Remember that 1969 Shelby GT-500 with under 9,000 miles we covered few months ago?
Well, that classic American beauty recently pulled in $280,000 at an auction in Centre Hall, PA, according to a Central PA news report, which really shouldn’t come as surprise considering how rare of a find it is as ’69 Shelby with only 8,500 miles.

Hoping to be the first to get your hands on a 2015 Mustang?
Then you might want to check on the cost of flights to Scottsdale, Ariz., for the weekend of January 18, unless you already live in the area.
The first retail model of the new s550 will be sold at the annual Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction with proceeds benefiting JDRF, a leading organization for funding diabetes research.

Continuing to build on a long legacy with Barrett-Jackson, Ford Mustangs claimed four of the top ten sales at the car collector’s Las Vegas show. We know – it really isn’t major news considering how popular the pony car always is at the event. Still, it’s always nice to revel in new facts that speak to America’s passion for Mustangs like those noted by “Business Insider,” in a report about the recent Vegas show. Earning the ninth spot for Barrett-Jackson’s top ten sales for the weekend was a 2008 Ford Mustang Saleen that sold for $180,000.

One of the three Eleanor “hero” cars from Gone in 60 Seconds will roll across the auction block next month. Eleven 1967 Mustang fastbacks were converted to Shelby GT500 “Eleanor” lookalikes for the movie, but only three were used as hero cars. One of them, used for many of the driving scenes and promotional materials, sold for $1,000,000 at Mecum’s 26th Original Spring Classic 2013 auction in May. This example will be at Mecum’s Chicago auction set to take place October 10-12, 2013.

The engineering and design teams at Ford Motor Company have produced a unique U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds Edition 2014 Ford Mustang GT. This car will be donated by Ford to be sold at the Gathering of Eagles charity event on Thursday, Aug. 1 during the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture Oshkosh 2013 – the World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration.

Perhaps no other Mustang has been replicated as much as the “Eleanor” from the “Gone in 60 Seconds,” the 1967 Shelby GT500 becoming an instant classic thanks to the movie’s famous car chase scene. Officially licensed versions sell well into the six figures, so we were wondering what this real version – one of eleven built and just three surviving – would go for at Mecum’s Original Spring Classic auction in Indianapolis, IN. While we expected a hefty sum, weren’t prepared for the final hammer price – an even $1 million.
