SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – May 28, 2026 – Barrett-Jackson (https://www.barrett-jackson.com/), The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, has a trio of remarkable GTs leading a group of Ford-powered collectible vehicles set to cross the block during the inaugural Columbus Auction, June 25-27, 2026, at the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds. The Blue Oval is well-represented on the Columbus Auction Select Preview, led by the three late-model, limited production Ford GTs, including a 2021 Ford GT Heritage ’66 Heritage Edition (Lot #731) that is one of 50 built for 2021 with the Heritage Edition package and has 360 actual miles.
“Ford transformed automobile manufacturing and kicked production into high gear with the moving assembly line,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “From the first Model T to the world-champion Ford GT, the Blue Oval has inspired generations of daily drivers and racing enthusiasts worldwide. Some exceptional Ford-powered vehicles are on our Select Preview that honor that legacy, including three extraordinary Ford GTs that carry the DNA of that historic 1966 Le Mans victory over Ferrari. Each will cross the block with No Reserve, giving bidders the chance to add an exclusive race inspired car to their collection.”
The 2021 Ford GT ’66 Heritage Edition (Lot #731), one of 50 built for 2021 with Heritage Edition package, is finished in Frozen White with black and Race Red accents and features No. 98 roundels. With just 360 miles on the odometer, this supercar pays tribute to the No. 98 Ford GT40 MK II P/1015 driven by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby in the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona. Also on the docket is a one-owner 2022 Ford GT (Lot #742) that is one of one painted in Diamond Blue and has 38 miles. Finished in Liquid Blue tri-coat paint with Studio Collection-specific Competition Orange graphics, a 2021 Ford GT Studio Collection Series Edition (Lot #737) is equipped with Competition Orange mirror caps, a push-button activated front lift system and speed-activated rear wing. All three GTs are powered by 660-horsepower twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6 engines with seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions.
Classic Ford-powered muscle includes the Candy Apple Red 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 (Lot #743). This unrestored survivor with 4,435 original miles is powered by its matching-numbers 429ci S-code V-8 engine paired with its matching-numbers four-speed manual transmission and matching-numbers 3.91 Traction-Lok rear axle. Documented as KK No. 1412, it retains its original drivetrain and factory components throughout. The original black bucket-seat interior remains preserved with factory-correct finishes and components. It received a 100-point appraisal confirming its authenticity and preservation and the sale includes documentation and memorabilia documenting the vehicle’s provenance.
Paying homage to the Hollywood blockbuster film “Gone in 60 Seconds” is a 1967 Ford Mustang Eleanor Tribute Edition (Lot #727) built by licensed Eleanor builder Ikonic Concepts. Finished in Pepper Gray with black stripes, it is powered by a supercharged, fuel-injected V-8 engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission with a Go-Baby-Go shifter button. A 1968 Ford Mustang Licensed Eleanor 25th Anniversary Limited Edition (Lot #738) is a certified Eleanor build, also by Ikonic Concepts, and is powered by a Ford Coyote 5.0-liter aluminum-block engine. It is finished in Pepper Gray Metallic two-stage exterior paint and has a signed dash by Chuck Picerni, who was the original stunt coordinator for the 2000 “Gone in 60 Seconds” movie production.
“The Ford Mustang created an entirely new class of vehicle and rewrote how performance was marketed when it was introduced in 1964,” said Jackson. “It forced other manufacturers to respond, igniting the muscle car war of the 1960s. The Mustang remains an enthusiast favorite, and we have late-model and classic options headed to Columbus, including a unrestored survivor 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 and a custom 1967 Ford Mustang fastback.”
The custom 1967 Ford Mustang fastback (Lot #717) has a Ford Racing big-block Ford V-8 engine with aluminum heads that produces 479 horsepower, paired with a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission. The exterior includes fresh PPG PR4 Flame Red paint and features TMI custom door panels and dash with red stitching and Alcantara accents.
Ford trucks and SUVs consigned for the Columbus Auction include a custom 1970 Ford Bronco (Lot #440) with a V-8 engine under the hood rated at 390 horsepower. Finished in a custom two-tone paint scheme, it rides on 17-inch smoothie wheels and is equipped with a removable hardtop, insulated cab, Dakota Digital gauges, a tilt steering column and aftermarket air conditioning. A custom 1965 Ford F-100 pickup known as “The Red Devil” (preview) is powered by a V-8 engine equipped with Cobra Le Mans valve covers, a traditional Edelbrock 650-cfm carburetor and a performance intake. It is finished in Rangoon Red with Wimbledon White accents and features an interior that includes a Vintage Air climate-control system with integrated dash vents, Dynamat Xtreme sound-deadening material and a modern sound system.
Also crossing the block to benefit the Joe Burrow Foundation is a 2022 Ford Bronco (preview) 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.
