2008 Barrett-Jackson Edition Shelby GT, Bette Davis Mustang To Star at Vegas Auction
The Shelby GT hits the auction block on Saturday during Speed's TV coverage of the event. The pony car is one of seven vehicles that will be sold at no reserve to benefit various charities. The proceeds from the sale of the Shelby GT, number eight of 100 produced, will benefit The Lili Claire Foundation. The foundation benefits children living with neurogenetic conditions.
Other vehicle sales that will benefit charities during the event include Kurt Busch's No. 2 Dodge Charger, a 2006 Mercury Volga Milan and a 2006 Ford Mustang GT customized by Funkmaster Flex.
The Bette Davis car has been on display at the Petersen Automotive museum and includes sales receipts, correspondence, owner I.D. cards and original license plates, said the auction house in a statement. Davis called a Los Angeles area Ford dealership to order the Mustang for her 72nd birthday. The car hits the auction block on Friday.
Inside Line says: A premier auction event in the land of the high rollers. The results should be fascinating to watch. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
