AV8R Mustang Auctioned Off For Charity

The first Shelby GT was auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson in 2007 for $600,000 and the first GT500KR was sold for $550,000. Both were sold in the hopes of raising money for charity and both were very successful. The next Mustang to be auctioned off is the AV8R Mustang.

The one-off AV8R Mustang that crossed the block last week at the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) Gathering Eagles charity auction and brought down the gavel with a final bid of $500,000. The unique Mustang features a 400-hp supercharged V8, Ford Racing suspension upgrades, and an aviation-inspired paint scheme plus much more.
