SARATOGA SPRINGS — The 8th annual Saratoga Motorcar Auction set a new record last week with the $605,000 sale of a 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition.
The coupe featured a blue-and-orange Gulf Livery paint scheme that paid homage to racing history. It was part of the Ed Mitzen Collection, which also included a 1956 Jaguar XK140 MC, a 1968 Ford Shelby GT500, a 1986 Porsche 911 Turbo, and a 1929 Ford Model AA Popcorn Truck, which came with its own corn popper and nut roaster.
Other unique vehicles at the auction included a 1929 Cuningham Cathedral Hearse, two Russian Kombat armored vehicles, and a 1965 Checker Marathon Taxi.
The auction, which was presented by the Saratoga Automobile Museum, took place on the grounds of the Saratoga Casino Hotel on September 20 and 21.
