Ford is sending its first Shelby GT350 Mustang to the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction.
The particular example is said to be the first publicly available production unit of the new GT350, likely fetching a significant premium over the retail sticker price.

All proceeds from the no-reserve auction will be donated to JDRF, an organization that focuses on type-1 diabetes (T1D) research.
“JDRF is privileged to work with Ford, and we are extremely grateful for the generous support from Ford and its employees through the years,” said JDRF chairman John Brady. “We are honored to be part of the company’s 50-year celebration of the Shelby GT350 at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale.”
Unveiled last month in Los Angeles, the new GT350 is outfitted with Ford’s most powerful naturally aspirated engine yet — a 5.2-liter V8 with over 500 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
The winning bidder will be able to choose from any available colors and package options.
