Hammer Down - $42,000.00
On Sunday, January 24, the Scott Drake "Pay it Forward" Mustang crossed the auction block at the world's largest collector car auction in Scottsdale, AZ. The television announcer on stage said that calling it was a "nice car" is an understatement. He also said that it was the nicest Mustang in the auction. Below is some of the action that took place on Saturday and Sunday.

The bidding started quickly and then stalled. They gave some additional information about the car being at the SEMA show and the bidding started again.
