This is a 2001 Mustang Saleen S-281 Cobra convertible. That's a mouthful! This is a factory Saleen converted from an SVT Cobra convertible. It is serial number 01-309. This is a pretty rare car. Saleen only converted six Cobra convertibles in 2001.

Same view, but the top is up. If I had this car the top would never be up, I'd drive it with the top down all the time.

Here is a close-up of the Saleen emblem on the front fender of this Saleen. The name "281" comes from the engine displacement. The 4.6L engine is equivalent to 281 cubic inches.
This Saleen has 18-inch Cobra R Wheels. The brake caliper even says Cobra.
I don't know if this is factory, but even the valve stem covers have the Cobra R logo.
The Saleen S-281 Cobra comes with the Cobra engine. It's a 4.6L V8 DOHC engine.
Here is the gray and black interior. It has the Mach 460 6-disc changer sound system.
The Vehicle Certification Tag or Data Plate can be found on the rear edge of the driver's side door. This one shows a build date of August 2001 and a paint color or YN which is silver.
True Blue 2001 Mustang SVT Cobra convertible with a two-tone tan interior and tan convertible top. The wheels are 18x10" in the front and 18x11" in the rear! It has the 4.6L V8 and a manual transmission.
The tan colored top is up on this True Blue 2001 Mustang SVT Cobra convertible.

In the rear we have the SVT spoiler, Cobra letters embossed in the rear bumper, an SVT emblem, and dual exhaust.
The interior is two-tone light tan and dark tan (almost a brown). I wonder if it's hard to keep clean?
The special Cobra seats are dark tan leather with lighter tan inserts. There is a Cobra Snake embroidered on the seat back.
This is the 2001 Mustang GT Bullitt hero promotional card. This car measures 8.5 by 11 inches and is folded to allow for 4 pages of print. Hero cards started with racing drivers and their cars and have been extended to promote sport cars from various manufacturers. This one features the first year of the Bullitt Mustang feature car which commemorates the 1968 fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the detective movie Bullitt, the scenes of which are shown at the top. In 2001, Highland Green was reserved only for this model; although the 2001 Bullitt also came in Black and True Blue. The original 1968 movie Bullitt Mustang was painted in 1968 Highland Green.
The first inside page of the 2001 Mustang GT Bullitt promotional card shows all three colors (dark highland green, true blue, and black). Highland Green is a Ford color that goes back to 1926 but in a lighter shade. The darker color came out in 1968. This page also references the significance of the car chase which featured two hit-men in a black 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum and Steve McQueen as Detective Lieutenant Frank Bullitt driving the modified 1968 Mustang. Its an amazing sequence, especially considering the actual speeds of over 110mph and McQueen doing most of the driving.
The second inside page of the 2001 Mustang GT Bullitt hero card shows the options of the Bullitt over the GT premium coupe. The standard 4.6L 2001 GT V8 engine is enhanced with a cast aluminum intake manifold, optimized alternator and pump pulley ratios, and high flow mufflers for increased power and sound. Other performance upgrades include better handing and brakes, as well as different rear quarter windows, side scoops, brushed aluminum fuel door, Bullitt badging, upgrade dash gauges, brushed aluminum interior accents, and dark charcoal leather trimmed seats. The Bullitt upgrade was a $3695 option over the premium GT.
