Barrett-Jackson is heading to the Buckeye State this summer to host its inaugural Columbus Auction, June 25–27, 2026, at the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds. The first auction hosted by Barrett-Jackson in the Midwest, the three-day automotive lifestyle event will bring consignors, bidders and collector car enthusiasts from around the world for the chance to be a part of automotive history, auction officials said in a press release.

The docket will include vehicles ranging from restored classics and professionally built customs to supercars, including a one-of-one 2022 Ford GT finished in Diamond Blue. Also crossing the block is a custom 2022 Ford Bronco built by RealTruck in collaboration with the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow that will be sold with 100% of the hammer price benefiting the Joe Burrow Foundation.

“We’re excited to host our collector car family in America’s heartland during our inaugural Columbus Auction,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “This region has an incredibly passionate automotive community, and we look forward to showcasing an unforgettable lineup of collector cars and creating a signature event for enthusiasts.

“Columbus represents the best of the Midwest, with upscale hotels, restaurants and entertainment, and being central to nearly half of the nation’s population. The newly renovated Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds will be the perfect location to continue building on this year’s auction momentum with hundreds of collectible vehicles crossing the block, including an incredible one-of-one 2022 Ford GT.”

One-of-One 2022 Ford GT in Diamond Blue

The one-of-one, one-owner 2022 Ford GT is the only example produced in Diamond Blue from the factory Extended Color Palette option, the same color (with a new name) used on only 18 examples of the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429. It is powered by a 660-hp mid-mounted twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It has 39 actual miles and includes the original window sticker, factory build photos, factory marketing materials, an indoor car cover and a Hero replica car cover.

The Joe Burrow 2022 Ford Bronco Built in Collaboration With RealTruck

The 2022 Ford Bronco being auctioned to benefit the Joe Burrow Foundation was built by RealTruck in collaboration with Joe Burrow, the Joe Burrow Foundation and Pro Motorsports. The Bronco is powered by a 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost engine mated to an automatic transmission. The four-door Bronco features numerous unique custom accents, including RealTruck AMP Vision steps, Superlift suspension, a Havoc Steel Bender bumper and a RealTruck winch.

“Bidders are eager to be a part of this year’s event, and our docket will reflect our dedication to offer something for every type of collector,” said Jackson. “We’re especially excited to team up with NFL star quarterback Joe Burrow to offer a custom 2022 Ford Bronco with 100% benefitting the Joe Burrow Foundation. We’re proud to support the foundation’s mission to help the underserved and underprivileged by focusing on hunger relief and youth mental health.”
