Bidding hits $1M for a '68 Ford Mustang at Friday's Barrett-Jackson collector car auction
A 1968 Ford Mustang Custom Fastback brought in $1 million and a first production 2022 Ford Shelby GT500KR went for $700,000 on Friday at Barrett-Jackson.
Both were auctioned for charity. The Mustang was custom-built and auctioned to benefit The Stars Foundation, which is the Saskatchewan-based Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service that was instrumental in assisting during the 2018 tragedy in which 16 people died when the bus of a hockey team from the Canadian province crashed.
Friday's top non-charity sale was a 1956 Chevy Bel Air Custom Coupe that sold for $352,000.
The nine-day collector car auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale offers a stream of classics from an array of generations to interest collectors locally and from across the country.
While Barrett-Jackson is the biggest Arizona car auction, and can be watched on TV, other auction houses are in the Valley for Arizona Car Week, as well.
Here are nine auctioned at Barrett-Jackson Friday, and the sale prices.
