Barrett-Jackson is rounding up some of the best examples of classic and late-model Ford Mustangs to cross the auction block during its 48th Annual Scottsdale Auction, January 12-20, 2019, at WestWorld of Scottsdale. Included in the impressive herd of Pony cars stampeding into Scottsdale is the Mustang that started it all, the first ʼ65 pre-production hardtop to receive a VIN (preview). Also included in the docket is a ’93 SVT Cobra R (preview), which is an incredibly hard-to-find, low-mileage Fox Body model. Adding some Hollywood horsepower to the auction docket is “Eleanor” (preview), one of the original ’67 custom coupes used in the movie “Gone in 60 Seconds.”
“Scottsdale will be one of our very best events for Ford Mustang enthusiasts during our 48-year history,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “We’re especially excited to have the first Mustang to ever receive a VIN number cross our block at No Reserve. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for collectors to own an iconic piece of automotive history. All of the Mustangs crossing the block in Scottsdale carry a piece of VIN 002’s DNA and represent the best examples from every generation of Mustang.”
