1997 Ford Mustang Saleen Description

Excellent condition 1997 Mustang Saleen S281 Convertible. It is red and black with a black convertible top. This is a REAL SALEEN, vin # and badging match. This car is Number 077 out of 196 convertibles made in 1997. The title is a rebuilt title due to some front end damage but everything has been repaired and was given a rebuild title which is why I am not asking $15000+. This is NOT a stock car. It has had numerous upgrades and modifications to make this car handle better and increase Horsepower. Car has been garage kept for the last 5 years that I know of and was also garage kept by the previous owners. Due to changing gear ratios and wheel sizes ect. the odometer is NOT correct. and the trip counter does not work. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LISTING!

It is leather and in very good condition, however, the seats (especially the front seats do show their age)
Needs:-The Brakes need to be bled, They are still a little soft after all the upgraded brake work was done but I do not have the time or place to do it. The A/C needs to be charged. We have never used the A/C because it is rarely driven and when it is driven the top is down.
This Car is NOT for the novice driver. It can scare some and get out of hand very quickly.
The last owner had the car dynoed and said that it made around 300-350hp, however, I have no proof of that but after driving it have no reason to doubt this claim.
I am sure there are other things that have been upgraded on this car but this is all I can think of at this time. This car has been my project / toy for the last 5 years and is only driven about 5-10 times per year. My kids started college this year and I do not have the time nor desire to play with this toy anymore.
*Cash Only buys the car* I will not meet with an "agent" to sell the car*
*I do not want to trade for another car*
*I do not need help selling this car, SO DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR THAT PURPOSE!*
The car is listed for sale in TN locally and will be pulled off the ebay listing if sold.
