Ford has donated a one off special edition Mustang, named the "AV8R" after the legendary P-51 aircraft. The car will be auctioned off at the 2008 Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture Oshkosh. The event expects 650,000 visitors and 2,500 aircraft. Chuck Yeager, Jack Roush, Harrison Ford, John Travolta, Morgan Freeman are all scheduled to appear at the event.
The car is painted in a satin silver with black accents. It has AV8R graphics adorning the sides and features bomber jacket inserts on the interior as well as Bullit style gauges and shift knob.
Performance enhancements include a complete suspension package along with a supercharger and special exhaust. Horsepower is estimated to be 400+. Another cool feature is the Air Force "star" embedded in the glass roof.
Proceeds from the AV8R’s auction will benefit the EAA’s Gathering of Eagles program, which provides scholarships for younger people interested in careers in aviation.
AirVenture Oshkosh is set to begin on July 28 and the auction is scheduled for July 31.
