Earlier this month we were the first to tell you about a new custom Mustang being built by Galpin Auto Sports that would be auctioned off for charity at the Barrett-Jackson auction in January. Now we are proud to show you the first live photos of the car, literally hours after it was completed at GAS. The car is amazingly accurate to the original rendering (sans graphics), from the functional Boss 429 hood scoop to the custom-fabricated widebody kit that adds an extra nine inches of girth to the car. Under the hood, the 5.0L V8 has been fitted with a Ford Racing supercharger system and a set of Comp’s XFI Blower Cams good for 700 horsepower.

Want to see the Galpin widebody Mustang for yourself? The car will be on display at Barrett-Jackson’s Las Vegas auction from September 22-24 as well as at the SEMA Show from November 1-4. We wouldn’t be surprised if it makes it to a few other car shows and events as well.

Until then, check out our exclusive gallery of photos below.

Galpin Auto Sports has built quite a few widebody Mustangs over the last couple of years, starting with the Shelby GT500 that debuted at SEMA in 2010. Since then they’ve debuted more widebody Mustangs at SEMA including the Boss 302-X one-off Shelby GT500 Super Snake, and they also worked with specialty manufacturer SPX to create a custom Mustang inspired by the Boss 429 that was auctioned off for charity at Barrett-Jackson earlier this year . Each car has been impressive in its own way, but they all have one thing in common – they’re coupes. Recently Galpin Auto Sports decided to take on their first widebody Mustang convertible, the result of which you see here. The hand-built steel fenders stretch the width of the car by a full nine inches, allowing for massive Forgiato 3-piece wheels with wide Pirelli tires (295/25ZR-21 front and 335/25ZR-22 rear). GAS also fitted the Mustang GT with a complete Ford Racing suspension system, Magnaflow quad-tip exhaust system, Wilwood 14-inch cross-drilled and slotted brakes front and rear and a custom Burgundy and Black leather interior.

So who’s the lucky new owner of this widebody 2012 Mustang Convertible? Thomas duPont, co-founder of the dupont Registry, recently added the car to his already impressive collection of sports cars.
