Ford will capitalize on its Mustang nameplate for the fourth year in a row when it returns to the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, later this summer.

This time around, however, Ford has a very special treat in the form of a one-off Mustang that got a lot more than a simple bodykit, wheel, tire and paint change. The special Blue Angels Mustang GT will be donated to benefit the Young Eagles Auction in less than two weeks.

Power output increased to 624 horsepower!
Setting the Mustang GT apart from its non-special edition brethren, the Blue Angels motif will be present throughout. A unique blue chrome exterior finish is accented by yellow gloss Blue Angels logos and stripes, while the Mustang gets the Blue Angels logo stitched into its Recaro leather seats.

What will really make this Mustang fly, however, is a supercharged version of the 5.0-liter V8 cranking out 624 horsepower, while a Ford Racing handling pack, a performance exhaust, special brakes and upgraded light-weight HRE wheels wrapped in Falken FK-452 tires further set it apart.

Unfortunately, just one Blue Angels Mustang GT will be made – which is a shame given this ‘Stangs phenomenal paint and tremendous power.

The auction will be held on July 28 at the Gathering of Eagles event at AirVenture.
