Bill and Cathy were guests of Ford Motor Company and the Barrett Jackson organization at the Phoenix Auto Show the day before Thanksgiving 2007.
There were three very impressive arrivals at the Auto show that day. The first was the unveiling of the 2008 GT Ford Shelby Mustang bearing the ever so subtle Barrett Jackson name on the rear of the black with red stripped convertible.
Only 100 Barrett Jackson Mustangs have been allocated to Arizona Ford dealers. Price estimated at $40,000.
