SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. ‒ April 8, 2026 – Barrett-Jackson (https://www.barrett-jackson.com/), The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, has an amazing group of fabulous Fords rolling across the auction block with No Reserve during the Palm Beach Auction, April 16-18, 2026, at the South Florida Fairgrounds. From a classic 1957 Thunderbird E-Code convertible (Lot #765) sports car to a Whipple-supercharged 2021 Shelby Super Snake Speedster (Lot #710), the collection of Fords being offered in Florida represent some of the best vehicles to rumble out of the Detroit powerhouse automaker.
“Ford Motor Company put the world on wheels with the Model T and then went on to change the international perception of American cars when it won the 24 hours of Le Mans 60 years ago,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “The incredible group of Ford vehicles crossing our auction block celebrates some of the high points in the ‘Blue Oval’s’ history. This is one of the most intriguing rosters of Ford cars and trucks crossing the Palm Beach Barrett-Jackson auction block we’ve ever had; it even includes the frame-off restored 1957 Ford Thunderbird (Lot #457) owned by NASCAR driver Kyle Busch and his wife Samantha.”
From the Legacy on Wheels Collection, the 1957 Thunderbird E-Code convertible (Lot #765) is powered by a Thunderbird Special V-8 engine and three-speed automatic transmission. The “E-bird” is equipped with Master Guide power steering and Ford Swift Sure power brakes. The Minter-restored red interior is finished to concours standards with correct embossments. Currently owned by Samantha Busch, wife of NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, who both plan to be on the block for the sale, another professionally restored 1957 Ford Thunderbird (Lot #457) is powered by a rebuilt V-8 paired with an automatic transmission. It received a Gold Award in concours judging and achieved Senior Status at the 2013 Classic Thunderbird Club International regional convention in San Jose, California.
On the other end of the spectrum is a 2021 Ford Shelby Super Snake Speedster (Lot #710), that is build number 15 of 98 produced. The Speedster is powered by an 825+hp Whipple-supercharged V-8 and a six-speed automatic transmission. It features a functional dual-intake steel Ram Air hood, 11-inch-wide black forged aluminum wheels and Shelby aluminum front fenders designed to accommodate them.
“In addition to collectible original cars, we’ll auction several remarkable custom Fords,” said Jackson. “A few that caught our team’s attention include a stunning red 1971 F-100 custom pickup (Lot #784), a custom 1933 Ford Woody Wagon (Lot #429), a 1968 Ford Mustang fastback (Lot #743) nicknamed ‘Geronimo’ and a custom restored 1967 Ford Mustang fastback (Lot #736). Each piece of rolling art offers a unique vision from the shop that did the build.”
