Filed under: Coupes , Auction Action , Supercars , Ford click above to view more high-res images of the #0001 Shelby GT500KR The gavel will fall for a number of #0001 production vehicles this Saturday at the 2008 Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, including the first Corvette ZR1, Dodge Challenger and Ford Shelby GT500KR. Ford has announced a new addition to this particular Shelby GT500KR that's destined for the Barrett-Jackson stage, which we expect will add thousands of dollars to the bidding war that's guaranteed to ensue. The auction model will feature a fully glass roof, just like the new Glass Roof Mustang we showed you at the Detroit Auto Show. The giant, tinted transparent roof will let a little extra light in while keeping the UV rays out. The GT500KR's racing stripes have also been permanently etched into the glass roof so as not to break up the pair of lines that stretch from bumper to bumper.

Filed under: Aftermarket , Concept Cars , Tuners , Auction Action Click on the image to view in our high-resolution image gallery Monied fans of Monster Garage gathered this week in Scottsdale, Arizona for the opportunity to own a piece of their favorite television show when the Barrett-Jackson auction house put 42 of the hot rod program's creations under the hammer. Among the vehicles put up for auction were a Ferrari fitted with a pasta-maker , a flying Panoz Esperante , a Mustang lawn mower , a Porsche modified to collect golf balls , and an assortment of dragsters and custom lowriders. All in all, 42 custom street rods went on the block.

Filed under: Auction Action , Etc. Well, it's official. If it has wheels, Greg Jackson and Steve Davis will let you sell it at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The item in question is none other than Robosaurus , the forty-foot tall transforming robot dinosaur that breathes fire and enjoys snacking on Grand Ams. We don't doubt that it'll attract a flurry of attention during primetime, and that some deep-pocketed bidder will throw money at it. What would make it the best Barrett-Jackson auction ever is if Robosaurus went crazy and started eating some of the big-dollar garage queens on live television. Video of Robosaurus doing his thing after the jump. Thanks for the tip, Myk!

Filed under: Concept Cars , SEMA , Auction Action , Chrysler click above image for more pics of the Concept 'Cuda It appears that whoever took the trouble to have Metalcrafters build the one-off Concept 'Cuda got tired of it pretty quickly. Just a month after the 'Cuda made its first appearance at the SEMA show, Barrett-Jackson has announced that the car will be offered to the highest bidder come January. The winner will essentially be getting a modified Dodge Charger chassis with custom 2-door carbon fiber bodywork covered in Lamborghini Pearl Orange paint, a functional shaker hood feeding air to a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 and 22-inch Zenetti wheels wrapped with Pirelli P Zero tires. Before potential buyers plunk down hundreds of thousands of dollars for the car, they might want to see if Metalcrafters would build a second, and if so, how much it would cost.
