The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is definitely at the center of all the muscle/pony car limelight at the moment having been launched at the 2019 North American International Auto Show, Detroit recently. On top of this the first production build slot has been auctioned with the VIN number ending 001 at Barrett-Jackson, Scottsdale for $1.1 million.

The car was bought my Barrett Jackson’s CEO and chairman Craig Jackson, with Edsel Ford II and Aaron Shelby, grandson of the late Carroll Shelby present at the auction making it quite the historical event. All the money raised will go to JDRF, a research foundation for the cure of diabetes.
