Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, has a spectacular lineup of collector cars ready to cross the 2025 Scottsdale Fall Auction block with No Reserve, Oct. 15-18 at WestWorld, presented by Gila River Resorts & Casinos. The expansive docket is filled with some of the most sought-after collectible vehicles, ranging from original muscle cars to world-class Resto-Mods and supercars selling to the highest bidder. Among this year’s headlining vehicles crossing the block with No Reserve is a track-ready 2021 Ford GT Mk II that is one of 45 built worldwide and has 41 actual miles.
Few cars symbolize the bridge between road and racetrack quite like the Ford GT. In celebration of the original world-beating GT40 Mk II of 1966, Ford Motor company presented an ultra-exclusive new variant of the Ford GT at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed as “… the most advanced and exclusive Ford track car ever,” according to the company announcement. As if the original 660-bhp, 216-mph Ford GT road model was not breathtaking enough, the wilder Mk II is an all-out, track-only model. The Mk II mission was simple – to deliver the full performance potential of the Ford GT in a track-only version, engineered and built independently of the usual road regulations and race-series rules and homologation limitations associated with such cars.
The GT’s aggressively styled and already aero-efficient body exudes an aerodynamically pure, teardrop-like shape when viewed from above, with the main bodywork tapering sharply to the rear. Flying buttresses direct cool air to the engine and pontoon-style rear fenders echo those of track-only Le Mans prototypes. While already extremely low in drag and high in downforce, the aerodynamic package was heavily reworked for the Mk II, yielding 400% greater downforce over the roadgoing GT. Among the many aerodynamic upgrades are the fixed dual-element rear wing, front dive planes, extended front splitter and enlarged rear diffuser, an updated undertray and louvered front fenders, all crafted at Multimatic in lightweight yet extremely strong carbon fiber, in keeping with the factory racing cars.
In all, just 45 Mk II chassis were built, with each tailored to the specific requirements of its buyer. All are track-only vehicles and not intended for the road, representing a no-holds-barred, track-day special. The Mk IIs carried a $1.2 million MSRP.
Co-developed by the engineers at Ford Performance and Multimatic, the Mk II version of the potent twin-turbo, 3.5-liter Ford EcoBoost V6 engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, was uprated to 700 horsepower, with more on tap as required. A snorkel-style competition intake force-feeds cooler, denser air to the upgraded GT Mk II powerplant, which also features additional charge coolers with water sprayers for enhanced performance.
Heightened performance is courtesy of the stripped-down carbon-fiber body and FIA-compliant aerodynamic upgrades, with race-derived stopping via Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes all around. The purposeful, competition-style Mk II interior includes a Sparco racing seat, FIA-approved safety harness, a simplified dash and MoTeC data acquisition/digital display, butterfly-style steering wheel, a roll cage, fire suppression system and minimal soundproofing. Race-spec lightweight paint finishes this Mk II, plus striking multi-color graphics, Ford and Ford Performance insignias and “44” racing numbers. At the time of writing, just 41 actual miles have been accumulated from new.
Where the Mk II embraces modern engineering excess, a 2006 Ford GT on the docket serves as a reminder of when supercars were raw, mechanical and thrillingly analog. Created to honor Ford’s legendary GT40 Le Mans victories, the reborn GT was a statement.
Powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged DOHC V8, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, the GT delivers 550 horsepower and 500 ft/lbs of torque. You won’t find any paddle shifters or electronic driving modes in the 2006 GT – just a clutch pedal and the sound of a supercharged V8 breathing inches behind the driver’s head.
The example offered at the Scottsdale Fall Auction is finished in Speed Yellow with black brake calipers and is one of just 31 produced in this specification. Even more enticing, it shows just 1,284 miles. Adding to its appeal, it carries factory options that include the McIntosh sound system, lightweight forged wheels and painted black racing stripes. The car comes complete with its original Window Sticker, Build Sheet and both car covers.
