CAMAROS TO CROSLEYS: Day Four at Scottsdale brings more strong sales with the Bryan Frank Collection
January 15, 2019
Posted by Barrett-Jackson
Overcast skies didn’t dampen the spirits of the thousands who streamed into WestWorld of Scottsdale on Tuesday for the fourth day of the 2019 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction. With more than a million square feet under cover at the vast site, there’s plenty to do and see, rain or shine!
Flowers and a moment of silence in the auction arena honored the memory of fallen Arizona police officer Clayton Joel Townsend.
The collector car auction began on a somber note as Barrett-Jackson honored the memory of fallen Salt River Arizona Police Officer Clayton Joel Townsend, who was laid to rest today. You could have heard a pin drop in the packed auction arena during the moment of silence, a touching tribute to a local hero.
Following a powerful rendition of the National Anthem by 12-year-old Frankie McNellis, nearly 200 vehicles made the trip across the storied Barrett-Jackson auction block today, including the first 10 from the Bryan Frank Collection. For the second day in a row, world records were set, including the $20,900 sale of a 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief, a 1962 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside pickup – one of only 101 registered – for $77,000, an original 1961 Ford F-100 pickup for $88,000 and a 1968 Ford Econoline van , fully decked out as the “Mystery Machine” from Scooby-Doo, for $59,400.
A crowd favorite today was this 1968 Ford Econoline Custom “Mystery Machine” Van, which set a new world record when it sold for $59,400.
Other bidder favorites of the day were a 1957 Porsche Speedster Re-Creation, a 1966 Lincoln Continental convertible, and a 1930 Chevrolet custom sedan.
Sales were also strong at Tuesday’s Automobilia Auction, with nearly 350 pristine pieces of the past finding new homes. Best-sellers includes a Husky Oil service station sign from the 1930s-40s and a rare Esso Aviation neon sign from the 1950s, each of which sold for $40,250. Another brilliantly colored neon sign displaying Ford V8, from the 1930s, went to its new home for $24,150, an extremely rare all-original Michelin Tires air compressor brought the gavel down at $23,000, and a stunning 1946 Wurlitzer jukebox went to one lucky bidder for $18,400.
