In an effort to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, Ford has just created a special edition of the 2014 Mustang GT. The car will be auctioned off at the Gathering of Eagles charity event on August 1st during the Ford-sponsored Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture Oshkosh 2013.
The exterior showcases a custom brilliant white paint with red and blue accents, as well as markings and logos, tying it to the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon aircraft. It rides on 22'' wheels.
Inside are a modified navigation screen, instrument cluster and rear seat-delete. The Recaro seats include embroidered Thunderbirds elements, while puddle lamps project the aircraft silhouette when the doors open. Brembo brakes, a modified suspension, and a supercharger complete the package.
All proceeds from the car donation and sale will benefit the EAA Young Eagles program, which has provided free introductory flights to more than 1.6 million young people since 1992.
