2019 Roush Mustang GT Old Crow

ROUSH AND FORD PERFORMANCE BUILD CUSTOM MUSTANG GT TO COMMEMORATE THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY

ROÚSH Performance partnered with Ford Performance to create a special Mustang GT that pays tribute to World War II airman Colonel Bud Anderson and his famous series of 'Old Crow' P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft. The car will be auctioned off at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh air show next month in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
DETROIT (June 6, 2019) – ROÚSH Performance has just announced its latest one-off, custom vehicle – the 'Old Crow' Ford Mustang GT in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of D-Day today. Developed in collaboration with Ford Performance, the bespoke 'Old Crow' features an array of unique touches. The vehicle honors World War II ace Col. Bud Anderson's legendary P-51D Mustang fighter aircraft. The new vehicle will be on display at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin from July 22-28, 2019 where it will be auctioned off to raise money for EAA's youth education program.




Anderson, 97, a triple ace fighter pilot, flew two combat tours and 116 missions for the 8th Air Force's 357th Fighter Group, 363rd Fighter Squadron and is recognized as its third leading ace with 16 aerial victories. He flew in P-51 Mustangs and named each of the airplanes 'Old Crow.' During his service, Anderson was never hit by enemy fire, including while providing aerial support to Allied troops on D-Day. He spent more than six continuous hours in flight that day in the last of his three P-51B Mustangs. Anderson earned more than 25 decorations, including the Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star and Air Medal in recognition of his heroism.

The 'Old Crow' Mustang GT designed by ROÚSH Performance and Ford features a Ford/ROÚSH Performance TVS R2650 supercharger that boosts the 5.0L V8 to 710 horsepower. In honor of the original, the 'Old Crow' Ford Mustang GT wears an authentic paint scheme and badging similar to that of Anderson's P-51D Mustang.



The 'Old Crow' Mustang GT will be on display throughout the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture Oshkosh event from July 22-28, 2019, allowing guests an up-close look at this unique machine. On July 25, 2019, the 'Old Crow' Mustang will be auctioned live at 'The Gathering' event with all proceeds going to benefit the Experimental Aircraft Association's youth education program which helps support the next generation of aviators.
