The annual Barrett-Jackson (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/barrett-jackson/) auction in Scottsdale, AZ is less than a month away, and car aficionados from around the country are already gearing up for the six-day collector car sell-a-thon. One of the vehicles up for grabs will be this custom widebody Mustang that we first told you about in August (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/08/16/galpin-auto-sports-building-widebody-mustang-that-will-sell-for/). At the time, this ponycar was a mere rendering, but since then Galpin has completed the Mustang and readied it for the auction in January.
Like several of the cars that cross the block, the proceeds from the sale of the widebody Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/) will be donated to charity, specifically the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (http://www.stjude.org/), thanks to the generosity of SPX, the company that financed the construction of the car. We're guessing there won't be any trouble finding eager bidders to donate their hard-earned cash, as this Mustang comes with a 700-horsepower supercharged 5.0-liter V8 between the front fenders, a red suede interior, custom PPG paint, a 1000-watt stereo and more.
You can read more about the Galpin widebody Mustang and the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in the press release after the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2011/12/29/galpin-widebody-mustang-ready-for-its-charity-auction-at-barrett/#continued), and be sure to look out for our live coverage of the Barrett-Jackson auction next month.Continue reading Galpin widebody Mustang ready for its charity auction at Barrett-Jackson (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/12/29/galpin-widebody-mustang-ready-for-its-charity-auction-at-barrett/)