From Ford’s retro-inspired muscle to German precision, the 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo S that will be crossing the block at the Fall Auction is a study in balance. Some cars lean on brute strength, others on elegance. The Turbo S combines both into a package that is as ruthless on the autobahn as it is elegant in the driveway.
Draped in Ice Gray Metallic paint and resting on Turbo S Exclusive Design wheels, this particular example has just 67 actual miles on the odometer. It is virtually showroom-fresh but outfitted far beyond stock. More than $46,000 in factory options were selected with surgical precision, crafting a machine that’s equal parts autobahn blitzer and high-art sculpture.
At the heart of this icy 911 lies a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-6 married to Porsche’s razor-sharp 8-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. The result? A staggering 640 horsepower and a 0-to-60 time of just 2.6 seconds. Launch control isn’t just a party trick here; it’s a small-scale space launch. And the Sport Exhaust System, complete with black tailpipes, sings a war cry that’s a mechanical symphony.
Of course, raw power alone doesn’t make a Turbo S. This car’s true brilliance lies in the fine-tuned harmony between mechanical brawn and technological wizardry. The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Sport Suspension, lowered by 10mm, works in unison with Porsche’s front axle lift system to keep this low-slung missile practical over speed bumps but planted in the corners.
Few partnerships have produced a car as instantly iconic as the union of Mercedes-Benz and McLaren. The 2006 SLR McLaren bridged the gap between grand tourer comfort and Formula One-inspired technology.
Offered with 3,233 miles at the time of writing, this 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is an original U.S.-specification example, built in November 2005 and carrying Production No. 1041 of the 2,157 examples built for 2003-10. Finished in Code 158U Crystal Galaxit Black Metallic paint, this SLR McLaren is handsomely complemented by a very well-appointed and deceptively luxurious interior, featuring Code 511A Black/ Anthracite Exclusive Black leather upholstery and optional Code 95 and Code 97 extra-large power-adjustable, carbon-fiber driver and passenger seats.
In addition to choice amenities that include dual-zone climate control and a Bose Premium sound system with six-disc CD changer, this SLR’s other signature features include a shift-knob-mounted starter button and McLaren-branded instrumentation. Carbon-ceramic brakes with silver Mercedes-Benz-branded calipers reside behind visually striking 19-inch turbine-style wheels, mounting Michelin Pilot Sport high-performance radial tires. Both manufacturer’s literature and a clean CARFAX report are included with the sale of this modern Mercedes-Benz and McLaren collaboration, which helped cement the historic 1995 union of both storied marques.
No auction would be complete without a classic that speaks to the roots of American performance. The 1963 Corvette Split-Window Coupe is one such icon. Recognizable at a glance, the split rear window was offered for just one year, making it among the most collectible Corvettes ever.
The Fall Auction will feature two remarkable examples.
First, a numbers-matching “Fuelie” with a factory-correct L84 327/360hp fuel-injected V8 paired with a 4-speed manual. Restored in 2014 and finished in Daytona Blue over a dark blue interior, it retains its original Rochester fuel-injection system, distributor and alternator. With just 53,253 miles, it has already taken home “Best in Show” honors at multiple Corvette events, a testament to its presentation.
The second is a custom-built Split-Window by Jeff Hayes, completed in 2018. Beneath its silver body lies a modern 500hp LS3 Hot Cam engine paired to an automatic transmission, complemented by Z06 wheels, AutoMeter gauges, power accessories and a custom red interior. It’s a Resto-Mod interpretation that blends classic design with contemporary performance and comfort.
Together, these two Corvettes highlight the dual appeal of collector cars: original preservation and modern reinvention, both selling with No Reserve.
From track-only supercars like the Ford GT Mk II and the pure analog thrill of the 2006 Ford GT to Porsche’s latest engineering masterpiece and the timeless allure of the Corvette, this year’s Scottsdale Fall Auction offers something for every collector’s heart.
