The error that this sentence makes is D. misplaced modifier.

It means that the modifier (with an incredible sound system) is placed where it shouldn't be - it is too far from the noun it modifies. It should modify the noun Mustang, but the way this sentence is incorrectly written, it seems that this modifier refers to summer vacation - as if it had an incredible sound system, and not the car.
