Mike Butler's 2009 'Black Widow' Ford Mustang GT
Have you ever heard of the Black Widow edition Ford Mustang? Neither had we, until we met up with Mike Butler during the Southern Illinois Mustang Association’s 42nd Annual Mustang and All Ford Round-up car show last summer at Roberts Motors in Alton, Illinois. It was there when Butler, of Godfrey, IL, told us about his black 2009 Ford Mustang GT which featured a rare appearance package called the “Black Widow.”
Internet forum chat does mention a 2009 Black Widow Mustang GT conversion like Butler’s done by Southern Comfort Conversions in Alabama, but we could find little else.
In Mike Butler’s words:
“From what I have been able to find out, there were 15 of these Mustangs done for 2009. Three were White and the other 12 were Black. But get this: Of the 12, two of them were right-hand-drive cars — 1 White and 1 Black. I understand that most of the 12 were automatics but I don't know the exact numbers. So far it looks like I have a fairly unique Mustang. From what info I was able to get, it seems I have 1 of 11 of the Black left-drive ones, and the fact that mine is a manual would indicate it’s even more rare.
