Final 50 Year Limited Edition Mustang to be auctioned at Barrett Jackson for charity
Ford will be auctioning off the final 50 Year Limited Edition Mustang at this year’s Barrett-Jackson collector car auction in September in Las Vegas. The car will be number 1,964 of 1,964, commemorating the year the Mustang first debuted, and will be signed by Ford executives.
Proceeds for the car will go to the Get Your Heart Racing fundraising event, which supports the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute. The winner of the car auction will receive a VIP package and get to travel to the Ford EcoBoost 400 NASCAR race at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 16, where their car will be the pace car.
Every Limited Edition 50 Year Mustang will have a plaque on the instrument panel engraved with a serial number and the signature of Ford Chairman Bill Ford. Number 1,964 will also have the signatures of other Ford executives, and will be unveiled at the Get Your Heart Racing Pit Party on September 12 in Detroit.
The limited edition Mustangs have unique chrome trim in the grille, side glass and tail lamps, and only come in either Wimbledon White or Kona Blue. The interior of the car will get special stitching and two-tone cashmere and black leather. Both a six-speed automatic and six-speed manual is available, and the 50 Year Limited Edition is the only Mustang that will be available this year with the automatic transmission and the performance pack.
