ROUSH PerformanceŽ 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 ROUSHchargerŽ 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 available in manual transmission only.

I like it. But does it have to say Barrett-Jackson on the side?

 

H O T

 

" $41,495 plus the Mustang chassis"

ouch

 

i like it but it seems like a painted up Roush Hammer Mustang. thats what i never liked about the multiple Roush Mustangs after the 427R in the past.

 

LOL... and everybody slammed Shelby on his GT350 surcharge... so where's the Roush outrage, hmmm?

 

I approve

 

While I agree with you that the price is ridiculous, never-the-less, the Roush has some important features the Shelby doesn't including a custom, pick your own colors, full-car paint job (which can run $15k in itself) and (most importantly) forged internals (surprised it didn't have coilovers though...). It will also be even more rare than the GT350.

That is a lot to offer for just $5k more.

Granted, that still doesn't justify the price, but at least Roush did their own engineering, and built a proper car instead of just installing other peoples bolt-ons.

Plus, it doesn't have 92 Roush emblems

 

It's a 2010 Stage 3 with different badging.

And it doesn't look like a steaming pile of crap like the GT350 does.

 

#2 of 25 Made is now sitting at Gray Daniels Ford, Brandon, MS

With the Base Price, Barrett Jackson Package, and ADM, Dealership is asking $100,000

A little blurry and got there when they closed so could only snap a few, but thought I would Share...

 

Is that black on that car? Looks purplish to me

 

Black Cherry Paint job. Looks Black at night, cherry during the day, Very Sharp car and Color.

 

Cool thanks!! Didn't even know that color existed.

 

Barrett-Jackson contributions to the car enthusiasts are inflated prices and a chance for those who pay through the nose to be on TV for a couple of minutes of fame while getting shafted from side to side. Why anyone would like their edition instead of getting a great deal on a Stage 3 is behond comprehension.

 

Ray Skillman Ford is entertaining offers for the ones they have. You pay sticker at worst but that is still pretty high. That's just my opinion but it all depends on what you want and what you are willing to pay. We have allowed car prices to skyrocket by paying what the manufacturers want. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay, please remember that. If noone buys at a certain price then sooner or later the price comes down to a level where people buy again. Supply and demand !
