Vehicle Description
Original Press Release:
Forty-five years after he introduced the original Ford Mustang,
launched at a dramatic press conference on
April 13, 1964 at the New York World's Fair, auto industry
visionary Lee Iacocca today announced a new vision
of the famous muscle car - the Iacocca Silver 45th Anniversary
Edition Ford Mustang - a breathtaking vehicle
that utilizes the latest in Ford performance technology with a
style and panache that screams, Mustang fastback.
Only 45 "2009�" Iacocca Silver Edition Mustangs - all painted a
special "Iacocca" chosen silver hue - will be built.
Nearly two years in the making, the Iacocca Silver Edition Mustang
is a collaborative effort by Iacocca and designer
Michael Leone. The Business is called I Legacy, and it will be in
concert with the Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters,
the world-class coahbuilding Company in Fountain Valley, California
and with the Galpin Ford Dealership, to offer
these Iacocca Silver 45th Anniversary Fastback Edition to the
Public.
In a word, the new Iacocca Silver Edition Mustang is stunning. The
lines flow organically from front to rear. The
hand-crafted piece of rolling art, with its innovations and impact
of the fastback design is truly exceptional in every
way. With its sunken headlights, slanted grill and low stance, the
car gives you "street attitude."
"Once in a while a car comes along that changes everything, and
that was the original Mustang," said Iacocca.
The Silver Edition Mustang perpetuates the Iacocca mystique.
The car begins life on a 2009 Mustang platform, which is then
uniquely modified and coachbuilt. While the exterior
fastback design of the Iacocca Silver Mustang is compelling, the
mechanical underpinnings are true American muscle.
The car's suspension has been upgraded to keep pace with the power
delivery. A Ford Racing Handling Package
adds firmer springs and re-valved shock absorbers. A 14-inch Ford
Racing Braking Package is optional. All
suspension components will be covered under a factory Ford
warranty, as well.
Inside the Iacocca Silver Mustang, the interior is resplendent with
luxurious touches that highlight the car's special
heritage, including Iacocca Diamond Design leather seats with
embroidery stitching, an Iacocca signature dash
plaque with serial number, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with
"I" badge, and Iacocca-badged aluminum door
sill plates.
The "Father of the Mustang" returns to the legend that started it
all.
The vehicle itself:
Number 7 of only 45 Anniversary Edition Mustangs built, this
vehicle has traveled less than 200 miles and has been garage-kept
since it was built in 2009. The interior still sports it's original
dealer protective wrap with the custom leather interior showing no
sign of aging.
