You are bidding on a 1989 SALEEN SSC. This car was purchased October 1, 1999 from the original owner with only 16,199 miles on it. It has been garaged since the day it left the dealers showroom. Since that date, it has been kept covered in a climate controlled garage and lovingly cared for. Today the car has 33,900 miles on the chassis and the new motor has only 350 miles on it. It has never been exposed to, or driven in the rain or snow. It has never been raced, abused in any way, or been in an accident. The car does not leak or burn any oil. It has been changed 3 times since the new motor was installed. Thanks to Big Daddy Performance of Lakewood, NJ for making this car what it is today! Due to a non paying bidder with 0 feedback, I have listed this car for sale again. Please do not bid unless you are a serious buyer and are prepared to complete the transaction! PLEASE NOTE: The Reserve Price, as well as the Buy It Now price have both been reduced to offset the shipping costs to the Buyer. Steve Saleen manufactured 160 SSC’s in 1989 and this one is number 53/160. It is VIN # 1FABP41E3KF227372. The SSC was only manufactured in 1989 and is a true collectable for the serious Mustang enthusiast. The car was professionally modified as a one of a kind road race machine. It was built to put out in excess of 900hp and was then de-tuned to 750hp at the rear wheels, in order to be driven on the street. This car is not for the faint hearted, and driving it is truly an awesome experience that words can’t describe! I am selling the car for my brother, who has recently had a double knee replacement and is unable to drive the car any longer. The work that has been done on this car includes, but is not limited to the following items (the list is more extensive than what I have mentioned here): Brakes and Wheels: Front Brakes: Baer 13” cross drilled/slotted ventilated rotors with 6 piston Alcon calipers. · Front Tires: Bridgestone Potenzas 245/45/17 with virtually no wear. Front Wheels: 17” Cobra R’s, sandblasted and powder coated to match the original Saleen wheels. Rear Brakes: Baer 12” cross drilled/slotted ventilated rotors with Baer single caliper touring package. Rear Tires: Bridgestone Potenzas 265/40/17 with virtually no wear. Rear Wheels: 17” Cobra R’s, sandblasted and powder coated to match the original Saleen wheels. The Baer brakes were installed before Baer sold Alcon back in 2001 and there are less than 5,000 miles on them. We were looking over the receipts for just the Baer system alone and 10 years ago, the cost to buy and install them was $5,500.00! Here are the links to the photos of the front and rear Baer calipers, along with the Baer brake adjustment control unit under the hood: http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae142/fishfolks/DSC04814.jpg http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae142/fishfolks/DSC04816.jpg http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae142/fishfolks/DSC04823-1.jpg Chassis/Suspension: Koni yellow adjustable front struts.

Job Spetter and Mike from Big Daddy Performance tuned the DFI ingnition system and Dynoed the car at Super Street Performance in Farmingdale, NY on 08/02/2009 showing maximum hp at the rear wheels at 749 and maximum tourque at 668 ft. lbs. This is the real deal and proves the vehicle is putting out the stated horse power and an incredible amount of torque!: http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae142/fishfolks/DynoSheet.jpg Interior: Auto Meter Pro – Comp Ultra - Lite custom white face gauges. Factory Recaro leather seats. Factory 4 point roll cage. Hideaway Kenwood custom head unit. Custom upholstered rear speaker enclosure. Battery relocation kit with Optima red top battery.

The factory hood has since been modified to clear the supercharger and will be included with the car, as is the original factory sticker and Dyno sheet.

About Big Daddy Performance (quoted from their site): "Big Daddy Performance created by Dwayne Gutridge in 2003 and established in 2006 brings over 25 years of hardcore racing experience. Dwayne started building and racing cars in 1980 when he rebuilt his '71 Cougar, which had a 351c with a FMX Trans and a open 9 inch rear in it. Learning Fords from his dad Joseph Gutridge who always drove ford vehicles. Soon after Dwayne had rebuilt a 351c which was bored .040, SpeedPro pistons, anti pump up lifters Gapp And Roush kit, Ultradyne racing cam, Accel Motorsport distributor, Holley Strip Dominator intake, 780 carb, Hooker custom headers and Thrust mufflers, FMX was replaced with a C6 Trans, and 4:11 gears housed in a 9" rear with a 4 pin Detroit Locker rear. The little Cougar accelerated down the quarter 13.41@103 mph. After the USAF and graduating from PSI Institute for Digital Computer Repair, Dwayne decided to embark on his first love cars and started working for Ford as an apprentice in 1983 where he started R&R on engines and transmission within 6 months. It didn't take long and in 1988 he became a certified A Technician and in July 1989 became a certified Electronic Engine Control Specialist, which was followed by a certification in Advance Engine Performance in March of 1990. From the start of the 5.0 movement, Dwayne Gutridge has always been at the forefront of innovation and a large part of the Mustang movement. When he started his business Outrageous Mustangs in 1990 his goal was to become a leader in the sport. His legendary black 1988 Mustang GT incorporated the first 5 lug conversation kit by using rotors from the Lincoln Mark 7 and axles from a Ford Ranger truck. Dwayne developed his 5 lug conversation kit long before Ford Motorsports offered their conversion kit. Soon after purchasing his 1988 Mustang, Dwayne overhauled the engine to handle the additional horsepower of a Paxton Supercharger. This was the first Mustang with a supercharger on the East Coast. Outrageous Mustangs, Dwayne's performance shop, led the charge of centrifugal superchargers by becoming one of first dealers for Vortech Superchargers, selling kits to Dayton Ford and Downs Ford long before they became dealers themselves. Big Daddy and Outrageous Mustangs were the first to bring Extrude Honing to the forefront. "It was the secret to many of my early successes," Big Daddy admits. Also, the cost and time it takes to have a set of heads ported vs. extrude honing made it more cost-effective for racer's on a budget. Big Daddy also notes that while full hand porting was thought of as the way to make additional horsepower, many engines where over ported or over cammed. To prove the advantages, Extrude Hone Heads and Intake were used to power Big Daddy's record setting 89 Mustang LX into the record books, becoming the first car to run 7's on radial tires on January 29, 2004 a feat that was once believed to not be achievable."
