Roush Performance and Barrett-Jackson have joined forces to offer a special edition, high performance version of the Mustang that will be built in a limited run of 50 units, with 25 of those based on the 2010 model year 'Stang and the rest on the 2011 chassis.

The first example of this series, teased above, will be auctioned to the highest bidder on Saturday, April 3 at the Barrett-Jackson event in Palm Beach, Florida.

The limited run series represents the first time that Roush will completely re-paint a Mustang from front fascia to rear bumper with customers being able to order both the base coat and the side stripes in any combination from the 25 available Barrett-Jackson Collector Color Series paints.

Aside from the special paint jobs, the special edition Mustang will come fully loaded with Roush body components, interior enchantments and mechanical upgrades.

Among other things, the 2010 Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH 'Stang gets a new upper and lower billet grille along with 20-inch chrome wheels with high-performance Cooper RS3 tires.

Inside, buyers will find leather seats with an embroidered Barrett-Jackson logo, four-piece performance pedals, ROUSH illuminated sill plates, a short throw shifter with black or white ball and a new interior badge with the serial number engraved.

In what concerns the 2010MY Mustang-based models, the addition of a R2300 ROUSHcharger and several forged internal components such as the pistons and crankshaft, help the V8 churn out 540 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque.

Other performance upgrades for the 2010MY include a sport exhaust system, four-piston front brakes with 14-inch rotors and painted rear calipers with slotted rotors and a suspension package with ROUSH front struts, rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers.

Roush said that the suggested retail for the 2010 Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH Mustang package is $41,495 plus the Mustang chassis.

Details and pricing on the 2011MY Mustang models will be released at a later date.
