For the past several years, SPEED has invited classic car fans to participate in the Barrett-Jackson (http://autoblog.com/tag/barrett-jackson) auction with the Hagerty Fantasy Bid contest. Viewers compete to correctly guess the sale prices for select vehicles, and those who accumulate the most points come away with prizes.
SPEED will be holding the contest once again for 2012, and today announced that it will be sweetening the deal for participants - a customized 2011 Shelby GT500 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/shelby+gt500/) with 750 horsepower. The car has been upgraded with a Ford (http://autoblog.com/ford) Racing supercharger system, adjustable suspension system, Wilwood brakes and a few unique visual enhancements.
Lest you think your lack of knowledge of the classic car market leaves you no chance at winning this special Shelby GT500, don't fret. Simply making a fantasy bid during the auction automatically enters you to win the car, regardless of its accuracy. Of course, if your guesses are spot-on then you have a chance to win a variety of prizes, including a 60-inch Samsung television, gift cards, fuel cards and an iPad 2.
The Hagerty Fantasy Bid starts on January 19th, and you can register over at www.speedfantasybid.com (http://www.speedfantasybid.com/) starting on January 13th. Hit the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2012/01/04/speed-tv-giving-away-customized-shelby-gt500-as-part-of-hagerty/#continued) for more details about the contest and the Shelby GT500 giveaway.Continue reading SPEED TV giving away customized Shelby GT500 as part of Hagerty Fantasy Bid at Barrett-Jackson (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/04/speed-tv-giving-away-customized-shelby-gt500-as-part-of-hagerty/)
