Chevy hopped on the trend with the first C8 Corvette Z06 to roll off the assembly line, and GMC got its turn with the Hummer EV.

Alongside such legends as the AMC Eagle and Buick Roadmaster, Barrett-Jackson auctioneers rolled the very first S650-generation 2024 Ford Mustang up on stage earlier this month in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The car on the block was a placeholder — the auction winner will get to spec their own perfect build — but that didn’t stop the bidding from reaching 565,000 United States dollars.

See, Ford promised that every penny of this auction’s sale price would go towards the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

While it’s a nice gesture, it also means that this purchase is — to the tune of half a million dollars or so.

Imagine saving money by buying a high-priced sports car, then earning its value all over again when you eventually sell it off.
