Barrett-Jackson is the world’s largest collector car auction. This auction always brings a wide range of rare / collector cars but we are always most interested in the Mustangs!

The most notable Mustang to cross the block was the first production Bullitt! Continue reading below to see our list of the top 10 (technically it’s 11 because there was a tie) highest hammer priced Mustangs from Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2018.
