The popularity of the Ford Mustang in the world of sports cars is unmatched. It even received title of being the top-selling sports coupe for the seventh straight year in 2021. But despite that feat, the Blue Oval company is still looking to expand the reach of the coupe by partnering with renowned convenience store chain, 7-Eleven.
Model 711
Dubbed the Model 711, the 7-Eleven-inspired Ford Mustang comes with customization inside and out in a nod to the chain. The Model 711 was brought to famed automotive restoration shop Galpin Auto Sports in Los Angeles to make the vehicle look dazzling, before it will be given away to one lucky 7-Eleven customer.
Exterior-wise, the Mustang gets racing stripes in the trademark 7-Eleven colors of orange, green, and red. It also comes with various stickers such as a 7-Eleven logo on the hood and a ‘Need For Slurpee’ decal by the gas tank cover. Other features on the outside are the night owl emblem, super green wheels, and a cherry red underglow.

Inside, the custom leather seats are also draped in 7-Eleven colors, while the gear shifter is turned into a Slurpee drink. To enjoy the convenience store’s products on the go, a custom pizza snack holder is installed including cup holders next to it, large enough to fit a Big Gulp or Slurpee. Lastly, the cabin has a custom-made OG To-Go Coffee Since 1964 air freshener.
No details for the powertrain have been shared. But based on exterior design, more notably on the grille, one can expect that the Model 711 is based on the Mustang GT. This should mean that the coupe has the 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 engine good for 450 horsepower and 558 Nm of torque. And looking at the interior shot, the Slurpee gear shifter appears to be the 10-speed automatic transmission instead of the 6-speed manual.

“We had hundreds of thousands of 7-Eleven car fanatics and customers interact with the voting of customization elements for the Model 711 – and now one lucky customer still has a chance to win these unbelievable wheels.
