Car lovers – mark your calendars! It’s time to start planning that dream vacation around your passion for the automobile. Forget about visiting a car museum or watching a car race. Instead, head to a Barrett Jackson auction. You’ve seen it on SPEED Channel. You’ve probably dreamed about those shiny, restored, classic machines that cross the block.
Barrett Jackson is an auction, and so much more for the car enthusiast. The auction is great if you want to shell out thousands (or millions) for a classic ride. But, you never have to bring your checkbook to enjoy this car lover’s event. All you have to do is bring your enthusiasm for the automobile and enjoy.
The best part of this event is simple. All the cars that cross the auction block are on display for you to enjoy. Tent after tent and row after row of classic automobiles are waiting for you. There are the classics, the restored muscle cars, the one of a kind, and a few famous rides thrown in for good measure. You can walk right up to these machines, peer inside, pose for pictures, and dream about how that classic ’57 T Bird would look in your garage.
A general admission ticket gets you into the auction too. Now, you won’t be able to bid unless you register with Barrett Jackson. But, you can get swept up in all the excitement as cars roll across the block and bidders from across the world try to buy their dream car.
But, that’s not all! Ford and GM bring displays of their latest cars. We are a little biased here and absolutely love the Ford exhibit. Who wouldn’t want to slip between the wheel of a 2012 Ford Mustang GT convertible for a few moments? And there are plenty of auto product vendors selling the latest wax and wash product so you can fix up your ride.
Barrett Jackson auctions take place across the country in some of the most desirable vacation destinations. Mark your calendar and make your plans!

The Big One – Barrett Jackson Scottsdale
January just might be a car lover’s favorite month. First, they get to use all those auto themed Christmas gifts their family and friends gave them. Then, one of the biggest and best car show/auction in the world occurs. We are taking about the Barrett Jackson event in Scottsdale, Arizona. For 40 years, car lovers have flocked to the Arizona desert to watch some of the most beautiful, coveted cars cross the block.
Sure, there are other Barrett Jackson events. There are events in Las Vegas, Palm Beach, and Orange County, California. But, this one is special. It’s their biggest event with (in our opinion) the best cars and lasts for an entire week! This is quite possibly a car lover’s heaven on earth.
Barrett Jackson is a car auction. We are not talking about your neighbor’s minivan or the clunker you pass by on your way to work. We are talking about Cobras, Shelby Mustangs, one of a kind Corvettes, first edition Thunderbirds, classic Packard’s, and muscle cars!!
So, you are probably thinking how much fun can a car auction really be? Well, you never have to bid on a car to be part of the action. All the cars that cross the block are on display. Yes, you can walk right up and check them out. In fact, most people who come to the auction never actually bid. They just want to see tent after tent filled with some of the finest automobiles on the planet. Plus, there are plenty of vendor displays and automobile memorabilia to see. Chevy and Ford come to tout their latest offerings. You can sit in a brand new 2011 Mustang GT Convertible or learn more about their newest concept vehicles. And there is plenty of food and drink to enjoy as you see the displays.
Make sure to walk into the auction hall just to get a feel for the auction action. If you decide to bid, you will have to pre-register beforehand (see below website). If you are looking for deals, the auction’s first few days will be for you. If you have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spare, the last few days (especially Saturday) will be more to your liking.
This year’s auction takes place between January 18th and January 23rd. A general admission ticket will allow you access to the display areas and general seating in the auction hall. Ticket prices vary based on the day you want to attend.

Cars Lovers Heading To Las Vegas for Barrett Jackson Auction
Las Vegas, Nevada will become the center of the classic car universe September 23 – September 25th. Barrett Jackson returns to Las Vegas. For three days, classic, customs, modifieds, and first editions will roll across the auction block. Car collectors and car lovers will get the chance to see some of their favorite cars, bringing back memories from their youth, and see some of the more modern classics.
Barrett Jackson used to host just one auction a year in Scottsdale, Arizona. But as the car collector hobby has grown, they have expanded. Palm Beach, Las Vegas, and Orange County, California now host yearly auctions. Why the popularity? For the car collector, the auction offers a wide variety of rides in all different price ranges. For the car enthusiast, you never have to bid on a car. You can simply walk through and see all the cars that will roll across the auction block.
A general admission ticket (only $15) allows you access to see each of the cars that roll across the block. Rows and rows of automobiles are lined up for you to see up close and personal. Car enthusiasts hunt for their favorites and reminisce with fellow enthusiasts. Check out the car manufacturer’s displays and vendor displays. A general admission ticket also allows you to stand in the auction area. You can’t bid, but you can watch your favorite cars be auctioned off.
For those who want to bid, you will need to pre-register in advance. The auction begins on Thursday afternoon. The beginning of the auction typically offers the best deals. Saturday night is the big night, with some cars exceeding $200,000. Part of the fun is you never know which car is going to be the hot item. Every year is different – some years the vintage T-Birds are the “it” car to collect and other years the SS or the Dodge RT.
This is a must event for car lovers. Where else can you see hundreds and hundreds of perfectly restored or maintained classic Mustangs, T-Birds, Camaros, Cadillacs, Model As, and more? For more information, check out their website: www.barrett-jackson.com
