For the fifth straight year, Ford has delivered a special example of its iconic Mustang muscle car to be auctioned off at the annual EAA AirVenture aviation show taking place in July.
The latest version, based on a 2013 Ford Mustang GT, is a one-of-a-kind Red Tails Tuskegee Airmen Mustang, and all proceeds from its sale will go to support the EAA’s Young Eagles.
The special youth program aims to provide free introductory flight courses for thousands of young people while also teaching the value of hard work, personal responsibility and enhanced math and science skills.
All of the custom Mustangs auctioned off during past EAA AirVenture events have sold for six-figure sums, including one that went for $500,000, and we suspect the latest Red Tails version will do just as well.
Designed to honor the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American aviators in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II, the special Mustang is modeled after the P-51 Mustang fighter planes piloted by the Tuskegee Airmen, right down to its polished aluminum and silver chrome finish with red and yellow accents.
