First Shelby GT350 Mustang to be Auctioned at Barrett-Jackson

BRIGHTON, Mich. - In light of five decades of success, Ford has decided to send the first production unit of the Shelby GT350 home with one lucky bidder. The very first Shelby GT350 Mustang will be auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson Auction on January 17th in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Ford Motor Company's first Shelby GT350 Mustang will be auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson Auction with all proceeds benefitting JDRF. Ford has been a supporter of JDRF, the country's leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research, since 1983. To show their appreciation for the donation to the organization, all Ford team members who were apart of the Shelby GT350's design and development will sign the pony car.

Along with the Shelby GT350 auction, Ford will also have their 2015 vehicle lineup at the event, including the new Mustang, F-150, and Expedition, for ride-and-drives. Attendees will also have the opportunity to experience a few "hot laps" with professional drivers from Miller Motorsports Park in the Shelby American-built GT500 Super Snake and Shelby Focus ST.
