the inaugural barrett-jackson auction in  houston texas took the collector car world by storm hi everybody i'm rick dubrow welcome to  the barrett-jackson top 10 series and today we're going to be talking about the top 10 sales overall  from our inaugural event in houston texas you know we had killer original cars we had great resto  mods spectacular customs they were all crossing the block including some very special star cars so  you're going to want to watch and we're going to start with numb

er 10 of course a 1956 ford f-100  it's a big window custom pickup truck let's see what it sells for 1956 ford f10 f100 big window  custom pro touring build folks this is one of the most gorgeous pickups we've had in the sale  absolutely flawless gen 2 coyote under the hood we've looked at this thing it's been massaged  it's been dialed in and here's an opportunity to buy a piece of art absolutely gorgeous truck  at barrett-jackson in houston at no reserve shane well here's the mighty coyote whi

ch is something  that's kind of a new thing to the world of ford swappers i'm loving this it used to be  put a 302 or something like that in here but that's the coyote twin cam four valves let's  have a look at the chassis cam underneath this beautiful restomod now this has been stretched  four inches from stock it rides on a roadshow chassis there's the underside of that  camera headers automatic transmission open drive again that's the custom art  morrison chassis or sorry a roadster shop and

it has a nine inch rear axle  with coil overs man is that beautiful this is a metal brothers build the front fender  stretched two and a half inches the rear fenders have been pulled three and a half inches all of  the trim is done in that beautiful satin platinum this is the most beautiful truck i have ever  seen across the block at barrett-jackson this is absolutely incredible i'd be afraid  to drive it i just want to put it in my living room and sit there and look at it it's only  been driven

150 miles since it was built so i think whoever's had it kind of feels the same  way as you on the tailgate you see these machined aluminum ford logo this looks like something  would come out of ford's styling i mean just really above and beyond the call of duty another  thing too about this is that this has a stretched nose in 1953 ford shortened the front of their  pickup trucks for better maneuverability around the farm yard or wherever but it made them look  kind of stubby well this has bee

n unstubbified if you've seen it from the side it looks kind of  long and graceful that's custom very subtle work that you don't find on any other ford pickup  but here the wood in the bed is a very subtle two-tone i didn't notice that before and it's  been polished as much as the bodywork on this one we'll move some of the papers here so victor can  get a great shot inside this is just incredible and that cab by the way has been chopped  by about an inch and a half so it's hard to find one not

hard to find impossible to find  the seams to show all the work that was done a very euro style interior with the tweed  style carpet belting wow well it won truck of the year at the f-100 grand nationals in 2020  and it just crossed the block and sold for 250 thousand dollars we've got a tie at number  nine for the top 10 sales overall at the barrett-jackson auction in houston texas we'll  start with a 1967 ford mustang this was an eleanor tribute a fully licensed eleanor tribute and it  was ti

ed with a 1962 corvette topless roadster now this is a car that i previewed yesterday and  i'm a big nicholas cage fan so i'm back looking at it again before it goes up the block i'll channel  my inner nicholas cage eyes here lot 443 hey 1967 shelby gt500 or eleanor in the movie and you can  see they started with an all-new ford body here so nothing really old mustang about this thing  uh under the hood a big block ford supercharger of course it has the correct eleanor body kit  and on the insid

e you have a beautiful interior with nitrous and of course the famous go baby go  button this is an immaculate build and i imagine all of us seeing the movie 20 years ago came out  of the theater wanting to buy this car and well here's your chance to buy one of the nicest ones  i have ever seen well there have been not one but two gone in 60 seconds movies the original by a  stuntman toby hallicky who was the producer and director and star of the original movie and  of course eleanor was the mos

t beloved star car and then of course the follow-on with nicholas  cage but eleanor became so famous from the movie that people started doing re-pop eleanors and then  denise halecki began taking legal action against them so there became a program to do officially  licensed eleanor cars and this is one of those speaking of reproductions and officially  licensed things this is a reproduction body shell a variety of companies offer them of course  ford must give them their blessing so there's no r

ust hiding in this one this is a brand new  body shell i'll tell you what we have shot past everything else to be the number one seller of  the day we're at 180 185 000 and still going the cost of one of those body shells is about  17 500 and to be honest it's a small price to pay versus trying to scrub all the rust out of an  old body shell from any of the rust belt states you might get lucky and find a  western shell but for the most part 17 grand is a bargain buy that  and forget about rusty

