Rev Up Those Engines and Head to Barrett Jackson Palm Beach

Classic car enthusiasts from around the world are getting ready to descend on Palm Beach. Next week, Barrett-Jackson makes its annual stop on Florida’s beautiful East Cost. Ford Mustang Fastbacks, 1950’s Chevy Corvette Convertibles, Ford Deluxe Custom Coupes, and Austin Healey’s are just a few of the cars expected to cross the block. But, this year’s event has a twist. Cars will be selling at no-reserve and reserve. The action on the block is sure to be exciting!



Most people who head to a Barrett-Jackson event never register to bid on the cars. They just go to walk aisle after aisle of some of the finest automobiles on the planet. Hundreds of cars are on display here and you get the opportunity to walk right up and take a peak! Of course, you can’t touch, but you can dream about how you would look behind the wheel!

A general admission ticket will get you into the auction block, but you can’t bid. You can only watch the exciting action. To become a bidder, you will need to register with Barrett-Jackson in advance. If you’re a first time Barrett Jackson attendee, it’s best to just get a feel for the auction and plan your strategy to bid next year. Trust us, once you attend one of these events you will want to keep coming back!

Of course, it isn’t all about looking at these cars. The auction offers car care seminars, Ford & GM Ride & Drives, plenty of car enthusiast vendors, and some great food. Ford always puts on quite a display of their fast rides. You can even register to “pretend” drag race a Mustang!

This year’s event runs April 7th – April 9th. Saturday is the biggest day, with the best cars auctioned off. If you are looking for deals, head over on Thursday. You can get some real steals. Can’t make it this year? Well, the SPEED CHANNEL has you covered with extensive live coverage each day.

You can buy tickets online or at the gate. Expect to pay anywhere from $7 to $20 each day and there are discounts for seniors (55+) and kids (up to 12). For more information, visit www.barrett-jackson.com
