The time has come for the custom widebody Mustang from Galpin Auto Sports to find a new owner. Built by Galpin for industrial company SPX, this specially built Mustang features a hand-built body that widens the car by an incredible nine inches highlighted by PPG Candy Apple Red paint. Under the hood is a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 producing over 700 horsepower, and it has also been fitted with forged three-piece wheels, a custom suede interior, upgraded exhaust system and more.

Whether it was the look and sound of the car or whether bidders were simply feeling generous, this attention-grabbing pony car nabbed a final bid of $160,000, all of which will be donated to benefit the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. You can see our live photos above, or hit the jump to watch a video of the car being auctioned off in case you missed it on SPEED.Continue reading Barrett-Jackson 2012: Galpin Widebody Mustang nets $160,000 for charity

Not a bad looking body kit and great way to raise money! Only way I'd pay that much for that car was if it was going to Charity.

+1 Jon.

Yeah I really am not a big fan of the wide body on the 05-09 but on the 10-12+ body it carries it well. Galpin is known for widebodies and they did a great job. They look so much better in person... pics dont do it justice.
