Chuck & His Royal Crimson 2018 GT
There was a major color that stood out with the release of the 2018 Mustang refresh, and that was Orange Fury. This color was used on the majority of the press photos Ford rolled out of the refreshed S550, however, Orange Fury isn't for everyone. Meet Royal Crimson, one of the most sought after colors for the S550 Mustang due to its limited run. Much like Lava Red from the S197, this color truly pops under sunlight, and with how well Chuck takes care of his Steeda-modified 2018 GT, his car is truly the example.
Finding a Royal Crimson GT is one thing, but one that is as clean and tastefully modfiied as Chuck's is a tough find. With the throaty exhaust note courtesy of a Corsa Cat-Back Exhaust and the smooth, lowered ride thanks to Eibach, KONI, and Steeda, Chuck has a head-turner of an S550. We were excited to catch up with him at Mustang Week and learn more about his story!
