Saleen Gurney Edition Mustang arrives at dealers
Click above for high-res gallery of the Dan Gurney SS Mustang's arrival
It's been just a few months since Saleen announced its Dan Gurney Signature Series Mustang at the New York Auto Show in April, but the limited edition Mustang has already hit showroom floors. Apparently the car at the show was fairly production ready, although we heard that Gurney spent the last few months helping fine tune the suspension just the way he wanted it. According to Saleen, he still would be if they had let him. In addition to the specially tailored suspension settings, the Gurney Edition also features unique bodywork, graphics and interior as well as lightweight 19-inch wheels and Saleen's supercharged V8 pushing out 465 horsepower. We attended a kick-off party at Galpin Ford in Van Nuys, CA where Dan Gurney was on hand to show off the car and sign autographs. We were also able to take a closer look at the car so we could choose which of the three color schemes we like best, but we're still undecided. A high resolution gallery is below that should help you decide for yourself.

Geez, can you limited to one Mustang news per day?
That's not asking too much, is it?

Sorta silly to limit news based on content, isn't it?
"War broke out in Europe today, as..."
"Wait guys, we already had a story about the war in Iraq, let's hold off on this until tomorrow"
Seriously, they'll post other stories.

Man that is ugly. Especially the blue splitter on the white car.

That's a cool stang. I would paint the front splitter so it matched the rest of the car.

Wow, a custom Mustang version. I'll add it to the list of 45 other limited-editions of Mustang that were announced in the last 15 minutes.

Everyone says that they are so tired of reading about special edition Mustangs (3/4 of witch arn't even put out by Ford) but no one misses a chance to put the same comments on every post.

Hey, guys who don't like the Mustang articles, heres an idea:
Keep scrolling down to avoid the message and don't waste your time replying with "OMG an0thr rustang, total bucket of fail"
I think everybody only WISHES that their car of choice came in this many versions.

I like them. I would never spend as much as they are probably asking on a Mustang though.

I've seen that #2 Gurney being driven everyday up and down Bake Pkwy here in Irvine. I know Saleen's HQ is nearby, but I thought it was a one off. heh. go fig.
Having seen it in person and rolling, its very good looking.

Kick-off party for Gurney Edition?
Was there champagne a-spraying? THAT would have been the only way to launch such a car, especially since The Man, himself, was there.
Special bonus points if A.J. (no, not Allmendinger) had been there.

This seems to be the best looking of all the Mustang recreations. But it sure isn't cheap. $70,000 plus !!
I recently drove the Bullitt and it's no bullet. I'm sure Saleen took care of that. The Bullitt was about as fast as a G35..for the record. But it sounded good.

the reason there are so manny mustang versions is because everyone has this car, and many people like the car but they do not like the fact that everyone has it, so some people make it better and a different so that you can all get the mustang you like.

I'm waiting for the Aldi edition. That would be a much cheaper buy.

Special Editions of the Mustang go back as far as the car itself. There have always been California Specials, Mach 1's, Boss', Cobra's, GT350-500.
It's nothing new and it's part of the Mustang culture.
