Above and below: 1968 Ford Mustang "Eleanor" 25th Anniversary Edition - Position 5 (lot 1068)
Half of the top ten vehicles were Fords—spanning GTs, Broncos, and Mustangs. The modern Ford GTs, particularly the Heritage Edition, continue to be blue-chip collectibles thanks to their limited production and raw driving appeal.
Above and below: 1976 Ford Bronco - 4th Place (lot 1086) - $440,000
Two custom Broncos (1976 and 1972) cracked the top six, further evidence that high-end restomod SUVs remain auction darlings. Quality builds with Coyote powerplants and modern suspension systems command premium bids when properly presented.
A 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo S sold for $341,000—signaling ongoing demand for modern performance cars with top-tier specs. Similarly, the 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren continues to gain collector recognition as a bridge between analog and digital eras.
Above and below: 1957 Corvette restomod muscled into the top 10 spot (lot 977) for the Barrett-Jackson Fall Scottsdale Auction, which begs the question - Where are the 100-point restored muscle cars?Restomods seem to be ruling the roost at these auto auctions.
The two Corvettes—one a ’63 Split-Window, the other a ’57 Convertible—rounded out the top ten, showing that craftsmanship in the restomod category is crucial in a field increasingly dominated by late-model exotics.
