At the Vision of Eagles dinner last night, the SR-71 Ford Mustang sold for $375,000 with proceeds going to the Young Eagles program. The Mustang modifications were designed by Jack Rouch and Caroll Shelby. Rouch was injured in a landing accident here on Wednesday afternoon, and is reported to still be in serious, but stable, condition.
The Mustang has design elements similar to the SR-71 aircraft styling. It has been so heavily modified, that it isn’t street legal any longer.
The entire night activities raised about $2.1 million for the program
