“We were honored to host Olympian Michael Phelps at
Barrett-Jackson in the past, and we are very much looking forward
to welcoming him and his wife Nicole to our March event for the
auction of the very first Barrett-Jackson Edition Roush Mustang
ever built,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of
Barrett-Jackson. “Their commitment to promoting healthy, active
lives through their important work with the Michael Phelps
Foundation is admirable, and we are glad we can help their efforts
through this sale.”
The 2010 Ford Roush Mustang Barrett-Jackson Edition (preview) is
the result of a limited-edition build program with
Sherwin-Williams, Roush and Barrett-Jackson. The first of only 25
produced, the Mustang is powered by a 540-horsepower R2300 Roush
supercharged V8 engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The
limited-edition pony car is painted in Planet Color’s Red Hot Chili
Pepper paint with Snow White graphics. The interior features
leather seats with embroidered Barrett-Jackson logo, four-piece
performance pedal, illuminated Roush sill plates and 001
nameplate.
“Michael Phelps inspired us all during the course of his
decorated swimming career,” said Steve Davis, president of
Barrett-Jackson. “Translating his passion for swimming into helping
youth and adults alike live more active lifestyles is just as
inspiring. It will be exciting to see this incredible
Barrett-Jackson edition Roush Mustang cross the block knowing that
100 percent of the hammer price will benefit his foundation and
possibly inspire a new generation of Olympic swimmers.”
Established in 2008, the Michael Phelps Foundation (MPF) offers
access to the same curriculum and principles that helped propel the
best swimmer in the world. Along with a coalition of strategic
partners, MPF has provided learn-to-swim, healthy living, and
goal-setting curriculum to more than 100,000 people around the
world through the Boys and Girls Club of America and Special
Olympics International.
