Ford has done an outstanding job of creating American Muscle cars that emulate the planes of our past. Well, technically Ford didn't really design or build these monsters, but they did build the cars. These four Mustangs have been given makeovers and steroids, making them some seriously powerful machines. First up, we have the Red Tails Tribute Mustang dedicated to the black men who served in WWII flying the infamous P-51 Mustang.
"Starting with a Mustang GT with the glass roof, the exterior gets a
non-production aluminum-look paint finish with, naturally, a red tail.
In addition to the red and yellow color trim, Ford has added a Boss
grille and rear spoiler, Roush rockers, a GT500 rear diffuser, 20-inch
Forgiotto wheels and an awesome quad exhaust setup from SVT"
I think that the Red Tails "Stang is the best looking, and from the parts installed it's probably the quickest, too. However, there are a few more I want to share with you, simply because they're too cool to pass up. This next build is supposed to be an homage to the SR-71 Blackbird, the spy plane made famous by movies and video games. This rendition of the car looks far more menacing than the Red Tails', but it seems too cartoony for my taste.
"This year's aviation-themed Mustang is inspired by the SR-71 Blackbird, a
project that brought together Jack Roush and Caroll Shelby for the very
first time. The one-of-one pony car, based on the 2011 Mustang GT,
features a black and gray matte exterior with an SR-71 design theme,
custom SVT wheels, roll cage and various performance upgrades including a
Ford Racing supercharger, sportier suspension and high-flow exhaust
system. Both Roush's and Shelby's signature are embroidered into the
custom Recaro seats."
