Ford has recently announced its plans to auction the first 2015 Mustang GT at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction that will be held in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Set to go under the hammer on January 18th next year, the Mustang GT comes fitted with a 5.0-liter V8 engine that generates an output in excess of 420 hp (313 kW) and 390 lb-ft (528 Nm) of torque. However since the car won’t be built for several months, the winning bidder will have an option to order it with any interior, exterior and stripe combination they want.
The good thing about the auction is that all the proceeds from the sale of this car will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation which is a leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research.
According to Ford North America Car Marketing Manager Steve Ling, they were kicking off the next 50 years of Mustang in style with a 2015 model featuring a sleek all-new design, world-class performance and innovative technologies. He further said that they were pretty thrilled to be able to take advantage of Mustang’s popularity to help achieve the dream of ending juvenile diabetes.
