| Ford "Red Tails" Mustang For the fifth straight year, Ford Motor Company has created a one-of-a-kind, aviation-themed vehicle for auction to benefit the EAA Young Eagles program. The "Red Tails" Mustang honors the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American aviators in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. It will be on display inside the Ford Hangar during AirVenture. Vehicle Specifications: - One-of-a-kind exterior paint – polished aluminum/silver chrome with red and yellow accents - Ford Racing 2.3L Whipple Super Charger and Handling Pack - GT500 Brembo Brakes, Rotors, Rear Diffuser and Performance Quad Exhaust - “Non-standard” valance, grill, splitter, and rocker extensions - Forgiato 20” custom wheels - Custom Recaro race seats including embroidered “Red Tails” logo - Rear seat removed to accentuate cockpit environment and cross brace added - Custom IP badging, sill plates, seat belts, floor mats, and “Red Tails” projected from the puddle lamps ------------------------------ From the Editor-at-Large of CarProperty.com, Robert "BC" Cross: Every year, we look forward to seeing the latest Ford Mustang customized to look like a famous plane for EAA AirVenture, the giant general-aviation celebration in Oshkosh, Wis. This year certainly doesn't disappoint -- a 2013 Ford Mustang sports car made to look like a P-51 Mustang fighter. For Oshkosh, Ford has created a one-of-a-kind "Red Tails Edition" Mustang, paying homage to the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American aviators in the U.S. Army Air Corps. As always, it will be auctioned to benefit the EAA's Experimental Aircraft Association Young Eagles Program. EAA, or Experimental Aircraft Association, will hold the auction July 26. The timing on this year's Red Tail Mustang couldn't be better. The exploits of the Tuskegee Airmen were featured last year in the movie Red Tails and it's a great DVD rental for you and your family. This movie is being talked about by people who love planes. The 2013 Mustang will carry a vehicle identification number of #00051 to further cement the connection to the P-51s. To get the right look, the Red Tail Mustang will be painted in silver with red and yellow accents. Past Ford Mustangs have been dressed up as an SR-71 spy plane and one of the exhibition fighters of the Navy's Blue Angels. |
