If you’ve been to, or even watched it on TV, you know that Barrett Jackson is much more than a car auction, it’s an orgy of all things automotive, which is why we intend to bring you highlights, lowlights, and general news from this year’s show. The event starts tomorrow, but TV coverage begins on Speed on the 17th. So get out your imaginary check books and enjoy watching hundreds of cars roll across the auction block.
Some of the high lights this year include:
1954 Merc 300SL
1939 Packard Convertible
A pair of 2007 GT500s – one coupe, one convertible with the serial number 00005
A 1949 Delahaye 135
1933 Pierce Silver Arrow
1930 Duesenburg Model J
That, of course, is just a small listing of what will sell. You can see the featured cars are much older, and much rarer than the muscle car fest of the previous few years. I can’t help but think this signifies a peak in the muscle car market for now, as it seems the money has moved back to the even rarer collector antique market. Don’t worry though, there will be a whole slew of American Muscle crossing the auction block as well.
