Saleen Ready With 2024 Mustangs
By Evan J. Smith
In Honor of April 17th, which is widely known as the Birthday of the Ford Mustang, Saleen Automotive, the Southern California vehicle manufacturer founded in 1983 by legendary racing driver and vehicle builder, Steve Saleen, gives the public a glimpse of its upcoming 2024 302 model.
As Saleen Automotive celebrates its 40th year of business, it’s also celebrating the 59th birthday (April 17, 1964) of America’s favorite pony car; the Ford Mustang. In fact, NMRA will help Steve Saleen celebrate his storied company at the upcoming NMRA 25th Anniversary Ford Homecoming in Norwalk, Ohio June 8-11.
“We participated in the Mustang Stampede last fall and drove from the LeMay Museum (Tacoma, WA) to Detroit to commemorate the unveiling of the new Mustang,” said Steve Saleen. “We were all excited for the debut, and when Ford unveiled it, we liked what we saw! We immediately started the design process back at our Southern California headquarters.”
Based off the S650 Mustang, Saleen plans to offer three models; a White Label with a minimum of 500 hp, Yellow Label with a minimum of 750 hp, and a top-of-the-line Black Label that will exceed 800 hp!
In addition to increased performance, all Saleens will get the latest Racecraft® suspension, improved aerodynamics and braking, along with upgraded, custom interior. The Saleen designed tonneau cover with dual-hoop, carbon fiber-style bar that debuted on the SA-40 model, will also be available for upcoming convertible models.
NMRA fans can look forward to meeting Steve, his team and seeing the latest Saleen vehicles at the NMRA 25th Anniversary Ford Homecoming that will also feature the Foxbody Reunion, 55th Anniversary of the Cobra Jet, 30th Anniversary of SVT and much more.
