Ford will build a single 2015 Mustang 50 Years convertible for raffle, with proceeds to support multiple sclerosis research. The Mustang GT will be the only 2015 convertible to feature a performance pack and select content from the 50 Year Limited Edition Mustang fastback.
The unique car will be among the first regular production 2015 Mustang GT convertibles built this fall. It will be powered by a 5.0-liter V8 producing more than 420 horsepower and more than 390 lb-ft (528 Nm) of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission.
To make it really special, this will be the only 2015 Mustang convertible featuring a special performance pack that includes 19-inch Pirelli P-Zero summer tires, Brembo six-piston painted front brake calipers and a limited-slip differential.
In addition, the Mustang 50 Years Convertible will source unique styling upgrades from the anniversary fastback, including the Wimbledon White exterior paint, chrome-accented grille with corralled pony emblem, chrome accents around the tri-bar tail lamp lenses, axle spin-finish aluminum instrument panel trim, rear decklid badge with “GT 50 Years” identification and 19-inch Y-spoke wheels.
On the inside, the one-off Mustang will feature two-tone cashmere and black leather seats, contrasting cashmere stitching on instrument panel, steering wheel, shift boot, door inserts and seats, loop-carpet floor mats with cashmere stitching and suede binding, and an owner’s guide in a leather portfolio with “50 Years” badge on the outside.
Additionally, the special model will feature a badge on the instrument panel, engraved with the signature of Bill Ford and serial number 0001 of 0001.
The winning ticket for the raffle will be selected in Mustang Alley on August 16, 2014, during the annual Woodward Dream Cruise. Tickets cost $20 each and can be purchased through National MS Society, Michigan Chapter and Ford Motor Company.
