Ford is making a habit of creating unique aviation-themed Mustangs and auctioning them off as part of the world's greatest annual aviation celebration in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
This year, the automaker pays tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African American aviators in the United States Army Air Corps. The Ford Mustang Red Tails Edition has a VIN of #00051 in honour of the P-51 Mustangs flown by the Tuskegee Airmen during WWII.
The exceptional paint job of polished aluminum and silver chrome is decorated with red and yellow accents. There's a 2.3L Ford Racing engine under the hood, custom 20'' Forgiato wheels, a distinctive front grille, and Recaro race seats with embroidered "Red Tails" logo. The rear seat was removed to emphasize the cockpit environment.
The auction will take place on July 26th and proceeds will go to the Experimental Aircraft Association's Young Eagles Program.
