A RARE SIGHT!

A rare sight! 3 Parnelli Jones Saleens together!
The first of the PJ Saleens have arrived at the Artarmon showroom. The interest in these unique Mustangs is overwhelming and the first three have already been sold. With a total production of only 500 vehicles (the first 15 being retained by Saleen and Parnelli Jones), the fortunate owners have secured a true collectible icon.

Saleen builds PJs from complete Mustang GTs, so the new engines must be removed, torn down, rebuilt, and reinstalled at Saleen's Irvine headquarters. The engines are removed about midway down the Saleen assembly line, and a new PJ engine is immediately installed in its place.

To reach 400 hp, Saleen needed more air than the stock underhood air filter, and developed the Shaker hoodscoop assembly from the Mach 1 into a functional unit.

With 400 naturally aspirated hp, the PJ is a feisty customer.
