New York has been a relatively quiet show for Ford, with the Transit Connect Taxi Concept being its highest-profile (literally, even) unveiling at the show. It's not the only one, however. Ford quietly unveiled the 2009 "Warriors in Pink" Mustang. Like its predecessors, the WIP 'Stang will be produced in a limited run (1,000 cars) with $500 from each sale going to the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure, a charitable organization dedicated to raising breast cancer awareness. The '09 Warriors In Pink cars are Mustang V6 Premium models adorned with a new grille, pink hood and side stripes, pink-ribbon badging, and pink accent stitching inside. The display car is a silver coupe with the optional glass roof. The car is also available as a ragtop, and black or white paint is also on offer. On the coupe Carroll Shelby once referred to as a "secretary's car", the Warriors In Pink package seems to fit right in.

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.

Ford has been extremely philanthropic when it comes to supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure, an organization dedicated to finding a cure for breast cancer. Over the past 13 years, the Blue Oval has given more than $90 million in cash and donations to the group. Ford launched its Warriors in Pink campaign last year to help it focus its efforts in giving to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and this year plans to go beyond selling just Warriors in Pink branded apparel by offering the 2008 Mustang Warrior in Pink package.

Only 2,500 Mustangs will be built with the Warriors in Pink package, which itself includes everything one would get when ordering the Mustang Pony package. It's available on the V6 Premium Array Coupe and Convertible models, and will include a pink ribbon and Pony fender badge, pink striping on the rocker panel, and pink stitching on its charcoal leather seats, steering wheel and floor mats. The car itself will be available in three colors: black, metallic silver and performance white. Ford expects the sale of these cars to generate around $500,000 in funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure along with some other fund raising efforts being planned.

Mustang]]>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/12/ford-to-offer-warriors-in-pink-l-e-mustang/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/12/ford-to-offer-warriors-in-pink-l-e-mustang/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/12/ford-to-offer-warriors-in-pink-l-e-mustang/#commentsFiled under: , , ,

With two new special edition Mustangs due out later this year, including the Bullitt, Ford has seen fit to add another exclusive stallion into the mix - this time for a good cause. The "Warriors in Pink" trim package is being designed in partnership with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and will be built to order, complete with pink exterior stripes and interior stitching. The models will only be offered with a V6, in either coupe or convertible styles, and black will be the primary exterior color choice.

The move to offer another limited edition 'Stang is in an effort to stem a tide of slow sales by making an attempt to bring women into the showroom. Some view this as a positive, while others believe that it has the ability to dilute the Mustang brand.

Regardless, a portion of the profits will be given to the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, whose primary goal is to increase awareness, research funding and treatment of the disease.

The Ford Bold Moves web-based documentary series has released its 16th episode, which focuses on Ford's Warriors in Pink program that supports the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. We're glad the series switched off the topic of product, as we were becoming increasingly frustrated with its back-against-the-wall, underdog-pulls-it-out attitude towards Ford's current situation. This episode, however, highlights Ford's giving nature, and give it has. The company is about to reach $100 million in total contributions made to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. We meet the Warriors in Pink in this episode, who are foot soldiers funded by Ford and charged with the mission of eradicating breast cancer. We also spend the day at the track with Champ Car driver Katherine Legge during her recent race at Road America where she slid behind the wheel of a special car wearing Warriors in Pink livery, i.e. a baby pink paint job. Unfortunately Katherine scratched up that pretty paint job pretty good when she lost control of the car, hit the wall and virtually disintegrated the ride. The crash looked worse than it was and the safety measures did their job, as Katherine was fine and returned to racing five days later.
