National Press Release

MALVERN, Pa., June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading online retailer of Ford Mustang performance parts AmericanMuscle.com is opening its doors to more than 150 adrenaline-infused Mustangs on Sunday July 19th for the 1st Annual AmericanMuscle.com Car Show and Charity Event.

Drawing some of the most impressively tuned up and tricked out 'Stangs from across the Northeast, all proceeds from the show will go to benefit Homes for Our Troops, a charity designed to provide disabled veterans with homes when they return from service.

Stemming from a strong appreciation for the sacrifice given by the men and women in the Armed Forces, AmericanMuscle.com has already made more than $6,000 in contributions to this patriotic charity over the last two years. This year, American Muscle aims to crush previous contributions, almost doubling that number with an impressive donation goal of $5,000.

In addition to a full stable of 'Stangs lining the lot, AmericanMuscle.com will be pulling its collective resources to put on the ultimate Mustang enthusiast event. Representatives from some of your favorite aftermarket manufacturers will be on hand to answer questions and talk Mustang performance.

If you're looking to check the size of your Mustang's muscle, Axcelerated Motorsports will be performing free dyno pulls. A 2010 Mustang GT Premium will also be on hand for viewing. Or, for those who prefer to ride instead of watch, two lucky raffle winners will get rides in Robert Self's land-speed record-breaking Ford GT, again with all the proceeds going directly to Homes for Our Troops.

Further boosting this year's donation to Homes for Our Troops will be a raffle with more than $1000 worth of premium go-fast-and-look-good-doing-it Mustang parts and accessories. Entries can plan on best of show awards. And everyone in attendance will enjoy up to 40 percent off direct-from-the-warehouse purchases, plenty of great giveaways, a live DJ, photo ops with the AM Girls, free food and drinks, and fun games and activities especially for the kids.

The 1st Annual AmericanMuscle.com Car Show and Charity Event is set to take place on Sunday July 19th from 11am to 4pm. A rain date is set for August 2nd. Registration is now open online at http://show2009.americanmuscle.com/, or by phone at 800.768.8716. For more information on Homes for Our Troops, visit www.homesforourtroops.org.
