This 2007 Saleen Mustang 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-save for the obvious one-each tastefully performed on Grabber Orange Mustang GTs that, following arrival at Saleen's Irvine facility from Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan, assembly plant, are completely stripped down and rebuilt to Saleen's specs. 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; and 19-inch Minilite-inspired alloy wheels. Of course, all the powertrain and chassis goodies are there, too, including a 3.73:1 rearend, a Tremec five-speed manual, specially calibrated Saleen N2 dampers and linear-rate coil springs, a Watts Linkage on the live rear axle, 14-inch slotted front brake discs with four-piston calipers, and the requisite 302-cubic-inch, 24-valve Ford modular V-8 replete with forged-aluminum pistons and forged-steel connecting rods and crankshaft.
Experience the beautifully coordinated orange and black racing-style seats which envelop the driver and the passenger. Grip the steering wheel, grab the special Limited Edition gear shift knob, view the integrated twin gauge pod that reflects oil pressure and temperature, and vintage instrumentation panel with its black background and white characters.
The heart of the Parnelli Jones Edition is its Boss 302 engine, the high compression engine transforms a normal drive into an exciting thrill ride. In place of the 4.6-liter SOHC V8 of lesser 'Stangs, the PJ has a true 302. It starts out as a 4.6, but Saleen strokes and bores it to make it a Five-Point-Oh. They also add; Saleen Powerflash Performance Calibration. Saleen 2 1/2" performance dual exhaust system. Dual stainless steel exhaust tips. Saleen power pulleys and SFI approved damper. Saleen design shaker hood intake with hi-flow inlet tube and air box cover. Saleen forged aluminum pistons. Saleen forged steel connecting rods. Saleen ported aluminum cylinder heads with performance springs. Saleen performance camshafts. Saleen performance air filter. Saleen 5-speed manual transmission. Saleen close-ratio shifter. Saleen lightweight aluminum flywheel. Saleen 8.8" differential with 3.73:1 gear ratio.
Saleen only built 500 of these special editions, and half were sold before production began in late 2006. Inspired from Parnelli's original 1970 Boss 302 Mustang, the 'Saleen/Parnelli Jones Limited Edition' lives and breathes all things inherently Parnelli --- and all things Saleen.
