barrett-jackson was finally back in las vegas it was more than a year and a half but boy the pen of demand showed people were ready hi i'm rick debruhl welcome to the barrett-jackson top 10 series i'm here with craig jackson craig after more than a year and a half finally getting back to las vegas it was a great moment wasn't it it was you know we were back in vegas a whole new venue so everything was a little bit different people came out and boy it was nice to have a real barrett jackson again we had a great selection of cars and the buyers responded all right so let's run down the top 10 sales for the barrett-jackson collector car auction in las vegas and number 10 is really cool right off the bat it's a 1966 mustang but this one is a very special story it's a gt k code owned by henry ford ii and it sold for 330 thousand dollars built especially for henry ford to drive at le mans during the 24-hour race weekend special paint special tan leather prototype bucket seats from what would end up on the 67 cougar a ford design center prototype for styling hf2 logos prominently displayed and then loaded with options one of one you know the deuce or henry ford ii was not fooling around he had this based on a k-car 271 solid lifter 289 good stuff so if you look inside and you look at these seats and they don't look quite mustang the way you would expect that's because these are from a 1967 cougar it was a little bit of a well moving forward kind of style that they have well being of course henry ford ii he had access to pre-production prototype parts and i'm going to bet you these are just that reproduction parts that were under evaluation for future cougars he says here i'll take those put them in the car here we have him all right another little cool thing when the car finally rolls to a stop we're going to show you the center of the steering wheel there you see it it says hf henry ford ii now i know the fella who owns the le mans winning ford gt from 1966 and wouldn't this look great parked in his collection alongside it perhaps he is one of the multiple phone bidders on this car as we cross two hundred thousand dollars and the car has actually spent the bulk of its life in france it's only come to the united states fairly recently four-speed manual transmission a one-off dashboard with a shelby-esque instrument pod but again that is not something that's out of the shelby mustang that was made by ford special department for this car truly unique and interesting piece of automotive history full records behind it we know exactly where why it was built where it was built what it was used for where it's been for the bulk of its life and now it's here at barrett-jackson very interesting at 66 le mans winner was reportedly restored at a cost of about 100 times what this car is bid i really think they ought to be a pair they're the same color after all raven black of course henry ford the second was the eldest grandson of henry ford i mean

double double what a normal 911 convertible would be but very exclusive and beautiful of course with that rear end yeah this one has just 1700 miles on the odometer more than 400 horsepower and like you say a hugely expensive option option but that meant you were in a very exclusive club one of the key features on this feature was the a-frame the windshield frame 70 millimeters shorter than that found on the regular carrera the 997 cabriolet that same rake and of course also the tonno s cover on the back that's not a kit that's factory stuff only on the speedster porsche knew a good thing

have a steel unibody they were creeping in the use of lightweight metals including an aluminum hood which has been sliced a bit here for effect on the movie car so they have added several phone operators here because of the interest in this car never seen so many people working the phone and the internet jackson on one car craig jackson was saying earlier he has been getting just humbled with people who want to know about this car so as you mentioned around the world way back when i was at hot rod magazine i did a how to paint video with eddie paul and he told me he he set a record in the guinness book of world record he actually rode a motorcycle from la to las vegas doing a wheelie look it up eddie paul actually did a wheelie from la2 las vegas on the rear tire only now the crazy down the side of this car it's a man throwing a javelin or a robot but uh in the means on the internet they call it the pull my finger man because he's sticking his finger out like you want to pull of movie memorabilia that you can drive our overall top sales from las vegas was a great mix of new and old custom stock and this is spectacular it's a 1965 it's a 289 cobra this is a real deal csx number 2439 and this one sold for 907 thousand five hundred dollars was bought new in bristol tennessee the second owner's son wrecked it it was rebuilt it was used in the movie cannonball run where a crane fell on it they couldn't decide on the salvage value somebody bought it they restored it now it is fully restored again to as new spec this one has a chassis number which reads there's csx2439 photograph right here where it's stamped into the frame that's correct csx stands not for carroll shelby experimental but the garrosh delby export as in from britain to the united states this is a small block car it's a real one and this is a thinner skin which is forty five thousands thick four twenty seven cars got a fifty thousand something for skin but this is the real thing for over half a million dollars well worth it i gotta remember this is an original cobra two so often we're used to seeing the recreations which are the 429s and so wide this has been slapped sides this is real 825 825 825 825 i got 800 with steve zinder asking 825 real deal folks documented 100 legitimate in the registry chassis numbers verified we're hoping this thing was going to do seven figures it's an incredible car you're not going to get an opportunity like this very often take advantage of it right now 25 50. all right hanging out 8 50 the original sales price on this car six thousand three hundred and sixty dollars five fifty eight hundred and fifty pound dollar now i'm gonna take it out everybody put your hands together perhaps the car's checkered past held this one back a bit it had been wrecked and restored not once but twice but it's been in the same collection for the last more than 20 years and it's got a happy new owner at 825 000 plus 10 buyers premium and i believe that puts it well under the sales range of similar cars from 1965 we're going to move forward to 2019 still with a ford engine though this one's a 2019 ford gt and this one sold more than a million dollars one million twenty three thousand here is a 2019 ford gt outfitted with carbon