ROUSH AND BARRETT-JACKSON TO OFFER LIMITED EDITION MUSTANG WITH CUSTOM
PAINT AND MONSTER HORSEPOWER
 
Concept Car for New Limited Edition Series to be Sold at Palm Beach
Auction
 
LIVONIA, Mich. – March 18, 2010 – ROUSH Performance® and
Barrett-Jackson have teamed together to offer a limited edition,
high-performance version of the Ford Mustang.  The concept car for the
Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH Mustang will be sold at No Reserve during
the 8th Annual 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 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.�??
 
The concept vehicle will be auctioned to the highest bidder on
Saturday, April 3 at the Barrett-Jackson event in Palm Beach, Fla.; the
car is expected to be shown live during the SPEED broadcast.  This
Mustang will be painted with a base of metallic “Back in Black�?? with
“Red Hot Chili Pepper�?? stripes on the front. This car will be the
model for a run of up to 25 units based on the 2010 Mustang, and an
additional 25 units on the 2011 chassis.
 
“The only thing faster than this muscular ROUSH Mustang concept set to
go across the auction block will be the bidding,�?? said Craig Jackson,
Chairman/CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “With the ROUSHcharger, forged internal
components and a resonator exhaust, this is one good looking Mustang
that really moves.�??
 
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 smoking hot Planet Color Barrett-Jackson Collector
Color Series paints.
 
“We wanted to give customers the opportunity to enjoy the
collectability of a very limited edition series of performance cars but
still be able to customize it,�?? noted Steve Davis, president of
Barrett-Jackson.  “By teaming with ROUSH and Planet Color, we merged the
two, giving enthusiasts literally the best of both worlds.�??

In addition to the custom paint schemes, the 2010 Barrett-Jackson
Edition ROUSH Mustang will sport 540 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of
torque under the hood thanks to the R2300 ROUSHcharger® 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 of the new Mustang 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.  Each vehicle will be
covered with the traditional ROUSH 3-year/36,000 mile warranty, and are
