DAY 6 SHINES IN SCOTTSDALE: Perfect weather and gorgeous cars headline Thursday at Barrett-Jackson
January 18, 2018
Posted by Barrett-Jackson
When it comes to trends at Barrett-Jackson this year, it certainly seems that pickups are popular, consistently bringing in strong prices all week. The busy auction arena had its first surprise star of the day today early in the afternoon, when a beautiful 1971 Chevrolet K10 Custom Pickup (Lot #701) decked out in Butterscotch Pearl paint sold for $110,000; another custom pickup – a 1956 Chevrolet 3100 (Lot #861) – brought in $106,700.
Lot #3004 – 1987 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO AERO CUSTOM COUPE “PROJECT PRESTONE” – $100,000
The top seller of the day, however, went to an all-steel 1930 custom Model A (Lot #775.1) known as “Wild Green,” built by Heath Garage in Finland and brought to the U.S. by Richard Rawlings from Gas Monkey Garage. Featured in many of the episodes of the TV show “Fast N’ Loud,” it sold for $154,000.
Two charity vehicles crossed the block today with 100% of the hammer price going to very special causes based in Barrett-Jackson’s home state of Arizona. First up, built at the SEMA Garage in California, was Lot #3003, a powerful 2017 Ford F-250 Pickup equipped with a 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel engine that brought in $115,000 to benefit Childhelp through the SEMA Cares Foundation.
Later in the evening “Project Prestone” (Lot #3004) had its turn onstage. The 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aero Custom Coupe was transformed over the summer of 2017 by the Barrett-Jackson Showroom Service Department, with the help of Prestone and more than a dozen other partners. The gavel came down on a winning bid of $100,000, all of which will go to the TGen Foundation.
The new Barrett-Jackson #DrivenHearts license plates will be on sale through Saturday at the auction (and can always be ordered online at ServiceArizona.com).
Topping today’s automobilia sales was an outstanding 1928 Packard Automobiles Wayne Model 515 restored filling station visible gas pump (Lot #9295), going to its new home for $23,000. Other notable pieces of the past that particularly caught the attention of bidders today included a Mack Trucks lighted sign from the 1950s, a cigarette machine from the 1930s-40s and a pair of pristine pedal cars.
Elsewhere around the auction site, the popular Ford Ride ’N Drives, Chevrolet Hot Laps and Dodge Thrill Rides were in full swing; the Factory Five and RideTech car builds were progressing well in the Restoration Garage; and the younger crowd enjoyed the new STEAM City attraction, with many activities promoting learning in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. Representatives from the Arizona Department of Transportation were on-site again today (and will return Friday and Saturday) to sell the new Barrett-Jackson license plates – just one facet of the company’s yearlong “Driven Hearts” charitable initiative to raise funds and bring much-needed awareness for the American Heart Association.
