Most Expensive Ford Cars Ever Sold at Auctions

Do you know which are the most expensive Ford cars ever sold at auction? Check out these Ford car models below!

Henry Ford formed the Ford Motor Company in 1903, and the brand is still going strong today.

The adoption of the assembly line in 1908 helped revolutionize the automotive industry and introduced the first line of affordable American cars.

But as the years went by, that scenario changed.

These cars became rare and that made them expensive, so that nowadays you can only find them at auctions.

Therefore, we have separated a list of the most expensive Ford cars sold at auction for you.

In 1st place we have the legendary 1969 Shelby GT500 Convertible.

Owning a car crafted by the legendary Carroll Shelby is one of the top ten achievements of any collector.

One lucky man paid R$3,972,523.50 at the 2008 Barret Jackson Auction in Scottdale to claim ownership of this Shelby driven Shelby GT500.

If you're thinking this is the car Ford most expensive ever sold at American auctions, sit down there, because it is not.

The 1966 Ford GT40 Mk II was sold in 2018 at RM Sotheby's auction in Monterey, for an amount of $9.75 million.

In 3rd place, or rather, in first place, as the 1968 Ford GT40 Gulf/Mirage light racing car is the most expensive on this list.

As such, selling for approximately 1TP3Q11 million at RM auctions in 2012, the Ford GT40 became the most expensive American car ever sold at auction.

But, you need to know that this car was only sold for that amount because of its history.

If you look closely, you'll remember him from the 1971 film Le Mans, which explored the high-intensity racing of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
