Ford has announced that the first retail 2015 Ford Mustang will be auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson Auction Company’s event in Scottsdale, Ariz. on Jan. 18, 2014. All proceeds will benefit JDRF, the country’s leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research.
“We’re kicking off the next 50 years of Mustang in style with a 2015 model featuring a sleek all-new design, world-class performance and innovative technologies,” says Steve Ling, North America car marketing manager for Ford. “We’re thrilled to be able to take advantage of Mustang’s popularity to help achieve the dream of ending juvenile diabetes.”

The winning bidder of Lot No. 3010 will be able to choose either a manual or automatic transmission as well as any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered on the new 420-hp Ford Mustang GT. Based on past auctions, we can expect the winning bid for the first retail 2015 Mustang to be in the six figure range, since the final 2014 Shelby GT500 Convertible went for $500,000 last year.
