GALLERY OF GREATS: Highlights of Record-Breakers at the 2021 Scottsdale Auction
April 14, 2021
Posted by Barrett-Jackson
Among the many record-breakers at the 2021 Scottsdale Auction was the $962,500 sale of this 1965 Shelby GT350.
If ever there was an indicator that the collector car hobby is alive and well, it was the 95-plus record-breaking sales achieved at the 2021 Scottsdale Auction in March. From the very first day of the collector car auction, when an unassuming 1958 Bliss Surrey Carriage motored across the block and sold for more than 20 times the previous record, it was apparent some surprises were in store. A wide variety of custom pickups and SUVs made the record-breaker list, a sure sign that trend shows no signs of slowing down. Edsel B. Ford II’s 1958 Edsel Bermuda Wagon and a brand-new 2021 Honda Civic Type R each sold for $165,000, three times the previous high sales for any year of their respective models. Without a doubt, the Scottsdale Auction was one for the record books. The gallery below highlights more than two dozen of the more notable sales, the majority of which sold for more than twice the previous record.
