This Mustang GT was a joint effort between Ford Motor Company and Roush and is named “Old Crow” in honor of Bud Anderson, who nicknamed his P-51 Mustang fighter plane “The Old Crow” after a whiskey of the same name. To honor this legendary veteran, Ford produced this one of a kind Mustang with a P-51-inspired paint scheme draped over Roush rear fascia and a Ford Performance front racing spoiler. The hood features custom heat extractors that will help expel the heat of the Roush-supercharged 5.0 lying underneath. This land-locked Mustang makes 710 horsepower and 610 pound-feet of torque. Ford auctioned off the “Old Crow” Mustang GT at the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) 2019 Air Venture air show in Oshkosh, WI with the proceeds going to benefit the EAA’s youth and adult aviation programs.
Mike Katz, a professional bodybuilder and former professional football player with the New York Jets, built a Tribute car for Bud Anderson in the paint scheme of Bud’s P-51 Old Crow. The car was unveiled at the Air Force Association’s 2017 annual meeting, where Bud received the Association’s Lifetime Achieve Award. Mike is famous for his appearance with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1977 bodybuilding documentary film Pumping Iron.
