The 2008 Ford Mustang Roush P-51A stands as a tribute to both American automotive heritage and wartime aviation legend. NASCAR legend Jack Roush has been building special edition Mustangs for years, but Roush is also a well‑known warbird collector and pilot, and the Roush Collection has included a North American P‑51C Mustang fighter (known as “Miss Velma”) that he flew. The 2008 Mustang Roush P-51A is a result of both loves.

Under the hood, Roush Performance fitted the car with a supercharged 4.6-liter V8 engine producing 510hp, a dramatic leap over the standard GT's output. This power was channeled through a close-ratio TREMEC six-speed manual transmission, delivering a visceral driving experience few cars at its price point could match.

Aesthetically, the P-51A was unmistakable. Aggressive body cladding, a functional hood scoop, unique 20-inch wheels, and P51-branded badging set it apart from the crowd. The interior received similarly special treatment, with embroidered seats and aviation-themed accents that paid homage to its namesake.

Only 151 Roush P-51A were produced, and this low mile example is number 78. It was sold new at Marlow Ford in Luray, Virginia, and still shows under 9,900 miles.

This 2008 Ford Mustang Roush P-51A is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Florida title.
