All convertible Saleens were converted from LX Mustang models. They all had factory 5. 0 L V 8 engines with optional supercharger. five-speed manual transmission. this car was imported into Australia in 1998 and right hand drive converted for a lady who also had the supercharger removed. It changed hands in 2002 and has been owned by the same owner since and been part of a car collection in Victoria. The original supercharger was sold and fitted to a race car and has had a replacement one fitted.
