information
In 2007, Saleen and American Racing Legend, Parnelli Jones, created a limited-edition version of the Mustang in its Irvine, California factory commemorating Parnelli's 1970 SCCA Ford Mustang Boss 302 racer. Though often called the Parnelli Jones BOSS S302, it was designed to pay homage to the legendary 1970 Boss 302 that Parnelli Jones had raced and won back in the Trans Am series against Javelins, Camaros and Cudas. This limited-production Mustang comes with a stroked out version of the stock Mustang GT 281 c.i. engine, making it a 302 cid 3-valve aluminum V8, with 400 hp (300 kW) and 390 lb·ft (529 N·m) of torque. On the outside, the S302 features a new front fascia, MACH I "Shaker" hood, rear window louvers, rear deck wing, hockey shaped side stripes, and custom edition wheels. Other special performance enhancements to this car include a special Watts-Link suspension unique to the 1970 Boss Mustang used by Parnelli Jones. Each unit was personally signed by Parnelli Jones and Steve Saleen on the center dash. The Limited Production Run was only 500 cars.
This very special Mustang is one of the best examples of this limited edition car in existence. Only 500 examples were made and this car is #160. The Mustang is painted in the historic Grabber Orange with black racing stripes similar to the 1970 Boss Mustang successfully raced by Parnelli Jones. The car was purchased new at the Ford dealership in Pikeville, KY as its only allotment. From there it was trailered to the storage garage where car has been driven weekly for one mile or so. All 581 miles have been for this careful maintenance. It has never ever been raced though it is itching to. The car remains as original as possible. All original paperwork is included, complete with window sticker and photos of it being built in the factory in California from a stock Mustang GT. The floor mats, owner’s manual and many other items with the car are also included. A few extra ordered racing number decals are still in packaging. This car is as new as you would want it to be after 6 years it. The front bumper remains undrilled for the license plate holder. The car’s paint and interior are in new condition with no blemishes. I am sure the car has a clean carfax and autocheck. This is a true collector vehicle where FEW remain with such low mileage. It is one of the finest.
Vehicle is also listed for sale locally. Seller reserves the right to withdraw item at any time

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
