This 2008 Ford Mustang Saleen Dan Gurney Edition embodies the spirit of its namesake's 1967 Le Mans victory. With reports suggesting fewer than 70 units produced, it's as rare as Gurney's champagne-spraying celebration atop the podium. This supercharged pony car commands respect and is cloaked in striking blue paint reminiscent of Gurney's All-American Racers livery. Its aggressive stance is amplified by 19"" MMR wheels wrapped in massive 295/30R19 front and 325/30ZR19 rear tires, providing a footprint worthy of Gurney's Le Mans-winning Ford GT40. A Saleen body kit with Tasca 590 effects and a #58 chin spoiler - a nod to Gurney's Indy car number - add to its muscular presence, while hood pins give it that extra touch of racing authenticity.
Step inside, and you're transported to a cockpit that blends luxury with the focused intensity of Gurney's Indy 500 machines. Black leather seats with suede center sections offer style and support, ready for high-speed cornering or cruising down the boulevard. The dashboard houses Saleen-specific gauges, providing crucial performance data at a glance - just like the instruments Gurney relied on during his four Indy 500 victories. A Gurney Eagle emblem adorns the center of the steering wheel, a constant reminder of the racing legend's successful car manufacturing venture. Steve Saleen's signature adds another layer of motorsport pedigree to this exclusive ride.
Lift the hood, and you'll find an engine that channels Gurney's innovative spirit at Daytona. The 4.6-liter V8, supercharged by Saleen, delivers a neck-snapping performance worthy of Gurney's Daytona-winning cars. The engine bay showcases power and precision, featuring a Tasco racing mass airflow system and meticulous wiring that would impress even Gurney's eagle-eyed mechanics. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a slick-shifting 5-speed manual transmission and a Ford 8.8"" rear end with a 3.73 gear ratio, providing acceleration that evokes memories of Gurney's lightning-fast starts at Daytona. The suspension has been upgraded with Saleen coilovers and rear panhard bars, ensuring this Mustang handles the curves with the same aplomb Gurney showed on road courses. Bringing this powerhouse to a halt are power disc brakes on all four corners, offering stopping power that would've made Gurney proud.
