First Ford Mustang Dark Horse sold at auction for $375,000

What makes this sale even more remarkable is that the entire proceeds will go towards supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization dedicated to preventing and treating type 1 diabetes.

During the Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction over the weekend, the first production Ford Mustang Dark Horse was sold for an impressive $375,000.

This inaugural Dark Horse model boasts a stunning Blue Ember Metallic finish and comes equipped with Recaro sports seats, accent stripes, as well as the Handling and Appearance packages. Factory-fitted enhancements include a MagneRide suspension, a K-brace Torsen rear differential, and a set of Pirelli Trofeo RS tires mounted on staggered wheels.

Under the hood, VIN 001 houses a potent 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine, delivering 500 horsepower and 418 lb-ft (566 Nm) of torque. This power is exclusively channeled to the rear wheels through a Tremec six-speed manual gearbox.

It's worth noting that the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse starts at $60,850.
