Supercars both old and new dominated the list of Top 10 cars sold at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2026 auction. Let’s take a look at the top 10 most expensive cars that crossed the block during this event.

1. Lot #1377 – 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe – $2,530,000

Mercedes-Benz produced approximately 1,400 examples of the 300 SL Coupe between 1954-57. These cars are widely considered to be the first supercar, in terms of its cutting-edge technology and performance for its time – not to mention those signature gullwing doors. This car was fully restored in 2008 and includes extensive documentation, tools, and factory-correct fitted luggage. To no one’s surprise, this car was the top seller.

2. Lot #1378 – 1961 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster – $1,870,000

Approximately 1,858 300 SL roadsters were produced between 1957-63. This car is finished in an elegant blue metallic paint over a tan interior, and it looks absolutely stunning. This one was restored in Canada and is said to be in excellent mechanical condition.

3. Lot #1365 – 2022 Ford GT – $1,100,000

The second-generation Ford GT has been an extremely desirable car since it debuted in 2017. This one is finished in Ingot Silver exterior with Competition Orange stripes over a Dark Energy interior. With the gloss carbon exterior package and 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, this car is truly a head-turner.

4. Lot #1366 – 2019 McLaren Senna – $1,870,000

The Senna is McLaren’s track-focused supercar. Its 4.0-liter Twin Turbo V8 engine produces a massive 789 horsepower, while the body features numerous aerodynamic tricks to slice through the air. This one is number 422 of 500 units produced, and features more than $379,000 in factory options, further enhancing its exclusivity.

5. Lot #1379 – 1963 Chevrolet Corvette 327/360 Z06 “Big Tank” Split-Window Coupe – $1,100,000

The ultimate collector Corvette might well be this 1963 Z06 Split Window coupe with the “Big Tank” 36.5-gallon fiberglass fuel tank, one of only 63 produced with this option. With a full restoration by the Naber Brothers in 2015, this car has secured numerous awards including an NCRS Top Flight Award and Bloomington Gold Certificate.

6. Lot #1382 – 2022 Ford GT ’64 Heritage Edition – $1,237,500

The 2022 Ford GT is already a special car, but the ’64 Heritage Edition, limited to just 27 units, is even more special. Featuring Wimbledon White paint with blue racing stripes, exterior carbon fiber, and other design elements that honor the GT/105 prototype.

7. Lot #1378.1 – 2021 McLaren Elva – $1,512,500

The McLaren Elva is basically a go-kart for grown ups. Limited to just 149 units, this car is number 49 and wears a beautiful Nerello red metallic exterior color. It is not equipped with the optional windshield, which is staggering considering the car’s 804 horsepower engine and 203 mph top speed.

8. Lot #1381 – 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO – $1,622,500

Low mileage, limited production, and Ferrari are three things that go hand-in-hand. This 2011 599 GTO has just 531 actual miles from new, one of just 599 examples built, and it wears the Scuderia shields on its fenders. This rare V12 Ferrari with the F1 transmission is sure to be the jewel of any collection.

9. Lot #1383 – 2023 Porsche Brabus 900 Rocket R – $1,100,000

German tuning company Brabus is most known for upgrading Mercedes-Benz vehicles. For the first time, this Brabus-upgraded Porsche 911s crossed the block in the six-figure territory. One of just 25 examples one of two cars in the U.S., and the only one finished in Mexico Blue, this 900 horsepower beast is as rare and special as you could hope for.

10. Lot #1426 – 1966 Lincoln Continental Custom Convertible – $1,100,000

This 1966 Continental Convertible has been given a full restomod treatment, including a new Gen II Coyote V8 engine pushing 435 horsepower to the rear wheels. It features a new fuel and exhaust system, upgraded brakes, Ridetech air suspension system, and a full custom interior. All new chrome and polished stainless trim perfectly complement the PPG Light Blue Pearl paint.

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Fall 2025 Auction Results

Let’s take a moment to compare two cities: Las Vegas and Laughlin. Las Vegas is one of the most-visited cities in the country, with more than 40 million visitors annually. As the self-proclaimed Entertainment Capital of the World, it has plenty of live shows, entertainment, music, attractions, and experiences to satisfy every desire. And of course, it is a global hotspot for casino gaming.

Just 90 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip is Laughlin, Nevada. Situated along the Colorado River on the Arizona-Nevada border, Laughlin also has casino gaming. But with 1 million annual visitors, it is a completely different atmosphere. Compared to Las Vegas, Laughlin has less traffic, less competition for hotel rooms, and smaller crowds, while still offering gaming, restaurants, and live music and entertainment.

Both cities exist to serve different needs. In the same way, Barrett-Jackson’s big Scottsdale January auction is like Las Vegas, while the Scottsdale Fall auction is like Laughlin.

The Scottsdale Fall auction still has hundreds of collector cars auctioned at no reserve. It still has vendors and exhibits, great food, and live music. The advantage of the smaller-format auction is this: less crowded, less busy, less hectic than the January auction, but still plenty of fun and excitement.

 

The four-day Scottsdale Fall 2025 auction has concluded as of October 18th. Here are the top-selling collector cars:

1). 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition No. 3 Lot #1026 – $742,500

2). 2006 Ford GT Lot #1056 – $660,000

3). 2021 Ford GT MK II Lot #1051 – $605,000

4). 1976 Ford Bronco Custom SUV Lot #1086 – $440,000

5). 1968 Ford Mustang Licensed Eleanor 25th Anniv. Limited Edition Lot #1068 – $429,000

6). 1972 Ford Bronco Custom SUV Lot #1082 – $379,000

7). 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo S Lot #1045 – $341,000

8). 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Lot #1056.1 – $330,000

9). 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe by Jeff Hayes Customs Lot #1063 – $330,000

10). 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Convertible Lot #977 – $291,500

The excitement continued with two special auctions to benefit charity. Lot #3001 was a 1966 Harley-Davidson FLH custom motorcycle by Paul Cox, which sold for $145,000, all of which went to benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

Lot #3002 was a 1988 Chevrolet Corvette 35th Anniversary Edition, which raised $200,000 for the American Heart Association.

The big Scottsdale auction returns January 17-25, 2026 at Westworld. With even more cars, the Rock the Block kickoff concert and so much more, it is a must-attend event. Get your tickets at Barrett-Jackson.com.
