Ford Motor Company has built a number of Special Edition vehicles over the years to honour particular Service groups. Most of these vehicles have been Mustang derivatives.
The model here, the 2012 Ford Mustang Red Tails Edition honours the Tuskegee Airmen. This group of African-American Airmen, part of the 332nd Fighter Group flew in various North American P-51 Mustang Fighters during WWIII. The aircraft were known for their distinctive ‘red tails’, and this colour scheme has been reproduced on the road-going Mustang car.
The Mustang car receives a Whipple supercharger added to the 5.0 L V8, lifting power beyond the standard GT’s 420 hp. The car also receives a number of other ‘go-fast’ modifications, along with special Recaro seats.
The Red Tail Edition joins a number of other special edition Mustangs, including the 2008 Mustang AV8R (F22 Raptor-inspired), 2009 AV-X10 ‘Dearborn Doll’, 2010 SR-71 Blackbird Mustang and 2011 Blue Angels Mustang.
As for most of the models built his November, the Ford Mustang Tuskegee Special Edition is a major redesign of a previously created model. In LUGNuts there was a build challenge named 'Redo or Redemption' just for this type of build.
