2008 Roush Stage 3 Mustang | Carl Edwards Edition

Ultra-Rare: 1 of Only 2 Ever Manufactured

Contest Winner Survivor

A Piece of NASCAR History

The 2008 season was the definitive "Year of Edwards." Carl Edwards secured a staggering nine wins and 27 top-ten finishes, marking a career-high and cementing his status as a NASCAR superstar. To celebrate this dominance, Roush Performance produced a near-mythical edition: the Carl Edwards Stage 3. Unlike the 428R (limited to 200 units), this custom, signed edition saw a production run of just two vehicles, specifically created for a high-profile contest.

Performance: The Roush Stage 3 Core
As a Stage 3 build, this car features the pinnacle of Roush engineering for the S197 platform.

ROUSHCharged Power: The 4.6L 3V V8 is equipped with an intercooled ROUSHCharger system, boosting output to a conservatively rated 430 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

Stage 3 Suspension: A complete overhaul of the chassis including Roush-designed front struts, rear shocks, factory-tuned springs, and larger sway bars for track-ready handling.

Signature Shifting: Equipped with a Roush short-throw shifter for precise, mechanical gear changes.

Exclusive "Carl Edwards" Visuals & Interior
This edition is instantly recognizable by its aggressive "Executive Muscle" aesthetic and unique signature touches.

Aero Body Kit: A 4-piece Roush aerobody kit, high-flow grille, and rear window louvers.

Signed Authenticity: The car features heavily signed components by Carl Edwards himself, a hallmark of this contest-exclusive duo.

The "Edwards" Cockpit:

Custom Roush sport leather seats with specialized embroidery.

White-face gauges and a serialized dash plaque.

Specialized exterior graphics package unique to the Carl Edwards livery.

Collector Status & Rarity

This vehicle represents a convergence of low-mileage preservation and extreme production scarcity.

1 of 2 Production: Verified as one of only two units manufactured for this specific edition.

Survivor Condition: With fewer than 1,500 miles, the car remains in factory-fresh condition, having been curated as part of a private family collection since its original contest win.

Originality: Features original hood pins, factory graphics, and the signature Roush 18-inch forged chrome wheels.

Investor Note: While many Roush Mustangs are considered "limited," a 1-of-2 contest car is a "true-limit" vehicle. Its connection to the 2008 NASCAR season, Carl Edwards' most successful year makes it a primary target for both Mustang enthusiasts and NASCAR historians.
