Cars Showroom: Mustang AV-X10

ford_mustang_av-x10

Ford's rolling out one of what will likely be many 2010 Mustang special editions for an Experimental Aircraft Association fundraiser event this summer. It's a Planelopnik-themed Mustang AV-X10 paying homage to our past warbirds.

This is not the first time Ford's built an aviation themed Mustang for the EAA — last year they built the supercharged Mustang AV8R for the same group. This time around Ford has used the new glass roofed 2010 Mustang GT as a base, featuring the 10-millionth Romeo Engine Plant 4.6-liter V8 engine that has been given a Ford Racing 550 horsepower supercharger kit, FR500S performance exhaust, a short throw shifter and the Handling Pack with revised dampers, springs and anti-roll bar kit.
