ROUSH and Barrett-Jackson to Offer Limited Edition Mustang

For the first time ever two automotive powerhouses will be teaming up to offer a limited edition Ford Mustang.  Barrett-Jackson and ROUSH Performance will collaborate on 50 limited edition Mustangs over a two year span.  The concept Barrett-Jackson edition ROUSH Mustang, a Black 2010 model with painted red stripes and 540 horsepower will be auctioned off at No Reserve during the 8th Annual BJ Collector Car Auction in Palm Beach on Saturday April 3rd at the Americraft Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds.

“The 2010 Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH Mustang ties two leading automotive brands together in an amazing package combining performance and unique styling,” said Jack Roush. “People who drive a regular production ROUSH Mustang are used to getting plenty of second looks.  But with the custom Barrett-Jackson paint in such gorgeous colors, these owners will experience envy on an entirely new level.”

Barrett-Jackson and ROUSH will offer 25 serialized units for the 2010 model using the 4.6-liter V-8 and another 25 units for 2011 with the all-new 5.0-liter V-8 as a starting point.  For the first time ROUSH will repaint the entire vehicle with custom paint colors chosen by the buyer including painting the side stripes.  Also each of these vehicles will receive the usual ROUSH goodies including body components, suspension, resonator exhaust, 20-inch wheels and a ROUSHcharger pushing horsepower to 540.  Other modifications on these limited edition Mustangs include four-piston front brakes with 14-inch rotors, new upper and lower billet grille, leather seats with embroidered Barrett-Jackson logo, four-piece pedals, ROUSH illuminated sill plates, short throw shifter with black or white ball and an interior badge with a serial number engraved.

The 2010 Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH Mustang package will set you back a cool $41,495 plus the Mustang.  These vehicles won't be cheap but they will be exclusive with only 25 units this year and 25 for next.
