Ford debuts AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" Mustang


Last year at the Experimental Aircraft Association's Gathering of Eagles charity auction, a one off Mustang dubbed the AV8R brought in good money and lots of attention. So this year, we have yet another special version set to cross the block.

The 2010 AV-X10 Mustang features a star-and-bar glass roof, GT500 19" wheels, a GT500 rear spoiler, and GT500 lower rear fascia. it's trimmed out in a World War II fighter-inspired paint scheme. Orange trim fore and aft, a white "AV-X10" tail stripe, and "Dearborn Doll" fuselage pinup art set this auction pony apart visually. (There's even orange "propeller tip" trim on the wheel rims between their split-spoke pattern, too.)

Under the hood, the 4.6L has been modified with the Ford Racing Performance Parts 550-horsepower supercharger kit. Other go fast mods include an FR500S exhaust, and FRPP's Handling Pack. Inside it features a short-throw shifter, unique aircraft-themed instrumentation, custom bomber-jacket leather, and a special aluminum dash pattern.
