In 2013, I was assigned to cover the Woodward Dream Cruise from Mustang Alley in Ferndale, Mich., where I observed a custom orange-metallic T-top 1988 Mustang GT. According to Bill McClelland, the vehicle's owner, he personally completed all of its modifications, aside from the bodywork and paint. A few days later, I invited Bill to have his 1988 Mustang GT photographed at a private airport near Flint for possible magazine publication. We met for the photo shoot on Oct. 12, 2013, and the article later appeared in Mustang Monthly. Afterward, Bill thanked me and mentioned he was looking for another Mustang GT for his son, Blake. In 2015, Bill contacted me to share his enthusiasm about finding a 1988 Mustang GT convertible locally listed on Craigslist. The vehicle had previously spent much of its life in the southern United States before relocating to Michigan. The 50,000 miles on the odometer indicated it had only been modestly driven — but not babied — during the first 30 years of its life. |

| Walworth, Wis. – Maintained, repaired and refinished, but never restored, Bianco Speciale, the only Ferrari 250 GTO to leave the Ferrari factory in white, is set to headline the Mecum Auctions lineup at The World's Largest Collector Car Auction®, January 6-18 in Kissimmee, Florida. Among only 36 produced from 1962 to 1964, the Bianco Speciale stands alone as the sole 250 GTO delivered with white livery applied by the Ferrari factory. This distinguishes it as one of the most desirable Ferraris in existence and earned Chassis No. 3729GT its distinctive moniker, which serves as a singular expression of individuality within the most exclusive fraternity in automotive history. With its successful racing career and distinctive white livery, Bianco Speciale's offering at Kissimmee 2026 presents an extraordinary opportunity to join its illustrious legacy. |
