Produced by Las Vegas-based Shelby American, Inc., this modified Ford Mustang boasts 456 horsepower — 2½ times more than a standard Toyota Camry.

But what really makes the car special is its serial number, which identifies it as the first of its kind to be produced. Historically, the first vehicle of each model year was built for company founder Carroll Shelby’s personal collection.

Shelby, who became an icon of the automotive world through five decades of racing and auto building, died in May 2012.

All of the auction proceeds for this ride will benefit Grant a Gift Autism Foundation.

All of the auction prices received for the car will benefit Camp Southern Ground in Fayetteville, Ga.
