Barrett-Jackson Columbus to Feature Diamond Blue 2022 Ford GT
Barrett-Jackson is bringing its world-class collector car auction to Columbus, Ohio for the very first time, and one extraordinary consignment is already turning heads. A 2022 Ford GT – the only example ever finished in the bespoke Diamond Blue color – will cross the block at Barrett-Jackson Columbus on June 25-27, 2026, at the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds.
A Color Born from Muscle Car History
The Diamond Blue finish on this Ford GT isn’t just a paint choice – it’s a piece of American automotive history reborn. The color is a direct homage to the rare Pastel Blue that Ford quietly applied to just 18 examples of the 1970 Mustang Boss 429. That understated, soft shade stood apart from the bolder muscle car colors of its era. Decades later, Ford resurrected and renamed the hue as Diamond Blue, making this GT the sole supercar on earth to carry it.
No other 2022 Ford GT – or any Ford GT – was produced in this finish. Among the total second-generation production run of just 1,350 cars, this one truly stands alone.
660 Horsepower and Just 39 Miles
Under that one-of-one paint sits a 660-horsepower, mid-mounted 3.5L twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The second-generation Ford GT rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds and reaches a top speed of 216 mph – numbers that put it firmly in the company of the world’s most elite supercars.
Despite all that capability, this particular GT has barely been driven. The odometer shows just 39 actual miles, making it essentially a brand-new supercar that has spent its life in preservation. For a collector who wants a landmark performance machine in untouched condition, it doesn’t get much closer to factory-fresh.
Loaded With Factory Options
The spec sheet reads like a fantasy out of Gran Turismo. This GT carries $74,600 in factory options, including the Carbon-Fiber Package and 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels. The one-of-one Diamond Blue exterior combined with a high-option build turns an already ultra-exclusive supercar into a truly singular automotive artifact.
The 2022 model year also marks a significant milestone: it was the final production year for the second-generation Ford GT street car. With production ended, every GT has already become a collectible – and this one carries additional weight as both the last of its kind and the only one painted in Diamond Blue.
Selling With No Reserve at Barrett-Jackson Ohio
Perhaps the most compelling detail for serious bidders: this Ford GT will sell with No Reserve at Barrett-Jackson Columbus. That means the gavel falls to the highest bidder, period. No hidden minimums, no passed bids.
Barrett-Jackson’s inaugural Columbus auction is shaping up to be a marquee event for Midwest collector car enthusiasts. The Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds venue is one of the most dynamic event spaces in the region, and Barrett-Jackson Columbus 2026 promises to deliver the same world-class experience the brand is known for from Scottsdale to Las Vegas.
Why This Ford GT Matters to Collectors
Collector car values for second-generation Ford GTs have held strong since production ended. The combination of extreme rarity, a connection to classic Ford muscle car heritage, barely-there mileage, and a highly-optioned build places this Diamond Blue example in a category of its own.
For Ford enthusiasts, GT collectors, and anyone tracking the high-end American supercar market, the Barrett-Jackson Columbus auction in June 2026 is the moment to watch. A car this singular – one owner, 39 miles, one-of-one color, no reserve – may never come up for public sale again.
