<br /><br />If anyone deserves to have his own special edition Ford Mustang, it's Lee Iacocca. The former president of the Ford division, Iacocca is known as the father of the Mustang and recruited Carroll Shelby to create special versions of the horse in his own image. Now, 45 years after the original Mustang debuted, Iacocca has built his very own version. <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/iacocca-45th-anniversary-edition-ford-mustang/2097439/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" alt="" class="right border" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/06/iacoccamustang_02_opt.jpg" /></a> Known as the 2009 1/2 Iacocca 45th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang, this coach-built pony car features a special body designed by Michael Leone and built by the legendary Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters. The car features a reworked front end including sunken headlights and a prominent fastback look with the slope of the roof reaching all the way to the rear of the car. Inside, Iacocca's Mustang gets Diamond Design leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with "I" logos, and Iacocca-badged aluminum door sill plates. Finishing off the look of the car are 20-inch Iacocca Design wheels wrapped with Goodyear Eagle tires.<br /> <br /> Performance enhancements come courtesy of the Ford Racing parts bin, all of which retain the factory warranty and include a cold-air intake system and the Ford Racing Handling Pack with new shocks and springs. Customers can also opt for a supercharger system that boosts the 4.6-liter V8 to 400 horsepower as well as a 14-inch front brake system.<br /> <br /> Production of the Iacocca 45th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang will be limited to a scant 45 units, available exclusively at Galpin Ford in Southern California.

That is an awesome look! I hope they bring that rear back for future years.

That is the styling I'm talking about!!!

 

[Renegade]

I agree, the back looks sick!!!!

 

[yosemiddysam]

Im still not feeling the new ones.

 

[sdsubzero4]

C'mon Yose! Give it time. You will feel it when you see it in person. The front and the interior is a huge improvement. The back, I'm not excited about, but if they bring back the old rearend, like the one in the picture. That would be complete!

Wow,
I used to work at Galpn Ford. Knowing them, there will be a $50k mark-up ON TOP of the MSRP.

It'll probably be sold out before it even hit the lot. They are only making 45 of them.
