Ford Will Be Auctioning the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet For Charity

OSWEGO, Ill. - Sept. 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Much to the excitement of American muscle car enthusiasts and charitable individuals alike, Ford has announced that they will be auctioning off their NHRA competition-ready 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet prototype in order to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. A local Oswego Ford dealership (http://www.riverviewford.com/ford-dealer-oswego/), River View Ford is spreading the news to their customers to help raise awareness of the event.

The winning bidder will acquire the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet prototype along with a host of other prizes, including training at Roy Hill’s Drag Racing School, a tour of the Ford Product Development Center, the experience captured in a Mustang book or documentary, and a video of the vehicle’s build, testing, and the auction itself. The winner will also become an honorary member of Team Mustang.

The 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet is powered by a 5.0L supercharged V8 engine that’s mated to a T4 racing transmission. The Cobra Jet prototype also comes outfitted with an optional traction “wheelie” bar, exclusive branded Weld wheels, custom Cobra Recaro interior seating, and a nine-inch rear axle. This high-performance prototype is NHRA-legal and will provide healthy competition in the racing scene.

During the auction, Ford will also be providing the public with the opportunity to participate in a Ride-and-Drive event, as well as a hot-laps experience at the Mandalay Bay event center. Vehicles making an appearance at the hot-laps experience include the Shelby GT500, Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Boss 302 Mustang, and the GT500 Super Snake.
