More than 1,200 vehicles will be sold at no reserve during the 40th annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, comprising an eclectic group of hot rods, resto-mods, classics, new collectibles, muscle cars, exotics, sports cars and more.
Notable car collectors and celebrities are among the consignors offering vehicles during the Barrett-Jackson auction at WestWorld from Jan. 17 through Jan. 23. SPEED will capture the excitement with an unprecedented 40 hours of live coverage to mark the 40th anniversary.
“In celebration of this milestone in the company’s history, we’re presenting one of the broadest selections of collector vehicles ever offered for sale at one auction,” said Craig Jackson, chairman/CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “From celebrity collections to cars from some of the most respected automotive enthusiasts in the country, bidders will be impressed with the diversity of vehicles available for purchase at Barrett-Jackson.”
Barrett-Jackson has always attracted some of the most popular names in film and music, but this year, an unprecedented number of celebrities will be auctioning their rides (and former rides) in Scottsdale.
Starting with one of the most recognized actors and screenwriters in Hollywood, Sylvester Stallone will sell five special vehicles from his personal collection at Barrett-Jackson. Two of the vehicles offered, a 1955 Ford F-100 (Lot #1014) and a 2009 Special Construction Custom Chopper (Lot #1014.1), are from Stallone’s latest film, “The Expendables.”
The sleek black 1955 F-100 custom pickup was featured not only in the movie but appeared in the TV show “Street Customs.” The truck includes a new Ford 347cid Edelbrock engine, and a B&M equipped AOD transmission with Gibson exhaust. The Heidts Mustang II front suspension is teamed with a Heidts four-link kit and a Ford 9-inch axle in the rear.
The custom chopper comes equipped with a 124 cid engine, Baker transmission, DNA chassis and Springer front end. The entire bike is encased by black paint. Other vehicles from Stallone’s collection include a 1932 Ford Hi-Boy custom convertible (Lot #1014.2), a 1967 Chevrolet Nova custom two-door coupe (Lot #1015) and a 2006 Ford Mustang custom convertible (Lot #1015.1).
Rock legend and television star Bret Michaels has consigned his personal 1969 Camaro (Lot #1288.1). An avid car and motorcycle enthusiast, Michaels was recently named People Magazine’s “Survivor of the Year” and FOX411’s “Celebrity of the Year.” In May 2010, he was hand-picked as Donald Trump’s Season 3 winner of Celebrity Apprentice.
The Camaro has been featured on MTV Cribs, VH1”s Rock of Love, VH1”s “Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It,” and in his latest video, “Driven.” This Custom Dream Machine sports a custom Moonbeam silver paint job with black racing stripes and black leather interior.
As an added bonus, Michaels will include a “Bret Michaels Signature Dean Custom Guitar,” which will be personalized to the winning bidder. The buyer will also receive two tickets and backstage VIP passes to any Bret Michaels or Poison show during summer 2011.
The 1963 Ford Thunderbird custom convertible that starred alongside Robin Williams in the 1997 Walt Disney hit “Flubber” will take the stage at (Lot #1268). This movie star has since been customized by Mike Goldman Custom's, Inc. The Thunderbird received a complete rotisserie restoration featuring LS1 power, 4L60 transmission and a custom air-intake engine panel under the hood. The car comes with Wilwood 14-inch six-piston brakes and 20-inch Dayton true knock-off wheels.
The green-on-black 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda custom two-door coupe offered as (Lot #1286) is a celebrity in its own right. Nicknamed the “Frankencuda,” this bad boy is featured in the fifth installment of the “Fast & Furious” motion picture series.
The ‘Cuda has been invited to the movie premiere in June 2011 and was signed by Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Justin Lin. It is the cover car on the September 2009 Mopar Collector's Guide magazine and was featured in Hot Rod. The car is built on an Art Morrison G Force chassis, four-wheel Wilwood power disc brakes and Budnik wheels. The engine is an all-aluminum 636 HEMI with a 14:71 blower and Ultra Dominator carburetors.
Jesse James of West Coast Choppers fame will sell a custom creation from his collection, a 1954 Chevrolet 210 custom two-door hardtop (Lot #1312). The vehicle was built on the hit TV show “Monster Garage” by a team of professionals made up of Gene Winfield, Bill Hines, Dick Dean, Fat Jack, Norm Grabowski and James.
The auction lineup will include a noteworthy collectible from the most famous of daredevils. The 2002 Ford F-150 Evel Knievel Gladiator (Lot #1265.1) is #000 prototype of 2,000. The vehicle has 19,023 actual miles and was incorporated into every known public appearance Evel Knievel made starting in 2002 and continuing until he could no longer drive due to health problems. Evel even used the truck on an appearance on “The Jimmy Kimmel Show,” insisting they record his segment with him sitting in the truck.
