Barrett Jackson starts today

[Nassau65]

The auto circus that’s called Barrett Jackson starts today in Scottsdale AZ.
9 days of auto glitz.

The gates are now open.

Here’s another mid year to drool over

And for those with deep pockets

Another lovely mid year convertible offered at Barrett Jackson

Looking through the BJ sales docket, I came across this rare car
1975 Chevrolet Vega Cosworth. It will go across the block tomorrow.

Rare - but desireable? - perhaps in the 'States.......perhaps the fastest thing from GM in '74 - but kinda think potential buyers would not be quite so happy with one here in UK?

 

[Nassau65]

Totally agree. Rare does NOT mean desirable.

At least it has a bumper that can actually bump things.

Most cars of that era had “proper bumpers “ that took a knock. 1974-77 Chevrolet Camaro’s had lovely stainless bumpers, whereas the same year firebirds were body moulded with a insert and didn’t take a knock so well. But did look more modern than the old style

Barrett Jackson Arizona all over.

The most expensive corvette sold was this bugger.
1967 convertible custom $770k

Looks too nice to drive, that interior is too nice to even sit in.

Park it in your front room and just look at it.

Barrett Jackson certainly seems to have cornered the auction glamour business.

This dealership Ferrari sign made a staggering $95k