old stuff so part of the money here is in the build and  the rest is in the provenance you saw that carol shelby had signed the slam panel under the hood  and he assigned the dash and we're at 200 000 we're at 200 and still going 215. i love the way the crowd has gathered at the exit ramp they want to see the car  that's getting everybody's attention and the bitter assistance the  ring men and women are virtually running back and forth between their bidder and  the block to make sure their bid g

ets recorded this is crazy go nuts time at barrett-jackson  280 000 for a replica an authorized replica of a famous movie car but remember what we've  seen in the corvette world the resto mods everything being done so nicely we're closing  in getting really close to 300 000 we got it 300 000 for a 1967 ford mustang eleanor  tribute and this is a corvette we have all watched out in the staging area you've seen  it for the last couple days this is a piece truly a piece of art a 1962 corvette custo

m let's  call this not a convertible but a topless roadster the thing i like about it emerges a lot of  corvette parts from different corvette families has c4 corvette aluminum suspension front and  rear and the massive disc brakes under the hood is an ls7 which is the 427 which debuted in  the z06 in 2006. the beauty of that engine titanium connecting rods yep in a production  engine 7000 rpm yep no problem great little engine a beautiful champagne metallic with just a very  hint of green to it

custom tail lights as well and these rear fenders have been pulled to accommodate  wide wheels and tires the difference between a roadster and a convertible is simple a convertible  you can raise the top a roadster has none i like the exhaust outlet in the center below the  license plate sort of a triangular billet shape really well made hides in plain sight that's not  stock but it looks like it could very well be now one thing that was standard  on corvettes of this era the grab handle and ye

s that was for passenger use  when the driver would lean over and go you better hold on there you could this one is an automatic  thus we can see the straight gate in the shifter it's got a 4l65p which is a four-speed automatic  it's all good no clutch pedal required here although the shift ball is very retro that  chrome ball very typical of what this car would have had from the factory  with a four speed underneath it this car has already gone to a number of  shows it's already won a number of

awards and it's bringing solid money  here at barrett-jackson i think that was a knockout punch bid that just came in it had been moving at five and ten and that  gentleman right there would just say 300 and call it quit so we can move on and that's exactly  what happened time for the number eight overall sale in this case we have another eleanor another  fully licensed tribute this one though has a very modern coyote engine under the hood so let's see  how it rocked the block so watch what hap

pens here with this eleanor yesterday we had one sell for  what 300 000 it was by a wide margin the high sale of the day and it is headed for a collection  here in texas in austin and a friend of mine spoke to the buyer of that car yesterday and he said i  might just come back today and buy the other one well like under the hood we have the coyote  engine and this is basically bone stock with the plastic shroud and the ram tube cover and  that's okay these are very attractive engines and of cour

se right here we see the official  eleanor attribute edition licensing tag here very important if you want to have  one of these and make everybody happy gone in 60 seconds performance yeah  pretty pretty piece i like this backed up by a six-speed automatic transmission  no need to drive a stick if you can enjoy this one so here's a whole lot a victor of movie  memorabilia to go along with the car photos of the movie stars and the second gone with 60  seconds certificate of authenticity movie po

ster lots here and this all goes with the car this car was originally built as a  six-cylinder t-code 200 cubic inch mustang fastback but that was then this  is now leaf spring rear suspension long gone replaced by coil over shock absorbers and a  four link system don't you wish cars had emotions i swear some of mine did it's like i'm not gonna  start for you today no way but if this one be born as a little six cylinder secretary mustang if it  only knew what it was going to become years later m

ercury cougar inspired full width tail lights  of course the mustang would have had three little slits on each side but uh again shelby mustangs  adopted this look in 1967. looks great complements the width and the low lines of the fastback  body yesterday the eleanor sold for 300 000. and that's where we are today will it go  over let's find out 300. the better on stage represents several major collections he  is on the phone uh with the buyer he represents the side we see the go baby go the re

d button  there of it is the infamous button that nicholas gage's character would push to engage the  nitrous oxide another 200 or so horsepower 15. bidder was sitting there going  come on finish it off hammer a itself the call came through and said yes  hit it one more time and that bitter out there in the seats out in the front rows  just can't believe it because here we go 325 000 makes that the number one selling eleanor  for number seven we're going to move from the ford world to the chevro

