The uniquely designed Shelby GT350 Mustang by Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) has $295,000 in an auction, proceeds that will go to the EAA youth charities. The bright yellow muscle car christened “Ole Yeller” got the winning bid at an AirVenture event in Oshkosh, Wisconsin that Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) holds annually. Edsel B. Ford II, a member of the Ford board of directors, said that yellow Shelby GT350 model is exceptional because the design has put into account two aviation greats. With its nimbleness, speed, and aerodynamics, it is the best platform to pay homage to the P-51D aircraft and the celebrated US Air Force Fighter pilot, Bob Hoover, who many salute as one of the best pilots ever to have lived.
The offering of 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang may have brought a tiny sum of money, but it took the efforts of some aftermarket companies to create the incredible custom muscle car. Ford’s move has been applauded by Jack Pelton, EAA CEO and chairperson of the board who says that the company has delivered something exceptional.
