Saleen was best known for working on custom Ford Mustangs before unveiling the S7 supercar
The S7 rocks a 7.0-liter naturally-aspirated V8 with 550 hp. Despite this Saleen 's age, it's been driven just 1,880 miles. The naturally-aspirated S7 has a claimed top speed of 220 mph.
Built between 2000 and 2009, the Saleen S7 was one of the few mid-engined supercars to come out of America and actually make a dent in international motorsport, including the FIA GT Championship. Now one of those rare cars is up for sale, and it has a Hollywood pedigree to match its racing bloodline. The late Paul Walker once owned this 2003 Saleen S7.
How long it stayed in his collection isn't clear, and despite his well-documented love of driving, the odometer suggests he didn't put many miles on it himself. The car shows just 1,880 miles today, which is a remarkable figure for a 23-year-old American supercar.

Vehicles that sit idle for extended periods have parts that can degrade over time, and things can be particularly bad if it’s only been driven for short, infrequent trips, with sludge potentially building up on the engine. The listing also fails to mention what kind of routine maintenance the car has undergone.
A Time Capsule RPExotics With this being said, given that it was owned by Walker and likely other car enthusiasts since him, there’s a good chance it’s been maintained. It certainly looks pristine, with the silver paint showing no obvious wear or imperfections. It’s a similar story in the interior, which also looks fresh, while admittedly looking rather antiquated and basic. Of course, no one will buy an S7 for the fit and finish of the cabin.
Instead, this car is all about performance. Powering the base model is a 7.0-liter naturally aspirated Ford V8 churning out 550 hp, enough for a claimed top speed of 220 mph . With a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, it’s bound to be an absolute hoot to drive quickly. Early-2000s supercars had a habit of feeling completely unfiltered, and the S7 still comes across like a Le Mans car that accidentally ended up with license plates.
Add the Paul Walker connection, and this thing was never going to stay obscure. Check out the listing here. RPExotics
