This 2004 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 SC Convertible is a documented one of one example, confirmed by Saleen as the only 2004 S281 SC produced in this specific combination of colours and options. Powered by a supercharged 4.6 litre 280kW (375hp) V8 driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission, it is one of just 380 Saleen S281s built in 2004. The odometer currently displays 12,161km.

Founded by racing driver Steve Saleen in 1984, Saleen Autosport built its reputation developing high performance Ford Mustangs that combined factory reliability with genuine motorsport engineering. The S281 SC was the supercharged variant of the fourth generation S281, fitted with Saleen's Series IV Twin Screw intercooled supercharger, Racecraft suspension, quick ratio five-speed transmission, and a comprehensive aero package developed from Saleen's racing programme. The 2004 model year carried additional significance as both the 40th anniversary of the Ford Mustang and the 20th anniversary of Saleen, making it a landmark year for the marque. Of the 380 S281s built that year, this supercharged convertible with its specific combination of Oxford White exterior, Dark Charcoal interior, black graphics, chrome wheels, and the Anniversary Speedster Tonneau stands as a unique example within the production run.

The exterior is finished in Oxford White Clearcoat with black Saleen graphics and chrome five-spoke alloy wheels. The interior is trimmed in Dark Charcoal leather throughout, featuring Saleen sport seats with embroidered pony badging, a Saleen close ratio leather shift knob, Saleen 200mph white face gauges, Saleen performance driving pedals, and Saleen painted inserts and custom door panels. The Saleen Anniversary Speedster Tonneau is included. The car carries the SALEEN Queensland personalised registration plates and the original Villa Ford dealer plate surround is included with the sale.

Manufactured on 1 July 2004 and supplied new through Villa Ford in Orange, California, the car was personally imported to Australia by the original owner, who took delivery in Los Angeles in April 2005 and drove the car through California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada before shipping it to Brisbane in its own 20 foot container. The instrument cluster, ECU, and keys were sent to Saleen Canada for recalibration from miles to kilometres without zeroing the odometer, recording 4,103km at the time of Australian compliance. The right hand drive conversion was carried out by Maracoonda Automotive of Morayfield, Queensland, with the car road registered on 10 July 2006 under Queensland Transport compliance certificate No. A401032. A Team Saleen letter dated October 2005 confirms the car's production details and its registration in the Saleen Owner's Registry in the original owner's name. Since compliance, the car has been maintained by the seller, a qualified mechanic, to a documented schedule.

The seller advises the car presents in excellent condition throughout, reflecting its 12,161km from new. The accompanying documentation package is comprehensive and includes the original Saleen window sticker, Saleen owner's handbook and supplement, Ford scheduled maintenance guide, Ford owner's manual, Villa Ford purchase contract, California DMV registration certificate, California Certificate of Title, California licence plate 5LMY377, Villa Ford and Saleen dealer plate surround, Saleen key fob, Maracoonda Automotive import and RHD conversion invoices, Queensland Certificate of Modification, RAWS compliance documentation, initial Queensland Safety Certificate, and Queensland registration renewal notices.
