2026 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC Carbon Track Pack #009
Cruise for a Cause identifies this prize as a 2026 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC Carbon Track Pack, numbered #009. Its current campaign description presents an ongoing customized build rather than an already inspected finished car.
The model year comes from that official description; the matching rules identify the Dark Horse SC Carbon Track Pack without repeating the year. The combination gives the listing a source-backed identity while leaving final build details subject to confirmation.
The official image set includes exterior views and a branded seat detail. Those are campaign images, not evidence that every pictured detail will appear on the delivered vehicle, particularly while customization remains in progress.
If you win: the vehicle or $100,000 cash depends on at least $240,000 in gross donation proceeds. Below that threshold, the award becomes 25% of gross proceeds. The rules assign taxes and unspecified prize expenses to the winner; confirm final configuration and collection or delivery arrangements before acceptance.
Prize details are as described by the sponsor and its official rules. WTW has not inspected or driven the vehicle.
