Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My “Coach Cal” Mustang

This has to be the end all, be all of Kentucky Wildcat memorabilia.  A $71,000 Roush Mustang (or the more reasonably priced $43,000 GT version) customized and labelled the “Coach Cal Edition,” for the Wildcats dapper head coach, is soon to be  available at Paul Miller Ford in Lexington, Kentucky.

Better hurry though…the dealership is only making five available.

And I can almost guarantee that their are five UK fans out there, with more money than brains, who will snatch these cars up.  Who am I kidding–if I had the cash, I’d snag one too.  They are, as the kids used to say, “real boss.”

Here’s how the creative process breaks down…

1. a 2010 Mustang, either a Roush 427R or GT version, is given a UK blue paint scheme, similar to the “Bill Keightley” jerseys the team wore last season
2. a “C” is added to the rear of the vehicle, which obviously stands for Calipari
3. each of the Mustangs is then autographed by Coach Calipari himself

One final tidbit of information–each of the cars will, at some point, be driven by Calipari, until they are sold…or given to potential recruits.  Boom!  Roasted!

More pics of the “Coach Cal” Mustang…

First there was the John Calipari Maker’s Mark bottle of bourbon, and now this.  Let’s just hope that Coach Cal never pulls a “Billy Gillispie,”  because the irony would be too much for UK fans to handle.
