It’s a thankless job, but someone’s got to do it: I’m headed down to Palm Beach, FL later this week to give you coverage of the Barrett Jackson auction. I’ll be there on Friday and Saturday, focusing on interesting cars and automobilia, with maybe a backstory or two from this year’s event thrown in. Want to see a particular car up close and personal? Email me at [email protected] and I’ll see what I can do.

Up for grabs, at no reserve, will be this 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350, serial number 350. Carrol Shelby himself will drive the car before the owner takes delivery at Shelby American’s Las Vegas facility.

SPEED TV will broadcast live from the event, so tune in or set your DVR to tape it. Barrett Jackson always puts on a good show, and I’m real curious to see how the economy will impact sales of mid-priced collector cars.
