Amazing cars every week in their shop…

Only 19 ‘351’ swapped ‘97 convertibles were built by Saleen that model year.

Of course Ford offered 281-2V and 281-4V motors, but cool imho that Saleen offered the old skool torquey 351 that they started installing back in the ‘94 model year.

Great sounding car.

In 1996 or so, I was at a Ford Dealer in New Mexico as a kid with my dad (shopping for a truck) when there was a blue S351 speedster in the showroom. I was in awe. They just so happened to be delivering it to the new owner, an 18 year old whose dad had bought it for him. Being the precoscious child I was, I asked the new owner if he was excited about his impending ownership of the car I had been drooling over for the hour leading up to his arrival…I will never forget how completely NOT excited he was about the whole deal. I was totally flummoxed. I couldn’t believe how someone almost my age would not be beside themselves at the idea of driving that thing out of the showroom. Part of me wants to buy an S351 Speedster just to put a fitting end to that childhood memory, even if the ownership experience would likely never live up to what I imagined it would be as an early teen.

Speedtech ‘64 Chevelle build is finished…looks great on the road.

Super nice, but no damn way for $450k. Not in this lifetime or the next.

I was looking at the photos thinking how much I'd hypothetically love to have that car... then saw the listing price.

"wait, what?"

There's a 5k-mile 2016 ACR Extreme on BaT currently at $150k which seems a LOT more sane to me.

Fastest car I ever rode in as a teen was a friends 65 GTO. Had a 421 with an Edelbrock intake, Holley double pumper, Crane cam, Hooker headers, and a 4 speed with 4.11 gears. Destroyed several of the "fast" cars of the day. No idea what it actually ran in the 1/4 but to me it was a rocket. Always wanted one since.

Now you're just teasing me lol. :mock:

I know Syborg TT would opt for this instead of some fancy 20 footer paint job.

:P

It's funny, everyone loves the 65s. I prefer the 66 simply because the headlights are not slanted in the side profile. I just don't like the side profile of the 65s. 67s aren't bad but have too much chrome for me. That applies to the Chevelles, too. That silver one with the oversize ralley II's looks great though.

The 66/67's are so BIG. I've never measured them, but they look so long compared to the 65's.
