Two Ford GTs from the Blue Oval's personal collection will hit the auction block this August at separate events.

The first car, to be auctioned off at the 15th annual Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook event in Rochester, Michigan, is clad in vintage Mark IV red and white. It was the sixth GT to roll off the production line, and will cross the block on August 1, 2009.

The second supercar, a blue and white GT, will join a bunch of classics at RM's Sports & Classics of Monterey event in Monterey, California from August 13-15.  

A portion of the proceeds from both soon-to-be iconic racers will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Only 4,027 of these were ever built. I wonder how many still exist.

Have I mentioned how good looking this car is?

I did? Oh well.

It's the perfect storm to be a collectible.

Lots of people dreamed of owning one but few ever bought one.

Rare and sought after is the key to be a future collectible.
