Default WTB: 2002-04 Beryllium Coupe

If anyone knows where a beryllium coupe is for sale please let me know. I am not sure what others are out there besides 02-07.

There were three Beryllium coupes produced during the New Edge era. This color was offered from 2002-04 on this body.

Your issue will be, Saleen produced three coupes with this custom color. All where 2002 model year Mustangs. Two were Extreme series, one was an S281 NA.

As you know, one of the Extreme coupes was wrecked and scrapped years ago. So, you are looking for one of two.

For a comparison, 11 convertibles were produced from 2002-04 in this color.

02-60 was totaled. 02-07 is not for sale right now. That was the two extremes. We currently own 07-80.

Yes we almost bought the speedster for sale, but of the 20 something rides we own none are convertibles. We are just not vert people I guess.

If my memory is correct, this Extreme was purchased from dealer stock, with a discount. Owner took vehicle in for service and Ford dealer technician went for a test drive and clobbered the car. I believe if you see photos of a New Edge Beryllium coupe with an aftermarket front stainless grill insert, it is this car.

Owner decided to wait for the S197 platform and create a replacement. Idea was for an early S197 Extreme in Beryllium. The owner dropped the custom paint option do to increase in pricing, then car was delayed over the availability of the announced 19" wheel option (which never saw production). I believe the replacement vehicle eventually became an 2006 S281 Extreme coupe in black with chrome 20" wheels. I believe vehicle was sold within a year or two.

It means naturally aspirated. Basically non-supercharged.
