Borrowed from the seventies are the restyled rear window louvered sport slats, which is an essential part of the overall styling.
Saleen Racecraft Suspension
Keeping with both Steve Saleen's and Parnelli's race ancestry, the Limited Edition is designed utilizing Saleen's own precision suspension. However this all new, yet classic Watts-Link suspension is derived from racing and performance applications, and offers the purest in race-type handling. The superior springs, shocks and swaybars provide even greater performance capabilities enabling the tires to remain firmly on the road even in extreme cornering.
Rounding off the Limited Edition are the Minilite-style 19"x9" front and 19"x10" rear racing wheels which prominently display the Saleen / Parnelli Jones Limited Edition center cap, which reflects the cool racing heritage from which they were bred. The car is outfitted with high-performance Pirelli 275x40x19 front, and 285x40x19 rear tires, and offers race-car-like stopping with Saleen 14" brakes.

Feel the Spirit
"Parnelli Jones is an extraordinary example of a legend maker. Even after nearly four decades, his abilities and visions for the sport has very few equals. I anticipate that Parnelli's racing spirit will come alive in every Saleen / Parnelli Jones Limited Edition that we manufacture. Capping on our motto, 'Power in the Hands of a Few,' we will produce a limited number - up to only 500 - in honor of Parnelli winning the Indy 500 in 1963," said Steve Saleen.

Inspired from Parnelli's original 1970 Boss 302 Mustang, the 'Saleen / Parnelli Jones Limited Edition' lives and breathes all things inherently Parnelli - and all things Saleen!
