Special Barrett Jackson Shelby Mustang Announced
Three icons in the automotive industry, Barrett Jackson, Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company, worked together to create a very special limited edition Ford Mustang that was unveiled recently at the famed auction site. Only 100 models will be made and a portion of every sale will go to the Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation.
“The Arizona and Las Vegas Ford dealers have been strong supporters of mine over the years, which is why Shelby Automobiles joined with Barrett-Jackson and Ford Motor Company to create a limited edition car just for their customers,” said Carroll Shelby, CEO of Shelby Automobiles. “And I’m pleased that a portion of the sales will benefit an endowment we’re building at the Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation. This is a rare chance for enthusiasts to enjoy a very special car and support a great cause.”
The Ford Motor Company was very excited to be involved in the special edition and have long supported Barrett Jackson. The company was behind the recent Family Values Day that took place during the auction, giving families a little something extra to do while they attended the auction. Discounted tickets were made available and all those under the age of 12 were admitted absolutely free.
“Barrett-Jackson’s unrivaled lifestyle events celebrate America’s love of the automobile,” said Ford Motor Company Phoenix Regional Sales Manager, Tim Stoehr. “Their passion for the automobile has resulted in a unique venue to share our vehicles with the public. This limited edition car symbolizes our high octane relationship and gives a few lucky people the chance to own a piece of the Barrett-Jackson experience.”
Barrett Jackson is an auction that is heavily attended by Mustang aficionado’s and has been the site of the some of the highest selling auctions for this iconic car in the past. This year’s event was a show stopper with many classic Mustangs reaching the six figure amount during their sales. Even regular models managed to bring in quite a lot of interest.
“We have a long tradition of selling the best Shelbys in the world because they are among the most desirable cars ever built,” said Craig Jackson, Chairman/CEO of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company. “Over the past several years, we’ve worked with Ford Motor Company to raise almost a million and a half dollars for Carroll’s Foundation by offering new Shelby cars for sale. It was natural to celebrate our connection to these cars with a very limited edition Shelby.”
The special edition has been highly modified and offers Mustang lovers a change to own a true legend. “As someone who has been personally involved with Shelby cars for the past three decades, I’m very proud to be part of this limited edition car,” noted Steve Davis, President of Barrett-Jackson. “Rarity and documentation are two of the keys to collectability, which is why only 100 Barrett-Jackson Shelby GTs are scheduled to be built. Each car will come with complete documentation and be included in the factory authorized registry.”
