Galpin SPX Ford Mustang
SPX Corporation has chosen Galpin Auto Sports to create a unique top-performing Ford Mustang that will be auctioned in January 2012 at the Barrett‐Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Ariz. But before going to Scottsdale, it was unveiled to the public on September 22 in Las Vegas. The car made several appearances at auto shows and events throughout the country, such as in SEMA 2011. GAS fabricated an all‐metal wide‐body that extends the width of the vehicle by nine inches more than a stock Mustang.
Its engine performance is increased to over 700hp by a Ford Racing supercharger. This complements the aggressive design and stance of this vehicle, which clearly takes inspiration from the Mustang BOSS 429. It also features Forgiato 22x14 rear and 21x11 front three‐piece GTR wheels that were covered by 335/25/22 and 295/25/21 Pirelli tires.
Its interior was enhanced by custom red suede and black leather trim and upholstery with suede headliner. In addition, the Mustang comes with a Bassani Performance exhaust system, a 1000‐watt JL Audio system, a custom formulated PPG paint, and several other unique features. All the proceeds from the auction will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the world-famous center for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other tragic childhood diseases. This center doesn’t ever refuse treatment due to reasons involving religion, race, or poverty.