let world a 1963 corvette split  window custom this one a fresh build by jeff hayes 540 horsepower let's check it out lot number  733 is a 1963 chevrolet corvette splint window custom coupe this 1963 split window resto mod  was completed in march of 2021 features a brand new ls3 hot cam engine with 540 horsepower  backed by a 4l70e automatic transmission this beautiful 1963 split window resto mod was  completed in march 2021 by jeff hayes custom started with a clean original gm donor car now it 

has that lot that hot ls3 hot cam 540 horsepower engine jeff hayes customs put the ls3 in this one  with an overdrive automatic 540 horsepower an art morrison sport chassis willwood breaks only the  body shape seems to be 63 here i like that rear wheel openings have been stretched to accommodate  those massive wheels and thin redline side walls well we had internet bidders we had phone bidders  we had bidders in the sky box and the final price 360 thousand dollars before we get to the  number s

ix overall sale from the barrett-jackson collector car auction in houston texas the  inaugural event you're going to want to make sure that you click right down there to subscribe  to the entire series of barrett jackson videos especially our top 10 list all right what was  number six well turned out to be a very expensive 2005 ford gt torch red now this one's a lot more  stock looking obviously and they actually unveiled the gt on the 100th anniversary of ford in 2003.  they came out in 2005 an

d they were actually kind of slow to sell they plan to make 4 500 of them  i think they only sold a little over 4 000 so imagine struggling to get that 150 000 msrp if  you bought one back then you were pretty smart if you still have it today now there were  only four options available on these cars the painted stripes was won the bbs wheels  was two the painted brake calipers was three and the macintosh stereo system was four  that was it well to your point mike the lightweight wheels were thre

e thousand  five hundred dollars replacing the six spoke wheels seen on most of these and yeah those  painted calibers seven hundred and fifty dollars you know what's interesting these cars while  they look like the original gt40 it's actually just slightly larger in every dimension but  there's one unique thing that the gt40s had when they were racing people don't realize  it they actually had luggage compartments the race car that raced in the late 60s had to have a  luggage compartment anothe

r comparison speaking of those painted calipers we see back here the big  caliper the primary one what's this little tiny guy back here doing what is that well that's the  parking brake caliper unlike corvette which had an internal brake drum on their 63 through 70 or 82.  this has a secondary caliper for the parking brake now you know one owner 6300 miles all four  available options these cars are great drivers the clutch is light so it's easy to get going  once you get past the idea of the thi

ck windshield pillars they're very easy to drive as for  backing up don't bother you can't see so pretty formula one drivers can get used to the halo i  think you can get to the big a pillars 375 000 for ford gt oh so you like four gts well i've got  good news for you we've got two more they were tied at number five on the overall top ten list  two of them from a pair of four gts one yellow one black let's see what they sell for up on the  block right now a 2006 ford gt one of three four gts fro

m this generation that we're going to see  crossing the block well that ferrari was modified and there was no going back but with this one they  did it just right especially with a low mileage rare color 2006 gt like this the yellow is satin  but it is the factory color they covered it with a wrap a transparent wrap to give it the satin look  this was actually a striped elite car most of them had the stripes they also changed the wheels  and the exhaust but it includes the original exhaust so if

you wanted to go back to the  stock car you could but now it's very well protected the original paint well i am amazed  that we're at 300 000 because i took one look at the flat finish on this one and said well  no thanks i'll take one of the ones coming up but the bidders love it look at this 325. that  makes it the number one sale not only of the day but of the auction so far not counting the two  charity sales that's two hundred thousand dollars more than the 139 thousand dollars of this  pr

ice new the thing i love about these cars is holy cow the bid just left it was less than 350  000 somebody threw up their hand and said 400 000 and this car has been enjoyed 8 000  miles on the clock it's not been a garage just queen it 400 000 for a custom  2006 ford gt speed yellow very unique 2006 ford gt this one owner mark two  black four gt with a black interior is in excellent condition assembled at  the wixom assembly plant on february 21st 2006 this vehicle is number 688 of only 2011  b

uilt in 2006 and is a number 92 of 292. power comes from the 5.4 liter supercharged v8 engine  manual 6-speed transmission 5 000 original miles 375 400 and 400 and 400 and 400 pounds tonight sold 400 dollars at number four on our overall  top ten a 1966 shelby gt350 now those are special on their own but this one oh this one has an  amazing story behind it this one was owned by sir sterling moss the great race car driver one of  his favorite cars to do historic racing in and boy when it crossed

