Barrett-Jackson Auctions staged its most successful inaugural auction last weekend at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut?, generating total sales of more than $26 million, 552 vehicles sold and a sell-through rate of 96 percent.

Topping the sale was a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 that hammered sold for $624,000, with second-place honors taken by a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback at $346,500 and a 1967 Ferrari 330 GT bringing in $330,000 for the third-highest price.

On Friday, the 2016 Shelby GT-H concept/prototype sold for $150,000 to benefit the Carroll Shelby Foundation, after Carrollโ€™s grandson Aaron drove the car onto the block.
