Four charity cars also crossed the block. First up was a custom-
built 1968 Mustang Fastback Resto-Mod that left folks cheering
as the gavel fell on a $1 million bid, setting a new auction
world-record. One hundred percent of the hammer price went
to the Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service (STARS) Foundation.
Craig Jackson and Steve Davis drove the excitement as they
joined Aaron Shelby, Henry Ford III and other Ford and Shelby
VIPs to sell the brand-new first production Shelby GT500KR,
which commemorates Shelby American’s 60th anniversary.
The vehicle sold for $700,000, with 100% of the hammer price
going to the Carroll Shelby Foundation and JDRF, supporting
Type 1 diabetes research.
Also on the day’s charity docket was a brand-new 2022 Toyota
Tundra TRD Pro Crewmax pickup VIN 002. One hundred
percent of its $550,000 hammer price supports the Toyota
US Paralympic Fund, which supports Team USA’s Paralympic
athletes, including Arizona native Kaitlyn Verfuerth, who
joined Craig and Steve on the block.
Music icon and Barrett-Jackson friend Bret Michaels fired up
the audience when he stopped by to auction off his 2007
Bentley Continental GT, with a portion of the proceeds
benefiting his Life Rocks Foundation, which helps raise
awareness of Type 1 diabetes. Following some spirited bidding,
the silver luxury vehicle sold for $126,500.
Michaels then lent his star power to the auction of a 1973 De
Tomaso Pantera. The Italian supercar sold for $155,000, with
100% of the hammer price going to the Barrow Neurological
Foundation, an organization near and dear to Michaels’ heart.
Two impeccably restored kiddie rides were top sellers during
the morning’s Automobilia Auction. A figure of Borden Dairy’s
lovable mascot Elsie the Cow took the top spot, selling for
$86,250, and a 1950s Chris-Craft Woody Speed Boat ride
made waves with its $46,000 sale price.
