The concept car for the Barrett-Jackson Edition Roush Mustang will be sold at no reserve during the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Palm Beach on April 1-3, 2010, 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 that combines 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.”
The concept vehicle will be auctioned to the highest bidder on Saturday, April 3; the car is expected to be shown live during the SPEED broadcast. The Mustang will be painted with a base of metallic “Back in Black” with “Red Hot Chili Pepper” stripes on the front. The car will be the model for a run of up to 25 units based on the 2010 Mustang, with an additional 25 units on the 2011 chassis.
With a maximum of 25 serialized units built on the 2010 chassis, this car represents the first time that Roush will completely re-paint a Mustang from front fascia to rear bumper. Customers ordering the car, or the Roush authorized Ford dealerships that inventory a unit, can custom order both the base coat and the side stripes in any combination from the 25 available Planet Color Barrett-Jackson Collector Color Series paints.
In addition to the custom paint schemes, the 2010 Barrett-Jackson Edition Roush Mustang will sport 540 horsepower and 510 lb. ft. of torque thanks to the R2300 Roushcharger supercharger and several forged internal components such as the pistons and crankshaft. The Mustang will ride on 20-inch chrome wheels with high-performance Cooper RS3 tires; the suspension package includes Roush front struts, rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers to turn any commute into a slalom course.
It comes fully-loaded with Roush body components to add to its appearance; resonator exhaust for a deep V-8 rumble; four-piston front brakes with 14-inch rotors and painted rear calipers with slotted rotors; and new upper and lower billet grille that removes the fog lamps and streamlines the appearance while improving cooling performance. Interior enhancements include leather seats with an embroidered Barrett-Jackson logo, four-piece performance pedals, Roush illuminated sill plates, short-throw shifter with black or white ball, and a new interior badge with the serial number engraved.
The suggested retail for the 2010 Barrett-Jackson Edition Roush Mustang package is $41,495 plus the Mustang chassis. Available with manual transmission, the vehicles will be covered with the traditional Roush 3-year/36,000 mile warranty.
