" After spending a couple of years in hiding this infamous Mustang GT is coming back to auction. Back in January 2010 it crossed the block at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale event netting a cool $330,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Ford has since built 50 replicas, but make no mistake that this is the real deal. No mention has been made as to whether this will be another sale for charity.  This car was the first Ford to pace the Daytona 500 since 1970, and it was well deserving of the position. The new 5.0L V-8 launched in this Mustang is one of Ford&amp;#039;s biggest achievements in years, being their first V-8 with twin independent variable cam timing. Viewed by many as one of their best engines in decades.  As with most pace cars that come to auction, the Mustang has received special treatment inside and out including custom decals and door sills. Aside from being one of the first Mustangs to appear with the then-new 5.0L Coyote V-8, which is good for a solid 412 bhp, this car is equipped with a special Ford Racing suspension setup, strut tower brace, and muffler. It seems its current owner was far more concerned with preservation rather than enjoyment as the car is sitting with no more than 920 miles on the odometer.
