Barrett Jackson Auto Auction

On Saturday, Tiffany and I went to the Barrett Jackson Auction in Scottsdale. This is the most renowned car show in the country every year. Last year we weren't able to go because we were moving from our rental home that day. They showcase some of the highest valued collector cars anywhere. The highest priced car went for $1.6 million, while most cars that night were auctioned for about $3-500,000. Last year a record was set for a car selling at a price of $5.5 million.

The auction runs for 7 days straight, but Saturday night is when they show the best of the best. They also auction a few other rareties, such as Robosaurus-the giant robotic dinosaur that crushes cars at monster truck competitions was auctioned off for about $500,000. They also sold the speed boat from the Miami Vice movie along with a Miami Vice Hummer. It was a pretty cool event, but extremely crowded which made it hard to get up in front of the stage. Once we found seats, it was better.







This Mustang looks brand new. I believe it was a '67.
