2010 Hurst Ford Mustang Pace Car - Click above for high-res image gallery
Ford (http://autoblog.com/make/ford) and Hurst have a long and illustrious history of working together to create special edition Mustangs (http://autoblog.com/model/mustang), and the latest fruits of their labor can be seen in our high-res image gallery below. The 2010 Hurst Mustang Pace Car (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/01/2010-hurst-mustang-to-serve-pace-duties-for-ford-racing-mustang/) will make its first official appearance during the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge race that will be held at Virginia International Raceway on April 25, 2010.
There will only be one 2010 Hurst Mustang Pace Car, and it will make appearances at the Hot Rod Power Tour, a slew of Larry H. Miller dealerships and finally at the SEMA Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/sema/) in Las Vegas before being auctioned off next January. Proceeds from the car's sale will benefit the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer. A hot Mustang convertible for a worthy cause... what's not to like?
Though you won't be able to march into your local Ford dealership and drive off in a new Hurst 'Stang, you will be able to get "promotional items" inspired by the car... including 'skins' for pinewood derby racers. Sadly, the miniature version won't be sporting the full-size car's polished 20-inch wheels, Hurst shifter or 550-horsepower supercharged V8 engine. What they will have in common, though, is the iconic black and gold Hurst color scheme. See below for images and click past the break for the press release.
