Special 2014 Mustang GT Going to Charity

BRIGHTON, Mich. - Ford has created a special 2014 Mustang GT that will go to auction for charity at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture Oshkosh event. This special Mustang was created for the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and is truly incredible.

With a 5.0-liter V8 engine that has been supercharged, this Mustang can go from 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds. It has custom 22-inch Forgiato wheels, sill plates, and unique puddle lamps that project the aircraft silhouette as opposed to the standard Mustang logo. It also has VIN 0001 meaning it's the first and only one of it's kind.

Although Ford has created special cars before, this special 2014 Mustang GT is going to charity. Expected to be auctioned off on August 1st, all proceeds from this auction will benefit the EAA Young Eagles Program which gives kids an opportunity to go flying. This program works to introduce young people to the aviation world, hoping to encourage them to continue with aviation as a career. Last time a Mustang was auctioned off for Charity was in 2008 and the final bid was for $500,000.

While this vehicle is one of a kind and only for auction, we do have a great selection of 2013 Mustangs that are sure to give you a one of a kind experience.
