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.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!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.