the block it got everybody's  attention lot number 741 this is a 1966 shelby gt350 owned by sir sterling moss moss  stated on more than one occasion that this r specification gt350 was one of his favorite  historic race cars power comes from a 289 these were k codes when they started life four  speed the car was raced by sir sterling moss nine different locations across europe from 1991  to 1997 including a win at the targa tasmania during the concours in houston texas ironically  in 2007 carol

shelby drove this car across stage announcing it would for hereafter be known as  the moss car lot number 741 well this is the sterling moss shelby this began as a regular gt350  noted restorer and shelby expert chris liebenberg who now runs three dog garage in pennsylvania for  vintage racer and collector ross myers converted this to r code spec peter lovanos the owner of  aston martin bought it vintage raced it and sold it to sir sterling moss and over a period of nine  years he raced it at vi

ntage events in europe and won the target tasmania carol shelby drove it up  onto an auction block and said this is the moss gt 350 and always will be he is sir sterling has  signed it in the trunk and boy what a great piece of shelby history and of auto racing history in  general there were 36 actual r-types built and one of the key noters is right here on the front  this front valance with an air no front bulker but that's our type stuff added to this street model  again not one of the 36 but

mechanically the same well sometimes you value race cars by adding the  combination of the car itself together with the driver and the performance we got a great car a  shelby gt350 an amazing driver sir sterling moss and the car he won in vintage racing with yes  right to be perfectly clear moss never raced this car in period in period it was not a  race car but it was converted to vintage racing spec and sir sterling had a lot of  fun and a bunch of trophies in this one on the rear valance we

do not see  the reverse marker lights which would come along for 1966 on shelby gt350  so that's a marker that it is a carryover he has 400 425 a hood pin secures the  trunk lid underneath which you shall see the signature ps4 online of the best british  driver never to win the formula one world championship he certainly won everything else  there was to win the external battery kill switch on top of the rear quarter panel again trunk  runner battery part of the picture for the r-type aluminum m

ag racing wheels here these are not  the magnesium ones you would have found back in the day these are actually aluminum modern ones  the uh crow's foot here four quest d correct visually but not a magnesium as it would have  been back in 65. plastic rear window on the gt350s that would vent air from the cockpit this is  plastic and the spare tire mount and roll cage all very correct got a phone bidder we've  got an internet bidder worth 220 000 the current bid on the sterling moss gt350 it is 

interesting to see that sterling moss campaigned this car in the 1990s with the stock mustang  brakes the kelsey hayes discs up front and drums in the back i'm guessing perhaps the scca did  not allow modern brake upgrades that boston and nostalgia scc trans am don't know but the drums  are here on the back of this one in the center of the rear wheel you see the summers brothers stand  these are aftermarket we have a new top seller of the day here at barrett-jackson this 1966  shelby gt350 just

sold for 450 thousand dollars time for the top three overall sales from the  inaugural barrett-jackson collector car auction in houston and you know when people first bought  the latest generation of the ford gt they had to sign a document that said they wouldn't sell  it for two years well for some of those owners the two years is up and we're seeing them start  to cross the auction block and they're bringing really big money when that happens so let's check  out this 2019 ford gt and see what

it hammer sold for this is a 2019 ford gt up on the block the  new ford gt in its third year of production these are all built on a line in canada multimatic  we're at half a million dollars already this car gets its roll cage and its bonded body on  the assembly line before it even knows if it's going to be a race car or a road car three  quarters of a million boy this accelerates fast these are powered by a v6 engine although four  did consider v8s and even v12s in the recipe but the reality i

s the six cylinder is shorter  which allowed better work here in the tail with the hallways going through a longer v8 or 12  would not have allowed that very special touch ivory interior here to somewhat match up with  the white stripes on it liquid blue is the color the doors come up somewhat butterfly style and  you see all of that carbon fiber that makes up the monocoque or tub the great thing about it is  what they've done with the door sill when you go back out they don't have a big piece t

he door  itself comes up you've got easy access into as opposed to having to step completely across the  full width of the car carbon fiber wheels are an option they save about one and a half pounds  per corner compared to the bbs forged wheels that are standard pretty well optioned car  does not have the acropovich titanium exhaust but boy that liquid blue is sharp and  we're closing in on a million dollars and the car has less than 20 miles on the odometer  something else that adds value to th

is ford gt remember it wasn't that long ago we couldn't  see him cross the block because of the deal that had to be made between buyers and ford  correct ford puts a lien on every new gt for two years the owner must maintain and hold the  car for two years before offering it to sale that to prevent people just buying them and flipping  them also the dealers were involved in the buying process but not in the price negotiation  every one of these was sold at sticker price 910 000 for a 2019 ford g

