Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction

Anonymous032819 — Sat, 24 Oct 2020 20:59:45 GMT

Is in Scottsdale, Az.

I love seeing all of these cars, and trying to guess how much they will go for.

My favorite so far was a McClarren (sp?).

Beautiful car!

I like the auction, too. I just wish those commentators didn't talk so much. I like to hear the bidding.

You can understand what the auctioneer is saying?

They talk so fast!

My neighbor is a car collector and has gone to these auctions many times. Love some of those cars and I'm sure some come with a hefty price tag.

Thank you for the reminder! We always enjoy watching it and forgot it was on!

Went one year. It's fun to attend. Lots of neat cars and great for people watching. Usually very crowded. I wonder how they're going to do it next year in January.

Love that show too. The guy with the white mustasche, I think his name is Mike?, that redoes cars was on a show a couple of days ago and they had a very early 1960's jaguar that the restored and painted a pearl gray.

I thought that was one of the most beautiful cars I had ever seen EVER. It had just the right amount of chrome and was sleek and perfect! Oh my goodness would I love to have that one!

The purple McClaren was a 2012, went for $110k.

They showed the guy who won it (everyone there is wearing a mask), and I said to the tv, "Hello! Are you married? Do you want a side piece?"😄

I'm joking!

Sorry, but that was one sexy car!

My brother's car was a featured car one year. I think it was 2017. They did a story on his Mustang convertible. It was originally owned by my uncle and it was weird seeing my family in the story on TV. He said it was a great experience.

Did you notice all the Mustangs? These shows remind me how I traded off my 1969 Mustang because it had a couple of dents and a whopping 50,000 miles on it. Boy was I stupid.