fiber wheels carbon fiber exterior package limited options and in miles 21 that's all it has for the longest time obviously we did not see these come to auction because ford had a requirement if you were buying one you had to hold on to it for two years a few of them managed to leak out but for the most part oh that was hell that cap now we've reached the point that they can be sold and we're seeing more and more come to off so the two things that raise the number on these are low miles which this has and a high ocean count or heritage addition which this one doesn't necessarily have but it has some very valuable options like those carbon fiber wheels speaking of exotic materials the windshields on these are made of gorilla glass which is the same stuff on your smartphone gorilla glasses chemically strengthened glass dipped in hot potassium salt bath and now they're not indestructible but they're pretty tough the original ford gt purely a race car designed to race at le mans of course we all know the story about how they ultimately won four times in a row then they have the second generation ford gt which really wasn't a race car a few people raced him but not significantly and then we've come out with the third gt which won at le mans these streetcars go down the same assembly line as the race cars and only after the tub is all glued together with its integral roll stay and roll cage does it veer off in one direction to go to the track or one direction to be finished for the street these are incredible to draw i can't describe how much fun these are to drive once again ultimately it's just a race car in street trim you know keep in mind these are installing some time for living in because back in the 60s the original gt40 ford did not even dream of selling those to the public yeah a couple streetcars came out but ford has flipped the script with the modern gt's both generations these are street cars and they're sold for you and me to drive every day any way we want it's an amazing time to be a car enthusiast this sale includes a 32-foot in-tech trailer with the rail rider loading system and that's about a 50 000 value i love how the v6 engine plays peekaboo underneath again the gorilla glass and that's patented by dow corning the makers of that class 935 dollars is the hammer price gonna go from modern to back in the 50s for our number two sale of the auction in this case it's a 1957 mercedes-benz 300 sl roadster sold for more than a million dollars 1 million 45 000 well let's back up to 1957 where the king of the road was the mercedes-benz 300sl originally a coupe and here is the roadster coming out of 20 years in one california collection well of course the gull wing is the quintessential car from the 50s truly one of the most beautiful designs of all time after a couple years it was time to do something different and they decided to make the roadster version of it and you gotta look underneath the hood if cliff can get this going getting it up it's just the beautiful lines the eyebrows over the tires this thing just looks fast even when it's sitting still down there look under that hood that's beautiful this is an inline six with a single overhead cam look at the ram tuned mechanical fuel injection system beautiful top seller of the day now when they cut the top off obviously they use conventional doors obviously they're not going to use any kind of a gull wing they actually added some weight to this but they also added power at the same time so the performance was pretty solid you're right rick these are 276 pounds heavier than the gull wing coupe these cars often sell for seven figures will we get there there were some improvements with the roadster as well a different rear end better handling of course much easier to get in and out of as well without that goldwing door and the huge sill and one of the cool things and you pointed this out yesterday when you were previewing this and if we can get up to the very front and show in the windshield right here you want to talk about an exclusive car and being a member of an exclusive club we have three stickers right here that show grand prix of monaco formula one casino access for 2010 2012 and 2013. yeah that's rarefied air honestly up close there is nothing not to like about this car it is beautiful on every level 950 000 is the hammer price time for the number one overall sale from the barrett-jackson las vegas collector car auction before we get there though don't forget to go to the barrett-jackson logo right down there to click and subscribe to our entire top 10 series and the number one sale very modern a supercar a mclaren p1 sold for 1 and sixty seven thousand five hundred dollars this car used to be owned by dead mouse so if music is more your thing than the movies let's move to lot 748 dj dead mouse's 2015 mclaren p1 well we called this a hyper car yesterday which is kind of the next generation above supercars and it's not just the money it's the technology associated when you talk hypercar you're talking something really special that's what you have underneath this that's correct you have a hybrid drivetrain which in this case the turbo lag from the engine in the back is made up for by electric power it also has a 20 mile range in all electric the top speed over 200 miles an hour but the mpg an average of 34 miles per gallon so it's a very interesting dynamic there back and forth between efficiency and power incredible 3 200 miles on the clock and right now 600 700 thousand dollars bill now millions was 1 million got to a million dollars fast because it can get to speed fast 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds 0 to 180 in 16 and a half seconds and we are kurt million three buddy me and three me and four three four me and four he's got a million 350 you give me a million four i think it'll win one of the leading electronic music by the way the speed is electronically limited in this you can't go above 217 miles an hour thomas zimmerman in 1981 in canada his father was a gm plant worker and like wayne newton well he didn't follow in his father's automotive footsteps and look what approaching a million five this thing had an original msrp of about 1.1 million before options so we've exceeded that certainly living up to the hypercar holy trinity name along with the la ferrari and the 918 spyder porsche you sure you don't want it 450 million holy nightlife batman i mean that thing shot up to a million bucks as quick as the batmobile did several years ago at barrett-jackson that's incredible so that's it for the barrett-jackson top 10 from las vegas the overall sales this was such a great top ten i know you want to watch another one there's one right there just wait it'll pop right up i'm rick debruhl thanks for joining us you
