This is kinda a “Did You Know” post of sorts as I came by a rare 2007 Saleen Parnelli Jones Mustang for sale the other day. As you probably know all 500 Parnelli Jones Mustangs were painted Grabber Orange with the exception of one. This rare Parnelli Jones Mustang Mustang has a build number of 373. This was the only Parnelli Jones Mustang produced in black making this car a very rare one-of-a-kind Saleen. Why did they only produce one in black, your guess is as good as mine but I am sure there is a good story behind it.
The car was for sale at Ron’sToyBox.com for $46,995 but the ad has been taken down.
I dont know if this is the same numbered vehicle but according to this blog, the black parnelli jones saleen was actually done by a dealership. Heres the link: http://blogs.mustangandfords.com/6268608/editorials/pj-saleen-becomes-one-of-a-kind/index.html
That car came Grabber Orange and the dealer didn’t think the car would sell that color. Dumb right. So he painted it and know here it sits. All 2007 Parnelli Jones mustangs came from Saleen grabber orange. I own one know and have had before and had done extensive research on the cars.Love them.
I have number 370 and it is Orange! Up until this story I had not heard of any in any other color! It is my favorite Mustang of all of them that I have owned over the last 40 years!
