Ford Motor Company is launching a one-of-a-kind rocket-inspired muscle car to support educating the next generation of aviators.
The Saturn V-styled "Apollo Edition Mustang," donated to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), is the feature lot being auctioned on July 23 to benefit the not-for-profit organization's youth programs. The black and white (with red trim) pony car will be sold during the EAA's Gathering of Eagles gala, part of AirVenture Oshkosh in Wisconsin.
"The Ford Apollo Edition Mustang salutes man's greatest technological achievement, with the ingenuity, precision, and power that defined the spirit of American innovation," Edsel B. Ford II, a member of the Ford board of directors, said in a statement released by the EAA. "Inspired by the Apollo program, Ford Motor Company committed itself to including exhilarating power, cutting-edge technology, and extraordinary craftsmanship in this automobile."

Wow!!! That is gorgeous. I would love to own it, but I figure it just won't fit in my display case beside my LEM model. Regrettably I will have to pass. That is nice though.

If I were a Ford guy this "Stang" would be very appealing, alas GM has my allegiance.

A friend forwarded some pictures of the Apollo Saturn V Ford Mustang at EAA OshKosh 2015. This was the first year I have missed the event in years.
