For the last several years Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) has partnered with Barrett-Jackson (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/barrett-jackson/) to auction off some very special vehicles for charity. Past cars have included the first production examples of the Shelby GT500KR (http:// http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/19/barrett-jackson-2008-first-2008-shelby-gt500-kr-sells-for-605/) and Shelby GT (http:// http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/21/2007-barrett-jackson-scottsdale-first-shelby-gt/) as well as special one-offs like last year's Grabber Blue Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/22/barrett-jackson-2011-grab-your-wallet-for-a-grabber-blue-boss-3/), all of which have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
For 2012 Ford is once again auction off a Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/) for charity, but this year's car is a little different. Up for grabs will be a 2013 Shelby GT500 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/shelby+gt500/) development car used by SVT to hone the production 'Stang. This prototype was run extensively at Sebring and the high speed oval at Ford's Arizona proving grounds and was even driven by Carroll Shelby himself during the development process. The car has some unique features including a full roll cage and Recaro racing seats, but it will likely remain a museum piece as it can't be registered for road use.
