Galpin builds special Warriors in Pink Mustang for charity
click above image for more pics of the Galpin Warriors in Pink Mustang
Earlier this year, Ford revealed a special Warriors in Pink version of the Mustang. Only 2,500 were built and the sale of each went to helping fight breast cancer through donations to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure charity. As we all know, one special version of the Mustang is not enough, so Galpin Auto Sports of Pimp My Ride fame has gone and "Galpinized" a Mustang convertible that will be given away as the grand prize in the Warriors in Pink Mustang Sweepstakes.
The Galpin Warriors in Pink Mustang is a bit more flashy than its factory sibling, sporting hot pink rally stripes over black paint, pink headlight splitters, a new grille and spoiler, a lowered suspension and 20-inch pink and black rims. The Warriors in Pink logo has also been hand painted on the back between the taillights for a custom touch. Electronic upgrades like a Kenwood nav system with 7-inch touchscreen are also included, along with new pink and black leather upholstery. Unfortunately, an untouched 200-hp V6 sits underhood, but we suppose this car is meant to be seen rather than driven.
If you're interested in winning the Galpin Warriors in Pink Mustang, or just think fighting breast cancer is a good thing, you can enter the sweepstakes before December 31st by visiting FordCares.com.

One Lucky Contestant Will Win a One-of-a-Kind Galpinized® Warriors in Pink Mustang from Ford and Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure
VAN NUYS, CA (December 17, 2007) – To raise awareness of the fight against breast cancer Galpin Auto Sports (GAS), home of MTV's Pimp My Ride, has created a one-of-a-kind Warriors in Pink Mustang for the Susan G.

Lol @K.I.T.T.Y. Hehe funny you should mention it, I was actually thinking even THIS would make a better K.I.T.T. than what NBC showed last week.

This is for charity, so in keeping with the spirit, I will keep the hysterical laughter to a minimum.

If Ford really cared, they'd shoot that car and put it out of its misery.

Amen. You'd think that something like being charitable for cancer would be seen in good light and more idiots would actually read articles instead of just looking at pictures and passing ill-advised judgments. Get a life people. It's pink for breast cancer just like all the other pink showcases out there for the cause.

This is to help save breasts. You guys have a problem with that?

Yeah, I don't equate Breasts with Mustangs.

I think it looks pretty cool except for the headlight splitters.

For a girl, other than those stupid pink things on the headlights, but that's what I said about those half and half sunglasses you see celebs wearing, I think this makes a great chick car. If I was married this is probably what I would buy for my wife to drive.

It's simple. Chicks dig pink.

I'm a chick. If someone GAVE me that car, I'd try my damndest to get breast cancer just so I'd have to sell it to raise the money for my operations and chemo.
In case you can't tell, I don't like Mustangs. In particular, pussified ones.

For less than $500, you could undo all that pink. Repaint the stripes, powder coat the wheels, and pick up a nice set of fitted seat covers.
Give the car to me, I won't complain. I won't drive it until those stripes are changed, though.
