Well, it isn't that I wouldn't love to have your car, but the one I'm after is the drag car, SAAC XD-1.

Re: 1989 Mustang Salesmen SSC recommendations
 

Little update here. After evaluating the all the cars we were considering, Charley's SAAC Mustang was the stand out for my buddy Anthony.

It was a bit of an ordeal for an anxious new owner, but Charley couldn't have been cooler. Even needed to get a little assistance from Stefano and Nickey Chicago. I really have to thank them both for such a great experience and the car is everything we expected.

In comparison, some of the non-supercharged choices just seemed under powered and non of them had a tune anywhere near as smooth as this SAAC car.

The car has some really great history behind it, and I am surprised how more and more seems to keep surfacing.

Also wanted to thank Tony "Old 5.0" for his perspective and help with learning just why the SAAC MkI Mustang was so significant.

a guy i worked for in the early 90's had a Cartech? Mustang.i guess they were a Mustang tuner as well as Saleen

i believe it was turbocharged,and not many were made.

that thing was scary fast

Nice looking ride. Congrats to the new owner!

Re: 1989 Mustang Salesmen SSC recommendations
 

Very cool. Charley always has cool stuff! Congrats to the new owner!

Re: 1989 Mustang Salesmen SSC recommendations
 

Thanks Mockingbird and Xplant... I am excited to be the new owner of the #004 MK1. Between the history behind it and the car itself, I am ecstatic. Thanks to Charley, Beth and Stefano, Tony and Paul....

Welcome Ironlung. How does she run?

Re: 1989 Mustang Salesmen SSC recommendations
 

I drove her for a total of one mile today.... Only got through 1st 2nd and 3rd. Runs strong, pulls hard, shifts crisp....It runs like brand new!! Hopefully get to put a few "get familiar" miles on her this weekend.

I had a '93 Canary Yellow Convert LX 5.0, back in '02. It had Saleen G-Trac Suspension, 4-pt bar, TFS Heads and Intake, 15lb intercooled Procharger, etc.....Eventhough I only drove it a few blocks,I think the MK1 could have gave that car a run for it's money

Yeah, the Cartechs were turbo'd. I've been looking for one of those, too, but the only one I've ever tracked down got turned into a tube frame drag car years ago...
