To mark the beginning of their new partnership, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation and Ford Motor Company are “Playing Loud and Going Fast.” The two innovative U.S. companies have banded together to put the SPIRIT OF ROCK-N-ROLL on wheels with a unique combo—a sleek black Shelby GT coupe and matching Shelby GT Stratocaster guitar. Two car/guitar pairs have been made; the first pair was auctioned off at the January 2007 Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event in Scottsdale, Ariz., and brought $600,000, all of which will go to the Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation.
The second pair will be given away in early 2008 to one lucky person who enters the sweepstakes at
www.fender.com/ford. Both sets carry actual Ford VIN tags, with the first set showing No. 001 and the sweepstakes set showing No. 100.
