Galpin Auto Sports (http://autoblog.com/tag/galpin) has teamed up with specialty manufacturer SPX and Barrett-Jackson (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/barrett-jackson/) to create a custom widebody that will sell for charity early next year.
Inspired by the 1969 Boss 429, this Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/) features a hand-fabricated metal widebody kit that adds an incredible nine inches to the width of the car, functional side scoops above the rear wheels, and a functional hood scoop from an actual Boss 429. Under the hood is a Ford Racing supercharger system that boosts the 5.0L V8 to 700 horsepower. For the interior, Galpin added custom red suede and black leather seats and upholstery and a 1000-watt JLT audio system. To top it all off, the car is painted in a PPG Candy Apple Red hue.
The car is scheduled to make several appearances, including Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction and SEMA (http://www.autoblog.com/sema/) before going up for auction at the Barrett-Jackson (http://autoblog.com/tag/barrett-jackson) Scottsdale auction in January, with the proceeds from the sale to benefit St. Jude Children's Hospital.
