2011 Shelby GT350 Auctioned at Barrett-Jackson
Last Updated on Saturday, 1 May 2010 03:21 Written by a2e Saturday, 1 May 2010 03:21
A 2011 Shelby GT350 sold for $137,500 during the 8th Annual Barrett-Jackson Auction in West Palm Beach, Florida, on April 3, 2010. Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (Pink Sheets:CSBI), auctioned the #350 Shelby GT350 at No Reserve at the Barrett-Jackson event.
“The 2011 GT350 is an amazing car with performance worthy of the Shelby name,” said John Luft, president of Shelby American. “Because it’s such a limited production vehicle, the new GT350 has already attracted the attention of collectors, as well as serious enthusiasts. They recognize both the performance capabilities and rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable cars in the world.”
The 2011 Shelby GT350 was introduced at Barrett-Jackson earlier this year and the winning bidder will receive the serial number 350. Because 2011 Ford Mustang GT production began about the same time as the auction, Shelby American sold the rights to the serial number 350 car. The Shelby will be built in Las Vegas when the base Mustang becomes available. In addition, Carroll plans to personally drive the car before it is delivered to the lucky bidder at the Shelby American factory.
The Shelby GT350 is a post title program based on the new Ford Mustang GT. A customer purchases a car from a local Ford dealer, which is turned into a GT350 by the Shelby American Team. A limited number will be built in the 2011 model year. A Ford Mustang GT can be dropped shipped by a Ford dealer to Shelby’s Las Vegas facility for conversion or a customer can arrange to have a properly specified car transported to the factory. Only a small run of the cars is scheduled to be completed. Customers interested in a GT350 should contact Roger Sorel at (702) 942-7325 or log onto www.gt350.shelbyamerican.com

Last Updated on Friday, 26 March 2010 09:20 Written by a2e Friday, 26 March 2010 09:20
The Barrett-Jackson Auction Company announced today that Commissioner Burt Aaronson officially declared March 27-April 3, 2010, “Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction Week” in Palm Beach County. Aaronson presented the proclamation to Rick Vymlatil, president/CEO of Palm Beach County Expositions Inc., on Tuesday in honor of the 8th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Palm Beach and other automotive-themed events hosted by Barrett-Jackson beginning tomorrow.
“Everyone at Barrett-Jackson appreciates the support of the current Commissioner Aaronson and the Palm Beach County during the past eight years,” said Craig Jackson, Chairman/CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Dynamic partnerships with area organizations and the enthusiasm of Palm Beach County residents have helped make our annual auction and activities unlike any other automotive event in the country.”
“Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction Week” in Palm Beach County kicks off tomorrow at 3 p.m. with the Inaugural Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Road Rally. The rally will travel from the Palm Beach County Convention Center to the Gucci Courtyard on Worth Avenue, with local car clubs as participants. The opening weekend continues tomorrow evening with Barrett-Jackson Night at CityPlace from 4-8 p.m.
On Sunday, Wayne Akers Ford in Lake Worth will host the 3rd annual Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Cruise-In from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Barrett-Jackson executives will attend the Cruise-In to greet local car enthusiasts and select three “Barrett-Jackson Choice Awards.”
“We have taken our presence in Palm Beach to an entirely new level this year,” added Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “Communities throughout Palm Beach County have played a major role in making Barrett-Jackson the premier collector car auction on the East Coast. We have ratcheted up the thrills this year with several grassroots events and of course, another exciting auction on April 1-3.”
Barrett-Jackson shifts its focus to the Americraft Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds on Wednesday, where it will host “The Party” at 7 p.m. For $75 per couple, guests can enjoy great food and entertainment while partying the night away with Barrett-Jackson.
Another Barrett-Jackson tradition will get a new twist this year at the Palm Beach event. Over the past several years, the Darrell Gwynn Foundation has raised funds at Barrett-Jackson by auctioning cars with 100% of the proceeds benefiting its programs. Before each collector car auction starts, the Foundation gives a wheelchair to a deserving child. To further the organization’s fundraising efforts, Barrett-Jackson will also conduct a live auction with several unique items and experiences to benefit the Darrell Gwynn Foundation during “The Party” on Wednesday night.
The Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach collector car auction takes center stage on Thursday through Saturday. The auction action begins with the automobila before moving to the world’s most desirable vehicles crossing the block at No Reserve.
A complete schedule of events for “Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction Week” in Palm Beach County is available at www.barrett-jackson.com.
