As we close in on the 1h remaining mark, it’s a good time to remember what the Stallion Saber Afterburner really is…

Only a few thousand of these cars have ever been made and it became one of the icons of the late 80s. Having completed a fairly successful competition season in the 1987 edition of ASCAR in the hands of legendary Marc Donovan, racing for the infamous Fenske Racing team, it was decided that something needed to be done with it to cement the increased brand awareness. As the car culture was famous for saying: win on Sunday, sell on Monday.


The Stallion Saber ASCAR in racing form

True to the brand image of being an innovating company, Stallion called upon previous expertise gained in their experimentation with turbocharging technology in the early 80s done with PGI. In the quest to make a truly unique muscle car, the Saber Afterburner was styled as a coupe, given a turbocharged 2 valve inline 6 making over 330hp, a BorcWarmer T5 5 speed manual, one of their first cars with electronically controlled fuel injection and thus the result was a monumentally quick car. Despite this it retained classic muscle car traits like rear wheel drive, cheap running, large amounts of power and straight-line speed, a solid rear axle and an impressive ability to pull burnouts. It also served to improve the public perception of Stallion as a pioneering brand in the eyes of the people during times that are referred to as the malaise era of American motoring. This variant only sold between the end of 1987 and late 1990.
