On “Super Saturday,” one if not the marquee day of a Barrett-Jackson auction, the last of two charity cars available in Scottsdale’s first 2024 show have both had the hammer dropped.
Crossing the block first today for those in need, a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon sold for $250,000. All proceeds of this sale will be for Building Homes for Heroes, a charity who builds or renovates homes for injured veterans and first responders.
In collaboration with toy company Mattel, the 4×4 monster runs on a 3.6-liter V6 engine and an automatic transmission.

Then, the first 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse ever made bought a couple hours later at $300,000. This monster was donated by Ford to gain donations for JDRF, a type 1 diabetes organization.
Dawning the VIN 001, this six cylinder behemoth holds 500hp, 418 ft/lbs of torque and a six-speed manual transmission.
Before Saturday, Thursday started the collection of cars sold for good causes.
A shiny, souped up 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 3LZ collected $220,000 that went to The Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation.
Yesterday, a 1968 Shelby GT350 raised $100,000 for student scholarships in the Carroll Shelby Automotive Program at Northeast Texas Community College.
“Super Saturday” is a day full of cars – from classics to modern supercars – that will be sold from $100,000 to astronomical figures in the seven digits.
