Details

Serial #217 of a total production of 500 vehicles and basically brand-new. It has less than 250 original miles and comes with all of the books, paperwork and the Window Sticker. This is another very limited production series from the Saleen Team and is the only one to carry Parnelli's name. Furthermore, Saleen's version isn't exactly a Boss, as it's devoid of Boss decals. Saleen's 'Stang comes tattooed with another name, one that arguably carries more fame and cachet than Boss. The signature is none other than that of Parnelli Jones (literally, Parnelli signed the dashes of all 500), the legendary race car driver who, in addition to winning the Indy 500 and numerous Sprint Car, Stock Car and Baja Truck races, piloted a Boss 302 Mustang to the 1970 SCCA Trans-Am title, beating the likes of Mark Donohue, Dan Gurney, Sam Posey and George Follmer; all of which makes Parnelli Jones The Boss. In addition to Parnelli's Sharpie script on the metallic dash, the Saleen/Parnelli Jones Mustang comes with just about every Boss 302 cue from 1970. The nostalgic touches, applied in Irvine, consist of black side and hood stripes, the latter framing a functional Shaker Hood; a black decklid, rear spoiler and louvered rear window cover, as well as 19' Minilite-inspired alloy wheels. Of course, all the powertrain and chassis goodies are there, too, including a 3.73:1 rear end, a Tremec 5-speed manual, specially calibrated Saleen N2 dampers and linear-rate coil springs, a Watts linkage on the live rear axle, 14' slotted front brake discs with four-piston calipers, and the requisite 302/400hp, 24-valve Ford Modular V8 replete with forged-aluminum pistons and forged steel connecting rods and crankshaft. 2007 Saleen/Parnelli Jones Limited Edition Mustang. From the Jack Miller Mustang Barn Collection.
