The first auction hosted by Barrett-Jackson in the Midwest, the three-day automotive lifestyle event will bring consignors, bidders and collector car enthusiasts from around the world for the chance to be a part of automotive history. The docket will include something for everyone, ranging from restored classics and professionally built customs to coveted supercars, including a one-of-one 2022 Ford GT finished in Diamond Blue. Also crossing the block is a custom 2022 Ford Bronco built by RealTruck in collaboration with the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow that will be sold with 100% of the hammer price benefiting the Joe Burrow Foundation.
“We’re excited to host our collector car family in America’s heartland during our inaugural Columbus Auction,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “This region has an incredibly passionate automotive community, and we look forward to showcasing an unforgettable lineup of collector cars and creating a signature event for enthusiasts. Columbus represents the best of the Midwest, with upscale hotels, restaurants and entertainment, and being central to nearly half of the nation’s population. The newly renovated Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds will be the perfect location to continue building on this year’s auction momentum with hundreds of collectible vehicles crossing the block, including an incredible one-of-one 2022 Ford GT.”
The 2026 Columbus Auction will feature a diverse docket of supercars, muscle cars and award-winning restomods. Among the most anticipated is the one-of-one 2022 Ford GT, a pinnacle of modern American performance. This one-owner GT is the only example produced in Diamond Blue from the factory Extended Color Palette option, the same color (with a new name) used on only 18 examples of the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429. It is powered by a 660hp mid-mounted twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It has 39 actual miles and includes the original window sticker, factory build photos, factory marketing materials, an indoor car cover and a Hero replica car cover.
Crossing the block to benefit the Joe Burrow Foundation is a 2022 Ford Bronco that was built by RealTruck in collaboration with NFL quarterback Joe Burrow, the Joe Burrow Foundation and Pro Motorsports. Burrow, the starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, was selected first overall in the 2020 NFL Draft and is a three-time Pro Bowler. In 2022, he led the Bengals to a Super Bowl LVI appearance and is considered one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL.
The 2022 Ford Bronco is powered by a 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost engine mated to an automatic transmission. The custom four-door Bronco features numerous unique custom accents, including RealTruck AMP Vision steps, Superlift suspension, a Havoc Steel Bender bumper and RealTruck winch.
“Bidders are eager to be a part of this year’s event, and our docket will reflect our dedication to offer something for every type of collector,” said Jackson. “We’re especially excited to team up with NFL star quarterback Joe Burrow to offer a custom 2022 Ford Bronco with 100% benefitting the Joe Burrow Foundation. We’re proud to support the foundation’s mission to help the underserved and underprivileged by focusing on hunger relief and youth mental health.”
