Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction to Offer Matt Furukawa Collection Featuring Six Decades of American Horsepower

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Dec. 26, 2019 – Barrett-Jackson, The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions, will offer the Matt Furukawa Collection, comprising 19 vehicles spanning six decades of American horsepower, during the 2020 Scottsdale Auction, January 11-19, 2020. Featuring nearly every decade since the 1950s, this collection includes diverse examples of U.S.-built collector cars that range in diversity from a 1959 Ford Fairlane Skyliner Retractable Hardtop (Lot #727) to a 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt Edition (Lot #426.1).

Highlighting the Matt Furukawa Collection is a duo of coveted, low-mile 2006 Ford GTs. Each is powered by a 550-horsepower, supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine teamed with a purpose-built 6-speed Ricardo manual transmission. Lot #1353.1 is one of only 343 Heritage Edition Ford GTs produced in 2006 to commemorate Ford Motor Company's 100-year anniversary. Factory dressed in the Heritage Blue and Epic Orange Gulf Oil livery as a nod to the iconic 1968 and '69 Le Mans-winning GT40, this 2006 GT has only 2,384 miles. Lot #1353 is finished in a brilliant Mark IV Red with white racing stripes and has only 29 actual miles.

Crossing the block on Saturday, January 18, is a pair of pristine 1970 Plymouth Superbirds. Due to NASCAR homologation rules to qualify as a 'stock car,' just 1,920 of these flightless birds were built for public purchase. Finished in Limelight Green, Lot #1352 is one of 458 440ci, 4-barrel, 4-speeds built and is still equipped with its original matching-numbers engine. Lot #1352.1 is a ground-up restored Superbird finished in B5 Blue and is powered by a 440ci V8 mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission.

'Matt Furukawa's collection of American horsepower is a full stable of late-model high-performance vehicles, many with exceptionally low miles,' said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. 'It takes a discerning eye to gather such a collection of desirable horsepower in such immaculate condition. I can't wait to see these pristine collectibles cross the block in Scottsdale.'
