Instead of throwing just a regular Mustang at somebody less fortunate, Ford has unveiled the Mustang AV-X10 Dearborn Doll, a beauty of a beast that is planned to be sold at an auction with the proceeds going to charity.
The Mustang AV-X10 Dearborn Doll rocks some pretty dope decals and a paint job just like a real fighter plane. The AV-X10 is pumping 550 horsepower out of a 4.6L V8 engine.
The retro plane style of the Mustang AV-X10 Dearborn Doll gives it a “cool” element that pays appropriate tribute to the days of the old-school war planes.
