The purchaser was a Fort Lauderdale, Florida resident Tom Gonzales, who can now enjoy the aviation-themed car, named AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll". The proceeds from the sale will go to the EEA Young Eagles, which provides youth education and inspirational experiences to prepare young people to become future engineers and pilots.
The car was built by Ford's Racing division based on the 2010 Mustang GT with Glassroof. Its name refers to an AirVenture Xperimental project vehicle, while the ‘10’ designation represents the model year of the Mustang, plus the 10-millionth engine from the Romeo Engine Plant.
“The response to the Mustang AV-X10 has been remarkable,” said Edsel B. Ford II, a member of Ford¹s Board of Directors, in a statement for the press. “The Ford team was committed to delivering an extraordinary vehicle to EAA¹s Gathering of Eagles to support the education and experiences the Young Eagles make possible for tomorrow¹s aviation leaders,” he added.
The Mustang AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" comes with a 4.6-liter 24-valve engine, featuring Ford Racing 550 horsepower supercharger kit, FR500S performance exhaust, short throw shifter, the Handling Pack that features dampers, lowering springs and anti-roll bar kit.
The design theme includes exclusive Satin Silver exterior paint with yellow nose cone and rear wing, and 19-inch Shelby GT500 wheels in liquid silver with yellow propeller tips.
The “Dearborn Doll” nickname is displayed on the front quarter panels using pin-up graphics, while the all-glass roof includes a unique Air Force Star and Bar graphic treatment. The aviation inspired interior includes Bader leather, military khaki-shaded, diamond tucked unique seat and door inserts.
