G.A.S. Pairs with U.S. Air Force to Build Two Unique Mobile Marketing Supercars

Galpin Auto Sports has recently teamed up with the United States Air Force to created two customized vehicles for the 2009 Super Car Tour – a new U.S. Air Force recruiting initiative that kicked off last month. The white Ford Mustang “X-1” and black Dodge Challenger “VAPOR” are Air Force-inspired designs that will travel across the country this year as part of a mobile marketing campaign to educate young people on career opportunities available within the Air Force.

The Ford Mustang “X-1” features a jet-driven theme, complete with a jet cockpit that has advanced instrumentation and a single-driver seat in center of vehicle. It also features a concealed motorized steering wheel and a dash equipped with a sensor pack that displays night and thermal vision. The vehicle also has a GPS transponder and customized gull wing doors that feature interior panel fabrication to complete the ‘jet-like’ feel of the X-1.

The stealth-black Air Force Challenger “Vapor” features thumbprint access to the Lamborghini scissor doors, a custom Stealth body kit with Jet enhancements and a carbon fiber exterior trim. The interior is complete with aircraft style controls, a passenger side steering wheel and the most technologically-advanced computer system with internet access, GPS tracking and exterior proximity sensors.
