Galpin Autosports To Auction 429 Boss Mustang To Benefit St Judes Childrens Hospital
Our Friends at Galpin Auto Sports, also known as GAS, has been building some of the industry’s wildest Ford Mustangs since it opened shop, we have seen them personally and they are amazing. The tuner’s newest project is a collaboration with specialty manufacturer SPX, and will be a 1969 Mustang Boss 429-inspired ‘Stang featuring 700-hp, Candy Apple Red Pearl paint, a custom one-off metal widebody and Forgiato three-piece wheels. The completed project will be auctioned off at the 2012 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona with the proceeds benefiting St. Jude Hospital to fight cancer.
With everything going towards a good cause, the fortunate one to win the Mustang will get themselves one hell of a machine. The 5.0L V8 will be a whole new monster thanks to Ford Racing’s supercharger, camshafts from Comp Cams and a Bassani exhaust system. All 700-hp will feel nice and snappy through the transmission thanks to a Hurst short-throw shifter while the Eibach lowering springs give the Mustang better handling and a nicer stance. Speaking of stance, GAS will be outfitting the one-off custom with a staggered set of 21-inch (front) and 22-inch (rear) Forgiato wheels, wrapped with Pirelli P-Zero rubber. Peeking behind each custom three-piece wheel will be a set of Wilwood 14-inch rotors, with 6-piston calipers in the front and 4-piston calipers in the rear.
On the outside, the Candy Apple Red Pearl PPG paint will be accented by the previously mentioned one-off metal widebody. A Roush billet aluminum grille will give the front end a bolder look while the original 1969 Boss 429 hood scoop pays homage to a true classic. For the rear, a Boss 302 Laguna Seca rear spoiler will be added.
Once it’s completed the car will tour several shows across the country, including the 2011 SEMA Show.

Rumor Has It Ecoboost In A 2013 Ford Mustang = SVO Badge !
Ford has been gradually rolling out its EcoBoost technology across its vehicle lineup – now including the F-150 pickup truck and the revised 2013 Taurus sedan — and it appears as though the Mustang could be next in line for a turbocharged powerplant.
We’ve heard rumors of a re-born SVO Mustang before, but the latest report from Motor Authority gives us some concrete details. According to the report, the Mustang will soon be offered with an SVO-appropriate turbocharged four-cylinder.
Although Ford’s 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder would appear to be the most likely candidate for the Mustang’s engine bay, that won’t be the case. Instead, Ford will increase the engine’s displacement to 2.3L before strapping it between the fenders of the Mustang. For those keeping track, the original SVO’s motor displaced 2.3L.
No word on output, but the larger engine should provide more power than the 2.0L’s 247 horsepower. Given the V6-powered Mustang can already top 30mpg, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the EcoBoost version inch close to 40mpg.
In addition to the new 2.3L, Ford is also said to be readying a 2.7L EcoBoost V6. The larger mill is being designed for front and rear-wheel drive applications, meaning it could eventually wind up under the hood of the ‘Stang.
Children of the 1980s should temper their enthusiasm, though, as the new-age Mustang SVO isn’t expected until at least 2015.

What’s the most miles you have ever accumulated on one vehicle?
