Earlier this month we showed you the one-off Blue Angels Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/06/blue-angels-themed-mustang-to-be-auctioned-off-at-eaa-airventure/) built by Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) for this year's EAA AirVenture (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/eaa+airventure/). The car features a unique blue chrome paint scheme and hand-painted graphics done by Creations n' Chrome (http://www.creationsnchrome.com/), along with plenty of Ford Racing Performance Parts goodies, an interior styled after the Blue Angels pilot suit, and beautiful HRE 590RS wheels.
The Blue Angels Mustang was not only built to celebrate 100 years of U.S. Naval aviation, but to raise money for the EAA Young Eagles program as well. It did just that at the EAA charity auction Thursday evening, commanding a high bid of $400,000. In addition to the car, the winning bidder also received a Blue Angels flight helmet signed by all of the current pilots.
You can read more about the car and the auction in Ford's PR after the jump, or browse through our photos of the car in the gallery below.Continue reading Blue Angels Mustang raises $400,000 for charity (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/31/blue-angels-mustang-raises-400-000-for-charity/)
