The specs say it comes with a custom MOMO 3-spoke steering wheel, but of course the pics show it just has the standard Ford 2-spoke and the work order has a zero for it. Makes me wonder if only the ones without cruise control got the MOMO wheel or they decided against the aftermarket wheel after checking out the cruise controls.

I forgot how fugly the cars and trucks were in the 80's.

The front ends not bad, but I dont care for it much at all, the bodykit looks horrible, the wheels are too small, and the engines stock!?

Maybe I read it wrong but I believe they said the engine was left stock??

This brings back memories...

Yes the Saleen Ranger had a 2.9 liter V6 in them...But I converted a couple of these[neither one in this good shape] way back in the mid 90's...Not the most powerful of Fords' engines...

One got a warmed over 5.0 liter with a Paxton and the other one got a 347 stroker and an Explorer rear end with disk brakes and LS differential...

The 140mph speedo cracks me up, the stock 85mph version was more than enough for that little motor.
