“Old Crow” Mustang GT Takes Off At “The Gathering”
Ford and Roush Performance team for the “Old Crow” Mustang GT to salute military veterans.
“Old Crow” takes its inspiration from the P-51 Mustang which saw combat during World War II.
The special Mustang hits the auction block during the 2019 AirVenture show in Wisconsin this week.
A custom Mustang GT, inspired by a P-51 Mustang fighter flown by triple ace Col. Bud Anderson of the U.S. Army Air Force, is about to hit the road. Ford and Roush Performance are behind this special Mustang GT, nicknamed “Old Crow.” The special Mustang was built to mark the 75th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy. It’s just like Anderson’s P-51 Mustang (minus the six 50 cals): Good-looking, fast, and wonderfully overpowered. One Crazy Ace
We better get this out of the way right now: Jack Roush is kinda nuts, especially when it comes to airplanes. He has had, what, two bad crashes, maybe three, as I recall. One of those should have killed him outright when he boomed into the middle of a lake, except one of the people living on the lake saw him and went out and rescued him. So, given Jack’s love of Fords, excessively powerful engines and planes (in that order), doing up a version of the latest Mustang, like a famous Mustang from World War II, makes complete sense.
Roush is also a longtime friend of Anderson’s.