t with less than 20 miles  on the odometer so what did it take to be the number two overall sale at the barrett-jackson  auction in houston well how about almost 650 horsepower how about zero to 60 in less than three  seconds and a top speed of 216 miles an hour the car that did it wasn't just another ford gt it was  a 2019 4gt lightweight and boy when it crossed the block it sold at an amazing price this is a 2019  ford gt but this one is special because this one is a lightweight yeah during th

e production run  of the ford gt ford has had they've had heritage additions and they've had little specials like  this one the lightweight which you can instantly tell because the twin stripes are done in exposed  carbon fiber that's one of the hallmarks of the lightweight edition of course carbon fiber wheels  exposed carbon fiber all around the body work this one's going to rock the block hold on to your  wallet yeah the lightweight edition included things that were very hidden including tita

nium  exhaust headers versus stainless on the standard ones all that was to reduce some pounds in fact  these even have a titanium steering wheel tube seventy thousand dollars is what  you paid for all that lightness add to that titanium lug nuts yes he is a  purpose-built trailer designed specifically for the ford gt absolutely flawless craig halls  is around picks mine up once in a while absolutely beautiful trailers this car is unobtainable except  right now at barrett-jackson lightweight wit

h that polished carbon spectacular car can't say  anything else about it it is a buy right now 50-75 the titanium exhaust for these cars and to machine titanium into this gentle curve here  for this exhaust pipe that is not easy yeah it's true i used to machine titanium rocker  arms for hemis at stage five and it's weird stuff gets kind of gummy not like stainless or any  other type of a metal it's weird stuff but it's very very uh light and strong it was dan  gurney who brought titanium from th

e aerospace industry to auto racing and when people  asked what's that he would reply unobtainium just another one of dan gurney's  innovations we're up to 970 thousand dollars the question is can it make a million titanium fasteners entered the world of drag  racing courtesy of a company called trick titanium in michigan right around 1970 the  motown missile was loaded with parts from them when the production run ends this  is going to be one of the rarest variants of the newport gt i'd  say th

is is a bargain right here well it stalled at about 970 and then  it just suddenly rocketed past a million and it sells for 1.1 million  that 2019 ford gt lightweight wow all right time to show you the number one overall  sale from the barrett-jackson collector car auction in houston and i have to tell you this  one surprised everybody it was a 1979 porsche 928 now that's a great car but this one oh it was so  special this one is the one that was used in the movie risky business driven by tom cr

uise and as  the story goes this is the one he actually learned to drive a stick shift in and boy i tell you when  it crossed the block and sold for a record amount well it got everybody's attention well  we've talked a lot about this next car it's a 1979 porsche 928 but this one's  special this is the one from the movie risky business we are told there were  three porsche 928s used in the filming of the movie and that this was the hero car  the primary camera car used for close-ups of tom cruis

e and his co-stars in the movie the  producer says he's taught crews to drive a stick using this exact car and the passenger sun  visor is signed by members of the movie cast now importantly this was not the 928 used in  the which one of you is the u-boat commander scene of pulling the 928 from the lake  and off to the dealership yeah that car was just a shell with no engine this is the real  thing interestingly they approached porsche and said would you be willing to supply us cars  and porsche

looked at the script and said it involves prostitutes no thanks we're  over three hundred thousand dollars now 75 and 375. 375. 365. 375 and 375.85 well look at that we're working three separate  phone bidders up there together with whoever else might be in the room people are interested in  this car we're over 400 thousand dollars right now i'm going to ask victor if he can whoa we're  up to half a million dollars in a hurry uh victor i'm not sure if you can see  the sun visor if i hold it dow

n here and get a look at the signatures that are on there  from some of the cast of the movie risky business thanks this is not stopping we are  at 650 000 and still moving wonder if you get the consigner's  pair of ray-bans with the car there are four separate phone bidders  involved in this transaction right now three i have been a part of many special moments at  barrett-jackson but this is taking the cake 650. well i don't know who's on the other end of the phone with that lady at the  end b

ut they are in it to win it if joel's mother had sold the car for this she  wouldn't have had to worry about her faberge egg well as tom cruise says in the movie porsche there is no substitute there was  absolutely no substitute for that ladies and gentlemen wow i'm gonna have to  take a break just so i can take a breath after that rolls off the block that will do it  for the overall top ten from the barrett-jackson collector car auction the inaugural event in  houston texas if you want more bar
