Roush 1993 Shelby SAAC MKII Mustang

[89 Saleen#455]

By show of hands, how many foxbody Saleen owners would sell their cars to buy this vehicle?

I'm giving it some serious thought.....

I think that red vert is neat but I would sell andy foxbody Saleen for it.

Rare, but....... You know. Not a foxbody Saleen.

aside from the fact its 300hp...its hugely ugly...the wheels, the interior, the stripes...i'd have to pass

I am surprised it is not getting much play at all. Personally I like the '92s. A neighbor has one that I would love to trade my '93 for, but no dice.

If you look closely at some of the pics, the owner did not do a good job of storing the car. The wheels are in terrible shape, look closely at the boot area of the top, damn dirty in there.

Nice car but, won't have the collector value that the same year foxbody saleen vert wil have. Most are low mileage which helps their value. I have seen a black and gold one that I wanted. Quite a few were sold here in Ga at the local Saleen dealer. I remember looking at them setting in the back of the showroom.

I agree, the Black & Gold SAAC MKII Mustangs are positivly stunning. Bidding on this low miliage car escalated to $48K two years ago on Ebay without meeting reserve.

Don't get me wrong, the looks and the lines of a foxbody Saleen are great, but the overall performance package (GT-40 heads, cam, and intake) along with a very nice suspension set-up on the SAAC MKII is very tempting. Very similar ride and performance to the 1993 Cobra, but more rare and unique.

I remember reading the articles in Mustang Monthly, Super Ford & other publications when these SAAC Mustangs were first introduced back in the early 90's. Being a Saleen owner my first thought was that the club was merely attempting to exploit the market that Steve had already established; not unlike others @ the time such as Fittipaldi, BBK, Steeda, etc. who attempted to introduce specialty aftermarket Mustangs (I think I still have an old article that lists all of the specialty Mustangs from the period). Of course Steeda is the only one who has survived along with Roush who came several years thereafter.

The fact that the SAAC cars were initially available exclusively to club members only confirmed in my mind that this was a vanity project on the part of the club's hierarchy.

Yes, they featured engine modifications that the standard Saleens didn't offer, but for the price premium the SAAC's were demanding, a Saleen owner could have installed the same components. Not to mention the fact that despite the aftermarket wheels & bodyside stripes, the SAAC's looked too much like a standard Mustang GT.

No thanks.

The only thing unique about the car is the 17in custom Simmons wheels. Other than that you are getting a GT covertible with some GT40 motor goodies.

I wouldn't take two of these for my fox Saleen vert.

That's like calling a Saleen an LX with a body kit. I personally think the Saleen verts are much nicer cars but the SAAC cars bascially had very similiar mods to the Saleens with engine mods to boot. More power, 5 lug 4 wheel disc, suspension upgrades, etc. Cool cars but I just don't see the SAAC cars being big collector items becaure they were never sold through dealers.
