Default Ford Builds 50th Anniversary Mustang Convertible for Charity

At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition
Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary.



From AB





ONE-OF-A-KIND 2015 FORD MUSTANG 50 YEARS CONVERTIBLE BEING RAFFLED TO
SUPPORT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

- A single 2015 Ford Mustang 50 Years convertible will be produced for
raffle, with proceeds supporting multiple sclerosis research
- The Mustang GT being raffled is the only 2015 convertible to be
built with a performance pack and select content from the 50 Year
Limited Edition fastback
- The winning ticket will be selected in Mustang Alley on Aug. 16,
2014 during the annual Woodward Dream Cruise

Ford continues its longstanding support of the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society by offering a one-of-a-kind 2015 Mustang 50 Years
convertible to be raffled off this summer. The winner of this
exclusive convertible featuring select content from the 50 Year
Limited Edition fastback will be announced in Mustang Alley in
Ferndale, Mich., on Aug. 16, 2014 during the annual Woodward Dream
Cruise.

"We're thrilled to be able to work with and help The National MS
Society again," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, global
product development. "As pleased as we are to be able to help
financially with the Society's No Opportunity Wasted research project,
we also feel it's important to help raise greater awareness of this
terrific program. That we're creating one – and only one – Mustang GT
50 Years convertible for the Society shows how much we respect and
support their efforts."

The car will be among the first regular production 2015 Mustang GT
convertibles built this fall. Power comes from a 5.0-liter V8
generating more than 420 horsepower and more than 390 lb.-ft. of
torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. This will be the
only 2015 Mustang convertible built with a special performance pack
that includes 19-inch Pirelli P-Zero summer tires, Brembo six-piston
painted front brake calipers and a limited-slip differential.

Like the recently announced 50 Year Limited Edition fastback, the
convertible features a number of unique elements that distinguish it
from other 2015 Mustangs:
- Wimbledon White exterior paint
- Chrome-accented grille with corralled pony emblem
- Chrome accents around the tri-bar taillamp lenses
- Axle spin-finish aluminum instrument panel trim
- Rear decklid badge with "GT 50 Years" identification
- Two-tone cashmere and black leather seats
- Contrasting cashmere stitching on instrument panel, steering wheel,
shift boot, door inserts and seats
- Loop-carpet floor mats with cashmere stitching and suede binding
- 19-inch Y-spoke wheels inspired by the chrome steel wheels offered
on original Mustang
- Owner's guide in a leather portfolio with "50 Years" badge
on the outside

This special Mustang also includes a badge on the instrument panel,
engraved with the signature of Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman
Bill Ford, and serial number 0001 of 0001.

A limited number of raffle tickets are on sale now and can be
purchased through National MS Society, Michigan Chapter and Ford Motor
Company, while supplies last. Tickets are $20 each. Ticket requests
can be placed online anytime at www.ford4ms.com. Raffle tickets can
also be reserved by phone at 800.243.5767 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
EDT Monday through Friday.

The winner does not need to be present when the lucky ticket is drawn
at the Woodward Dream Cruise. The winner is responsible for title,
taxes and registration.

About Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the
central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the
brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness
and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and
specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but
advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world
free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20
and 50, with at least two to three times more women than men being
diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 2.3 million
worldwide.
