AUTOS: Barrett-Jackson Hits Its Stride
A custom 1968 Mustang fastback is top non-charity seller so far with about $22 million worth of collector cars sold in the first three days of the Scottsdale auction.
A custom 1968 Mustang fastback with a glove box signed by Carroll Shelby leads the bidding so far for non-charity collector cars at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction, reaching a surprising $242,000 including bidder fee as the six-day auction cranked up Thursday evening.
The 41st annual Scottsdale auction has been ringing up some strong numbers since bidding started Tuesday, reaching about $22 million in total sales with the richest auction days today and Saturday still ahead.
Thursday’s sale saw $10.32 million bid on 254 lots, dominated by the spirited charity sale of Brad Keselowski’s NASCAR Nationwide Dodge Charger that hit $250,000 – with another two donors adding a total of $350,000 more on top of that – to benefit Paralyzed Veterans of America.
Other top non-charity sales so far at the auction, all sold Thursday and including bidder fees, are:
• Rock star Bret Michael’s personal 2004 Bentley Continental GT, $128,700.
• A black-beauty 1967 Corvette roadster, $113,300.
• A hot-looking custom 1969 Camaro, $110,000.
• A 1965 Shelby Cobra CSX6000 continuation from Shelby America, $106,700.
The auction continues through Sunday, with the top offerings coming up during “prime time” today and Saturday, with SPEED broadcasting live coverage from 2 p.m. to midnight ET both days and 2 to 6 p.m. ET on Sunday.
