Three Awesome Mustangs Sold At Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale

three_mustangs_barrett_jackson_leadart

Just last weekend, Barrett-Jackson celebrated it’s 45th anniversary during the Scottsdale auction for 2016. And if you haven’t heard by now, this year’s event was a huge success, one for the books.

The auction totaled over 1,469 vehicles sold and brought in a total sales number of $105,000,000, shattering any and all previous records in the history of ‘the world’s greatest collector car auctions.’

So with all the success the show brought over the weekend, we wanted to share three of our favorite Mustangs that were auctioned off.

2007 Ford Mustang Roush Drag Pak

Sold for a cool $35,200 last weekend, this ’07 Roush Drag Pak Mustang is an excellent example of Roush’s capabilities for the time. The Drag Pak cars were designed to be a true street-and-strip car; one you could to take to the track, throw a pair of drag radials on the rear, run a high 11-second to mid 12-second quarter mile (thanks to a Roush supercharger making 435 horsepower), and drive home all in the same day.

This particular Roush is one of 13 examples, and one of two Vista Blue painted exterior models with a five-speed manual transmission.

With only 1,774 original miles on its odometer, this Roush supercharged Mustang is barely broken in and ready for the strip with its included original factory Roush drag slick tires.

Coupled from the factory with a 4.30 gear-ratio Detroit Locker rear-end and a factory drag racing tachometer, for an original MSRP of $69,000, whoever was lucky enough to snatch this car up at only half the original price sure got a screamin’ deal. Check out the original posting for the car here.

While not the original exterior paint, this '69 Mach 1 has a fantastic shine with its new 'Shelby Yellow' paint job.

1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback

We have to admit, we’re a bit biased when it comes to any generation of the Mach 1 – but can you blame us? This Mach 1 sold for $49,500 over the weekend, and we think it was worth every penny.

Considered one of the more ‘rarer’ Mach 1 models, this Mustang is a factory R-code chassis is powered by the optional 428 cubic-inch Super Cobra Jet V8 engine.

For starters, the car has power brakes, a modern instrument cluster in the dashboard, an AM/FM stereo, and tinted glass. The period-correct replacement 4-speed manual transmission has been upgraded with a Hurst shifter, and the package comes together with a custom Magnaflow stainless steel headers and exhaust system nicely. It’s easy to tell that a lot of time, money, and effort has went into this ’69 Mach 1, and we think that’s what makes it one of our favorites at the show. Take a look at the original posting here for more details.

With it's convertible soft-top and subtile styling, this GT 350 could make for an awesome daily driver.

1984 Ford Mustang GT350 Convertible

Out of all of the Mustangs available at last weekend’s Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction, this ’84 Mustang GT350 had to be one of the coolest for sale. This GT350 model is an icon of its own, as it symbolizes the 20th anniversary of the Mustang.

190252_Engine_Web.jpgGRThis prime example has a total of 101 actual miles on its odometer, and sports the original Oxford White exterior finish in almost perfect condition. It’s easy to tell this ultra-rare Mustang, which is a limited production model of only 5,261 cars produced, has been excellently preserved over the last 30 years. Although the 20th anniversary model was available in many engine options, the 5.0-liter H.O. V8 powered pony cars with a manual transmission were highly-desirable for their 4V carburetors, which were considered the peak of carburetor performance at the time. This example came equipped with the optional power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, a traction lock axle, front air dam with integrated fog lights, factory air conditioning, and an AM/FM cassette radio with an additional power amp.

The 20th anniversary GT 350 Mustang was a fantastic way to show how far the Mustang had come in 20 years time. Tasteful changes to this limited production model included a 'Canyon Red' interior treatment, lower rocker 'GT 350' stripes, body-side moldings, Pony fender emblems, and a unique anniversary dashboard badge and matching serialized vehicle number.

Out of the 5,261 coupe and convertible models produced for the 20th anniversary GT 350 Mustang, only 587 of those models were a convertible with a 5.0-liter H.O. V8 which had the optional 5-speed manual transmission (only 282 with the 4V carburetors, as some models came with an automatic transmission and fuel injected CFI 5.0-liter engines). With the insane amount of nostalgia this car has to offer, we have no problem believing it sold for $71,500. Check out the original posting for more information here.
