Last year, Ford sold off the one-off Ford Mustang AV8R for $500,000 at the annual Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles festival. The money went to EAA's Young Eagles charity, a program that gives those under 17 the chance to fly in a general aviation craft.
This year, Ford builds another one-off custom Mustang call ‘AV-X10 Dearborn Doll’ for the event. People who want to bid on the Ford Mustang AV-X10 can do so between July 27 and August 2 at the 2009 EAA Air Venture Oshkosh fly-in convention.
The AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" Mustang utilizes the 2010 Mustang GT with Glassroof option as the platform base with performance modifications coming from Ford Racing, including a 550hp (410kW) supercharger kit, a high-flow FR500S exhaust system, a short throw shifter, a new handling package featuring dampers, lowering springs and an anti-roll bar. The car rides one inch lower than a stock Mustang GT, and uses a 550 hp 4.6-liter 24-valve aluminum engine, which is the 10-millionth powerplant built at Ford’s Romeo facility.
As for the exterior, it’s influenced by the World War II-era P-51 Mustang aircraft. The car is painted in Satin Silver, added a yellow nose and rear wing, and changed the wheels to Shelby's 19-inch model meant for the GT500. The wheels were painted in liquid silver with yellow propeller tips. One of the coolest features is that the Glass roof is even treated to an abstract translucent star and bars scheme for added effect.
Continuing with an Air Force look, the engineers added a Bader leather interior with a worn look, diamond-tucked seat and door inserts, and a unique instrument cluster.
"Ford Motor Company has been a committed partner of EAA throughout the years and especially during AirVenture, where Ford's support has brought value to those who make ‘Oshkosh' the pinnacle of their aviation year," said EAA chair Tom Poberezny in a press release. "The generous creation of such specialty vehicles allows EAA to provide support to its valuable programs and dedicated members inspiring young people and building the future of flight."Source URL: http://carrevieeeew.blogspot.com/2009/07/ford-mustang-av-x10-to-be-auctioned-at.html
