The 1987 Saleen was converted from the newly redesigned Ford Mustang base level LXs. The Saleen exterior features were modified - namely the rear decklid spoiler and front valance. Performance changes included four wheel disc brakes, five lug SVO rotors, heavy duty master cylinder, 8-inch wide rear tires, and an optional 3.55 rear for quick acceleration. Saleens were converted from Mustang hatchbacks and convertibles. One very special coupe was converted for Austin Craig who was the account manager for Ford. Competition versions won the SCCA Manufacturer's championship.
