The highest priced cars sold during Arizona Auction Week were not at the 2017 Barrett-Jackson Auction. In fact, the top sale of the week here in the Phoenix area was a 1963 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight Competition Coupe which sold for $6.7 million at the Bonham Auction on Friday. The Bonham Auction also produced the third highest price sale on Friday,  a 1962 Ferrari 340 America Spider with a $5.8 million price tag.

Here are some of the highest priced cars sold during Arizona Auctions Week:

  • 1963 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight Competition Coupe is the highest priced cars sold during Arizona Auctions Week. Sold for $6,7 million

Cars On Line.com photo-journalists Bob and Donna Boberg of eClassicAutos.com were here during the high profile auctions in the Phoenix area to record all the action. They covered the top sales at the exclusive auctions that occur here during Arizona Auctions Week. Many high profile auctions are held here to absorb all the buyers that gather here for the Barrett-Jackson Auction each year. It is ironic that none of the top sales actually occured at the Barrett-Jackson itself this year.

While the auctions were well attended again this year, none of the auction houses this year were able to match last year’s total sales figures. Even the highest priced cars sold during Arizona Auction Week failed to match the numbers in last years’s sales.

2016 Goodguys Southwest Nationals in Scottsdale, Arizona

2016 Goodguys Southwest Nationals

2016 Goodguys Southwest Nationals Finale …

During the 2016 Goodguys Southwest Nationals this afternoon, a young Gilbert, Arizona couple had the thrill of their lives. Their ticket number was announced identifying them as the winner of the 2017 Goodguys Giveaway Car, a 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie Custom built for Pro Touring. Leila Crupi could not stop screaming for joy as her husband Chris signed the acceptance form from Goodguys. Chris told us he has been a Ford Galaxie collector for years. The award could not have gone to a more fitting couple.

As the 19th Annual 2016 Goodguys Southwest Nationals came to a close this afternoon, Goodguys’ Grand Finale was in all measures one of the best major events in Goodguys’ history. The final Goodguys event for the 2016 car show season was held here in Scottsdale, Arizona, November 18-20, 2016. It is fair to call it “the biggest and the best” Goodguys show of the year. This is the show where all of the award winners for the past year are invited to soak up a little Arizona sunshine. Click the video window to see a snippet of the action:

As always, Cars On Line is here to cover all the exclusive action. You can view our photos and videos on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. Below,  see the 2016 Top 12 Cars and Trucks of the Year. They are sponsored by Meguiars.

  • 1937 Ford "Tudor" owned by Dan Wathor, Rio Linda, CA

Over 3,000 rods, customs, classics, muscle cars and trucks, 1972 and older, were registered to display on the show grounds at Westworld in Scottsdale (on the outskirts of Phoenix.) Here is a look at some of the cars in contention for the Southwest Nationals this weekend. See a video of the awards ceremony on our Facebook page.

Duel in the Desert at 2016 Goodguys Southwest Nationals …

Danny Popp of Cincinnati, Ohio won the Duel in the Desert today at the 19th Annual 2016 Goodguys Southwest Nationals. For most of the afternoon, Scott Fraser’s aluminum bodied 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra was turning in times a full second faster than Popp and his other competitors. But on the final run with Popp and Fraser competing for first place, Popp ran a 63.859 while Fraser ran a 63.9. It was that close. Popp wins a $3,000 cash prize.

Here is a video of the final round of the Goodguys Autocross Shootout during the 2016 Goodguys Southwest Nationals. It’s called the Duel in the Desert, and today it surely was:

All the top Autocross winners for the 2016 Goodguys Car Show season were invited to be here today. These cars have all won major Autocross events during the year. They were here today to win the biggest cash award of the year. But it wasn’t about the money. It was an intense competition to gain the title of Autocross Champion of the Year.  Here are some to the top cars in the Goodguys Shoutout here in Scottsdale on Saturday:

  • Danny Popp's 1972 Corvette at the 2016 Goodguys Southwest Nationals

Of the top Pro Class drivers from previous Goodguys events this year, all the winners were invited to the big “shootout” wild west style.  Former winner Danny Popp, Detroit Speed’s Ryan Matthews and Scott Fraser, whom you met last week in Pleasanton, were all here to compete. Two-time Indy winner Al Unser, Jr ran his 1970 Camaro in the Autocross as well. This one was worth watching.

