351 Screamer: Lidio Iacobelli is ready to make headlines again
Ok, admit it. At one time or another you've sat around dreaming about the ultimate Mustang you'd like to build. Heads, cam, blower, and nitrous included, of course. What seperates Mustang owners; however, is that some make their dream come true. Some owners have connections, some get sponsers, and most just spend lots of money to make it happen. Then once in a while, someone comes along that not only makes their dream happen, but helps to make ours happen as well. Lidio Iacobelli...

Galpin Auto Sports (GAS), the pioneering team behind MTV's Pimp My Ride television program and a division of the nation's largest volume Ford dealer, Galpin Ford, has again fired-up the customization world. During the 2009 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, the team debuted a transformed 2010 Ford Mustang GT Premium Convertible with a GAS hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind wide body kit, a 550hp Ford Racing motor, 20" Forgiato wheels and a handsome two-tone black and pearl-grabber blue paint job.

The car was highlighted as one of AutoWeek's eight rides they would drive home from Vegas, if they could.

On display in Ford's SEMA Booth, the modded-Mustang was an instant hit with the customization crowd.

In true Galpin fashion, the customization team turned a true American thrill machine into a rolling piece of art by using innovative designs and first-rate components, from the outside-in. The team took-on the Mustang GT Convertible and boosted the exterior with a distinctive GAS wide body kit, 3dCarbon tonneau cover and PPG Envirobase high performance base coat, topped with custom two-tone black and blue paint with silver accents. The Forgiato 20" aluminum "Mono Leggera Pinzette" wheels and Nitto Invo high-performance tires are corralled by Wilwood front and rear brakes.

The potent Ford power was elevated when GAS dropped in a 550hp Ford Racing super pack and handling pack, paired with a Hurst shifter, JPC one-piece aluminum drive shaft and McCleod aluminum flywheel. Katzkin leather interior, JL Audio speakers and Ford Racing custom backlit door sill plates give this Mustang a "Galpinized" feel.

The car will be on display at GAS' booth at the LA Auto Show in Kentia Hall, along with a dozen other "Galpinized" vehicles.
