1988 Ford Saleen Mustang Convertible

1988 Ford Mustang Description

1988 Saleen Mustang Convertible #378, documented and in registry. This car is an original CA mass air car. This is not a clone.

The tasteful modifications to the car were done by the previous owner with roughly 105K on it back in 2010/11. The car has had one repaint to my knowledge. I purchased the car in 2012. Now the car has approximately 125,000 miles. I only drive it on the weekends when it's not raining. This is a well-balanced car and is fun to drive. I get "thumbs up" and compliments every single time I take it out. The car is a head turner. No accident history to report, a clean Carfax report will be provided at time of sale. I am selling due to a career move and relocation. This car needs to go to an enthusiast who will drive and appreciate it. Please don'thesitate to reach me at 716-708-9290 Curt
