Ford Mustang AV8R auctioned off for $500,000

The Ford Mustang AV8R that we saw last month was auctioned off at AirVenture Oshkosh 2008 for a total of $500,000 which will benefit the youth program interested in an aviation career. The winning bidder gets the car which is autographed by celebrities attending the Oshkosh show, including Harrison Ford, Edsel B. Ford II, Jack Roush and Carroll Shelby.

The Mustang AV8R was produced by Ford Racing which added some visual upgrades, an upgraded handling package, supercharger and tuned exhaust that helps the 4.6L V8 generate 400 horsepower.
