" For five years Ford has produced unique Mustangs to be auctioned at the giant Air Venture aviation event in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Benefitting the Young Eagles program\u2014where youth are given introductory flights in private aircraft\u2014the Gathering of Eagles charity auction is hosted by the Experimental Aircraft Association which runs the Young Eagles program. James Slattery of San Diego, California stepped up with the winning $370,000 to drive away the one-off Mustang. Themed after the WWII &amp;quot;Tuskegee Airman&amp;quot; group of black aviators, the first such group in U.S. history, the modified 2013 Mustang GT features the distinctive red tail paint made famous by the Tuskegee Airman&amp;#039;s P-51 Mustang fighters, along with other obvious WWII markings. Inside, the VIN 00051 Mustang sports a rear-seat delete, Recaro front seats embroidered with the Red Tails logo, red inserts, custom seat belts and floor mats wearing the 332nd Fighter Group logo. There&amp;#039;s no 1,720 bhp Packard-built Merlin V-12 under the Red Tails hood, but a 2.3-liter Whipple supercharger packs 624 bhp out of the 5.0-liter V-8 while a Ford Racing handling kit and Brembo brakes from the GT500 Shelby give it fighter-like performance. More gee whiz than awe-inspiring is a four-pipe zoomie side exhaust\u2014no one at Ford would admit to it being non-functional, but really... along with 20-inch Forgiato wheels and puddle lights that project a Red Tails logo. Ford reiterated its commitment to EAA&amp;#039;s Young Eagles program at the recently concluded Air Venture confab attended by more than 500,000 people, so expect more specialty Mustangs to join this growing squadron of unique Fords.
