New to 1984 was the Saleen Mustang where Steve Saleen took a stock Mustang GT and added his own suspension, brake, and body modifications. The engines remained stock. In 1984 he only modified three Mustangs - all hatchback GTs. They wore big 215/60 tires on 15x7 inch rims. They had custom front air dams, covered headlights, side skirts, and big decklid spoilers. The first ones only cost an additional $4,526 to the sticker price of the stock Mustang GT. Factory created Saleens (for all years) are serialized. They have their unique Saleen serial number on the driver's side front bumper, on a dash plaque on the center console, and on an under-hood plate riveted to the fender or firewall.
