It’s cool to care

Latpink1After Mustang's latest Bullitt edition comes something a little less macho -- the ‘Warriors in Pink’ 2009 Ford Mustang. One thousand examples will be made and, with each car sold, Ford will donate $500 to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity.

Previous versions of the ‘Warriors in Pink’ Mustang have met with such a good response that Ford decided to continue offering the package, but doubling its contribution this time around. So far, the company and its dealers have dedicated over $95,000,000 toward breast cancer education and research. The goal for 2008 -- with this model, associated apparel merchandizing and other fundraising efforts -- is to raise $1,000,000.Latpink2

On sale in the summer, the V-6–powered car is available in coupe or convertible form, features a pony and pink ribbon badge, charcoal leather seats with pink stitching, floormats with the same color scheme and an aluminum-spoke steering wheel with more pink stitching. The coupe version offers the new option of a glass roof and both have paintwork choices of black, silver or white. With pink striping.
