2022 Ford Shelby GT500 Heritage Edition Sold For $1 Million To Help Hurricane Ian Victims

The auctioneers at Barrett-Jackson are known for auctioning cars off for charity.

It sold the first-ever Cadillac Escalade Vfor over $500,000to benefit the Pensole Lewis College of Business & Design. It also sold the350美元首次野马猛禽, helping Outward Bound (an international network of outdoor education organizations) and the National Forest Foundation.

This time, aShelby GT500Heritage Edition was sold for a massive $1,000,938. The car was donated by "private individuals" and auctioned off to benefit relief efforts post-Hurricane Ian. We'd say seven figures should go a long way to accomplishing that goal.

How the car got to that seven-figure sum is pretty interesting.

Initially, the car sold for $400K. For reference, Heritage Edition cars have an MSRP of $79,400. Later in the day, donations from the audience brought the "sale" price to $650,000. Here's the best part. The buyer then decided to donate the car again.

This time, the car raised another $300K on top of its starting price (now set to $650K for those keeping track). It's a lot of money to pay for a GT500, but that's the point. It's not so much about the car but supporting the victims of Hurricane Ian.

For once, we're stoked that a car sold at a ridiculously inflated price.
