 Ford
Motor Company has built the ultimate aviation-based automobile
especially for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2008 - the Mustang AV8R - and one
lucky bidder at the annual Gathering of Eagles fund-raiser will get to
drive it home. With the support of Ford Racing, Ford designed and
engineered this "one-off" design to commemorate AirVenture
2008. In fact, its name was derived from the event itself AirVenture
2008.
The very special machine has never been
seen before …until now. Watch the vehicle come to life and learn about
its special features and enhancements in an exclusive video on EAA's
AirVenture video player.
Ford Racing made this one of the most
high-performing Mustangs ever built. And it's the only one built, since
Ford "broke the mold" after donating the modified,
400-horsepower 2009 Mustang GT to EAA to be auctioned at the annual
Gathering of Eagles on July 31, 2008. Proceeds will support EAA's youth
education and inspirational experiences that prepare young people to
become the engineers, pilots, and innovators of tomorrow.
