Preview: The Mustangs of Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach 2012

The very high-end Barrett-Jackson auction is back and is hitting Palm Beach, Florida from April 5-7, 2012. The auction is located at the South Florida fairgrounds. There are a few Mustangs ready to go and here’s a peek at a few of them.


Meet Project “Yellow Horse.” It’s from the Marc Schiliro Collection and not a cent has been spared. This Pro-Touring 1969 Ford Mustang went through a two year Resto-Mod by Mike Rademacher and is powered by a 408 5-speed V8 This Mustang has 768 test miles and Screaming Yellow paint from the 2006 model.

This 1965 beautiful Ford Mustang convertible is in great condition with a 289cid V8. It also includes air conditioning, AM/FM/CD radio with iPod port and gorgeously restored in black.

Black accents and a BOSS 429 hood scoop set it off, while the interior has Mach 1 sport front seats and the rear suspension features a Heidts 4-link with panhard bar, subframe connectors, chassis stiffener and adjustable rear coil overs with chrome springs. Stopping power provided by SSBC 4-wheel brakes and 18-inch Boss wheels and tires.

Below, is a beautiful 1972 Mach 1 convertible. Under the hood there sits a 351 Cleveland, Edelbrock intake, and Holley four barrel carburetor. It includes a comfort package with options that include power steering, power disc brakes, new power top, power windows, factory air conditioning, AM/FM/CD stereo, full factory gauge package plus tach. Aesthetically it has the Mach 1 front grille and lighting, upgraded hood, full Mach 1 body striping and badging, and 17-inch American Racing wheels.

If you’re in the market for a late-model ROUSH Mustang, look no further. Here is a 2007 supercharged 4.6-liter that is great for the drag strip. This ROUSH puts down 430hp and 400lb/ft of torque with a 5-speed transmission connected to a ROUSH short-throw shifter, retro stick and shifter ball. The dash is autographed by Jack Roush and it comes with 18-inch chrome wheels and original tires. Not only that, but a set of 15-inch rear wheels with brand new, never used drag slicks are also included.

Only two Drag Paks were produced in Vista Blue and this is #9 of 13 total of the ROUSH Drag Pak cars, although, the serial plate in the engine bay says #9 of 50. ROUSH began production with 50 cars in mind but only 13 production cars were actually made. Check out more here! Oh yeah, it only has 1,500 miles on the odometer!

Here is another beauty – a 1967 custom convertible Mustang that comes equipped with a 429 Cobra Jet engine. It features the side exit exhaust and only has 2,100 miles on the clock since the restoration project completed.

The stopping power is provided by Wilwood rotors with Brembo polished calipers, Shelby CS40 chrome 20×9 front and 20×10 rear wheels, Shelby sequential LED tail lamps, billet grille emblems, and a long list of modifications.
