2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse Shatters Auction Records for Charity
by AutoExpert | 31 January, 2024
Guess what? The first 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse just went under the hammer and boy, did it make some noise! This beauty didn't just trot; it galloped its way to an eye-popping $350,000 at auction. And get this – it's all for a good cause!
So, the starting price for one of these mean machines is usually around $59,485, but at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction, the stakes were high and the hearts were generous. The entire amount is heading straight to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. How cool is that? They're out there fighting the good fight against type 1 diabetes.
Now, let's drool over the car for a sec. The Mustang Dark Horse we're talking about isn't just any car off the assembly line. It's the first one, with a VIN that ends in 001 – talk about exclusive!
Decked out in a stunning Blue Ember Metallic, this car's got style for days, complete with accent stripes and the Appearance package, which means a chic black roof and flashy Notorious Blue brake calipers.
Inside, it's like stepping into a high-tech lounge. There's a massive 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch infotainment system. And the seats – oh, the seats! They're black Recaro with these neat blue accents that just scream luxury.
The Dark Horse is more than just looking good. It runs on a wild 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, that pumps 500 hp at 418 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels.
The Handling package adds agility, while the retuned suspension, magnetic dumpers and 19-inch wheels in dark finish make the ride smooth and stylish. The beauty comes with front tow hooks and a rear spoiler with Gurney flap.
So there you have it, folks – the first 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse just made a big splash for charity and looked darn good doing it. Can't wait to see this stunner out on the road!
