Ford Honors a Famous Plane and Pilot with GT350-Based "Ole Yeller" Mustang



It's that time of year again. Time for another special edition Ford Mustang that will be auctioned off to raise money for the Experimental Aircraft Association’s youth education programs.

Wow, I suddenly don't want a GT350 anymore.
Cured by that neonladen yellow submarine of bad taste

 

Whiz Khalifa ordered one.

 

That green lighting kinda looks like it is radio-active...

 

Yep the whole car just looks toxic. The plane may have a cool story, but Ford swung and missed with this one-off build and can they please stop using those garbage hideous Forgiato wheels for all of these aircraft builds?!?!?

 

Looks like at least one person liked the car, enough to drop nearly $300k on it!

You just remove the neon and change the spoiler and like magic in 30 sec you have a very nice GT350

 

I kinda like it....

 

The pilot of Ole Yeller, Bob Hoover, passed on last week at age 94. He was a true legend of aviation, escaped a German prison camp and flew to friendly territory in a stolen Luftwaffe fighter plane, backup pilot for lifelong friend Chuck Yeager when he broke the sound barrier, test pilot, race pilot, and mind-boggling airshow pilot. Go to youtube and search for Bob Hoover pouring iced tea. People who ought to know called him the greatest stick and rudder pilot ever. Clear skies, Bob.
