Ford Delivers First 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 CS0001
Ford is a big supporter of juvenile diabetes research and often donates the very first serial number of special cars, like the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, to be auctioned off. This is precisely what the automaker did with 2020 GT500 CS0001 sending the rights to configure the car as the buyer wished to Barrett-Jackson earlier this year.
The winner of that auction was none other than Craig Jackson, the Jackson in Barrett-Jackson auctions. He paid $1.1 million for the rights to the first production 2020 GT500, and he asked for something special in the car. Jackson also happens to own the 1968 Shelby EXP500 prototype known as Green Hornet. Jackson wanted Ford to paint his new 2020 GT500 in the same shade of green as the 1968.
Jackson says he had no idea what an undertaking that request would be, but BASF and Penske made it happen. The car was sprayed with a Lime Green base that was topped with Candy Apple Green. Ford also hand panted EXP500 on the side of the car, just as Green Hornet has.
