i was telling myself "don't bother going to Barrett Jackson, they just unveiled these and it's probably not gonna be there", and i wish i didn't listen

Saw them earlier today when I went. Neat cars indeed. There were a ton of mustangs at the event.

The local Shelby crew was there too. Also, there was a yellow RTR Ecoboost as well.

I wonder if you tell them you’re interested, they’ll let you sit in the SC. It was locked up.

Using the Shelby GT500 (sorry Farley) wing on the S650 DH SC required not only a new upright but a new dog bone as well. A good friend that does CF uprights got them to open the trunk to allow a peek...

The original dog bones were developed for the GT350 R wing, then used on the Multimatic GT4 Mustangs, and finally for GT500. The S650 decklid has a different contour such that new support hardware had to be engineered.

B-J in AZ has been on my bucket list for a while, but this year when I finally have the time, poor planning left it too late to get a decent flight (very expensive with only middle seats left) and hotels were rather expensive as well. For you locals and others who have been, is it worth the trip and expense? I'd likely get a bidder's badge - just in case - but it's unlikely that I'd buy anything.

100% YES! If you're someone that is into cars, it's honestly worth the splurge! There is so much to see and do that it can be a little overwhelming at times, but in the best way possible.

There’s a lot to see, dozens of vendors, thousands of vehicles.

I highly recommend downloading the B-J app and creating an account. You can not only see all that’s up for auction and track the results but you can watch it live.

It’s easy for me because I live about 2.5 miles from the venue (Westworld). Also, Goodguys is here a couple times a year.

Damn. The Dark Horse SC wasn't there on Saturday when I went.

I don't know if it's the lighting, but the carbon wheels look a bit too carbony. Something more subtle would look better.

i went there and took some pictures too. more focused on technical details, though
here you can see the fact that it's just a GT500 cat-back with different tips

the front and back cf wheels looked so similar, with the rear ones even having the ceramic coating inside. it seems likely that this is a true, rotatable square setup if you have the same size tire on all wheels

width comparison between the GTD and DH SC, standing at the outer edge of the right headlight for both. despite the width difference, the GTD had much, much less caliper to wheel spoke clearance

this pre-production chassis isn't numbered or anything. odd

caliper to spoke clearance comparison between DH SC and GTD

For those that love the GTD Spirit of America but are a bit budget constrained, MiniGT will offer one in April.

There's also going to be a MiniGT GT3 in a Rolex 24-hr Daytona livery. Some of these are coming out now. I'm waiting to see if the official on-line store opens and what those will price at.

Thanks, roket, for your photos - now that you've seen it in person, what do you think?

Finally, a MiniGT Mustang GT3.

There's also a maisto GTD you can pick up for about $20 at sams club or Costco. The red on it looks insane.
