Before Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction started last week we told you about a custom 2013 Shelby GT500 that would be given away by SPEED TV as part of their Hagerty Fantasy Bid Competition. All you needed to do to get a chance at winning the car was simply enter the contest, and SPEED would...

It’s the 790hp beast we reported about almost year ago to this day and now there’s a fantastic looking right hand drive version on it’s way to its happy owner. It remains to be seen what kind of a premium is added on to the investment, if any, for a right hand drive version, but it’s clear by...

Last month we reported that Shelby had launched a new widebody kit for the 2005-2009 Mustang, allowing owners to add an extra six inches to the rear and three inches to the front of their cars. The kit includes front and rear fenders constructed of high-quality fiberglass, 20×10 front and 20×13...

Earlier this month we told you about a rare 1965 Shelby GT350R going up for auction,* the second time in less than six months that one of the rare vintage Mustang race cars has come up for sale. However, unlike the previous GT350R, which was sold by RM Auctions back in August in Monterey for an...

Our last featured Mustang from the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction is the famous “Producer” 1965 Mustang built by the Ring Brothers. We first saw this stunning machine at the SEMA show in 2011, and like other cars built by the company, we were completely smitten with the incredible craftsmanship...

After seeing this stunning 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 cross the block at Barrett-Jackson, we’ve come to the conclusion that the king of Ford’s muscle cars looks best in black – Raven Black to be specific. Just 93 examples were painted in this color, making it even more rare than the usual bright...

There’s something to be said about being first, and as far as collector cars go, being a first means also being more desirable. That’s why we had our eye on this Shelby GT350, which has the claim to fame of being the very first 167 Shelby Mustang built – of either model. The GT350 served as the...

One of three Boss 429 Mustangs for sale this year at Barrett-Jackson, this particular example set itself apart by having just 13,000 miles on the odometer. For the most part the car is original including the paint and drivetrain, and it comes with extras like a Deluxe Marti Report, a copy of the...

After an all-original 1965 Shelby GT350 “Barn Find” sold for an incredible $385,000 at last year’s Barrett-Jackson auction, we had our eye on this 1967 Shelby GT500. In a similar, all-original and unrestored condition and just 9,508 on the odometer, the car was ripe for a bidding war. That...

The past ownership of a car is just one of many factors that determines a car’s value, and for this particular 1965 Shelby GT350, its previous owner had a lot to do with its final selling price of $242,000 at Barrett-Jackson. Starting life as a race car, the GT350 was purchased by Ford in 1981...

Of all the Mustangs at Barrett-Jackson this year, the Shelby “Green Hornet” was undoubtedly the most anticipated. Originally constructed as a prototype by Ford, “The Green Hornet” managed to skip the crusher and lead a second life when it was sent to Shelby and used as an experimental vehicle...

We’re huge fans of the Ring Brothers and their custom creations, so any time we see one up for sale we check to see how feasible a second mortgage would be. Even then it would be hard to get our hands on one, as we’re not the only ones who admire the company’s work.* That’s why we expected...

The last several Boss 429 Mustangs we’ve seen go up for auction have sold for anywhere from $220,000 to more than $250,000, so the selling price of $170,500 for this particular example here at Barrett-Jackson seemed a little low. The culprit could have been the color combination – Pastel Blue...

The 2012 Shelby GT500 50th Anniversary Super Snake is surely destined to be a future classic. Introduced at the Detroit Auto Show last year, the special edition Mustang celebrates a half century of Shelby with a Black and Gold or White and Gold paint scheme. Just 100 of the 50th Anniversary cars...

It’s always interesting when we find stories about vintage Mustangs and celebrities and it’s even better when that Mustang is a Shelby. How can we forget Jim Morrison’s 1967 GT500? This time around comes an interesting story of Sean Penn’s former 1968 Shelby GT500 that was given to him by...

It’s rare to see a Shelby Mustang in all original condition, and even more so with low miles. That’s what makes this 1968 GT500KR so special, though, with all of its original parts and just 12,155 miles on the odometer. As a testament to its quality, the car is a Shelby American Automobile Club...

In the sea of amazing collector cars here at Barrett-Jackson a standard 1968 Shelby GT350 might not catch our eye. This particular example, however, has a Paxton supercharger underneath the hood that was added in 2011. The car also has its correct K-Code 289ci V8, 4-speed transmission, optional...

If you pay close attention to the Mustang world then you might remember the debacle that was Unique Performance. The Dallas-based company had a license from Shelby to build continuation Mustangs with appearance packages similar to “Eleanor” from Gone in 60 Seconds, designated as the GT500E...

Many of the Shelby Mustangs here at Barrett-Jackson are the typical high-dollar collector cars: low mileage, carefully restored or in original condition, matching numbers etc. This particular Shelby Mustang is a little different, though. Designated as an official Shelby continuation car, this...

The first of two custom 2013 Shelby GT500s being auctioned off for charity at Barrett-Jackson went across the block today, with the final selling price of $150,000 being donated to the Edith and Benson Ford Heart and Vascular Institute at the Henry Ford Hospital. The one-off Shelby was built by...
