The #25 Ford Mustang which is currently competing for this year’s Supercars Championship is being auctioned, and it could be a relatively cheap purchase if it were to win the title or the Bathurst 1000 in just a month’s time.
Walkinshaw Andretti United is selling chassis WR028 to free up space at its Clayton factory before this Mustang’s driver, Chaz Mostert, gets a new racer next year.
Hosted by Lloydsthe auction ends on Sunday 15 September at 7pm (AEST) – just a few hours after the flag drops on this year’s Sandown 500 endurance race.

That means whoever buys Mostert’s Mustang will be buying a car before the season ends, with the Bathurst 1000, Gold Coast 500 and Adelaide 500 closing out the year.
Walkinshaw has done this before, having sold Mostert’s 2021 Holden Commodore racer for $610,000 in September the same year, before winning the Bathurst 1000 the following month.
The Mustang-chassis WR028 debuted at the start of Supercars’ ‘Gen3’ era in 2023, and while it went winless last year – giving Mostert his first year without a win or pole position – the car and its driver are in form.
With three wins so far this year, including back-to-back victories in Sydney, Mostert is within 81 points of championship leader Will Brown, with a maximum of 1200 points still up for grabs in the four remaining rounds of the season.
Although the sale is likely to close before Monday, the car won’t be delivered to its new owner until next year, where it will be dressed in the livery it will (hopefully) complete the Bathurst 1000 with.
For the first time, Walkinshaw will also include the race-modified 5.4-liter Coyote V8 engine under the hood of the Mustang for sale, rather than leaving the future owner to source their own power source.
At the time of writing (3 p.m., September 12), the bid is up to $210,000.