Goodguys Rod & Custom Association is one of the premier car show promotions companies in the U.S. Their 2016 Goodguys Southwest Nationals is the final show of the 2016 car show season. It is an event every Goodguys member wants to attend because you can’t turn around here without bumping into another 2016 winning show car. But don’t worry, if you can’t make it to the show in person, you can follow all the action here on this page.

 

 

2015 Barrett-Jackson Auction

1957 Desoto Adventurer Convertible
A beautiful 1957 Desoto Adventurer Convertible crossed the block as the final car in the Salon Collection on Saturday. It was Lot # 5103. Only 300 of these cars were ever produced by Desoto. They are very desirable. It SOLD for $198,000

 

Prices Rise at 2015 Barrett-Jackson Auction …

There was a marked difference in the attitude for buyers here at the 2015 Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona this year. Not only were there more buyers here, but they were spending some serious money, raising expectations that collector car values might rise this year after three years of little or no growth.

Some of our observations of the day: we think Pontiac muscle cars are getting more respect from collectors. Look at some of the results of the auction noted below and you will see prices on Pontiac GTOs and Trans Ams inching up. Special edition Corvettes were selling well here also. We were surprised by some of the prices on Split Windows this week. This is a venue where early first generation Thunderbirds get a lot of respect and the money was here for them again on Saturday.

To compare the 2015 Barrett-Jackson Auction prices to average values at the end of 2014  read the Cars On Line.com Market Trends Report for 2014 by clicking this link. You’ll see that some of the cars sold here at the Barrett-Jackson sale are a marked increase over what the general market was seeing during 2014.

 

1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda
Muscle car enthusiasts were waiting to see what Hemi Cudas will bring here in Prime Time at the 2015 Barrett-Jackson Auction. This 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda is from the Ron Pratte Collection. SOLD for $440,000 with buyer’s commission included. Average values on Hemi Cuda hardtops in 2014 were around $206,000. But this one as very special.

You’ve seen 1970 Chevelle LS6’s before, but this one is very rare. It is a 1970 Chevelle LS6 Convertible. Only a handful were produced, all the rest being hardtops. It was for sale during the Salon Collection sale on Saturday. SOLD for $165,000.

 

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge Convertible sold for $165,000
This 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge Convertible sold for $165,000, although the average value on Judge convertibles was around $100,000. Average pricing on GTO convertibles for 2014 was just over $68,000. These Barrett-Jackson prices would seem to auger well for these cars in 2015. Photo by Bob Boberg of eClassic Autos.com.

 

Here are some of the star cars from Prime Time Saturday at the Barrett-Jackson Auction:

1966 Shelby Cobra
Carroll Shelby’s own 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake specially built for him is CSX3015. Because it was Shelby’s own car it may be the most valuable real Shelby Cobra ever built.

SOLD for $5,115,000 with buyer’s commission included.

 

1950 GM Futurliner

Record Breaking Tuesday Ron Pratte Collection …

"Christine" 1958 Plymouth Fury

The Stephen King movie car “Christine”, a 1958 Plymouth Fury Hardtop, starred in the creepy 1983 movie of the same name. One of the surviving movie cars sold here at the 2015 Barrett-Jackson Auction on Tuesday in a spectacular show. Click here to review Cars On Line’s coverage of the event.

The list of great collector cars  sold at the 2015 Barrett-Jackson Auction seemed endless here on Friday evening. There were a good number of 1969 Camaro Z/28s in the sale, most of them to be sold in prime time. Among the top cars sold were: the first 2015 Corvette Z06 to be sold retail (brought $800,000 in the Friday sale); a 1939 Cadillac La Salle C-Hawk Custom, Lot # 3005, sold for $410,000 in a charity sale to benefit PGA Tour Charities; Jeff Gordon’s 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo Busch Series race car, Lot # 3007 sold for $500,000 to raise money for Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation.

2015 Corvette Z06
The highlight of the Friday Sale at 2015 Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale was the sale of the first 2015 Corvette Z06. Collectors highly regard early serial number cars. This one went for $800,000.

The Friday sale here at the 2015 Barrett-Jackson Auction was a standout performance. The list of great quality collector cars seemed like it was limitless. Click here to view all the top sales recorded by Cars On Line during the Friday sale.

The reason we are here in Scottsdale this week is to take the temperature of the current collector car market. We believe that the 2015 Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale has the power to set the stage for an upward trend in collector car prices. Whatever happens here in Scottsdale this week may set the tone for an upward trend in collector car sales for the rest of the year.

The 44th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction is one of America’s great events. The history, the spectacle, the fervor for classic American steel is intoxicating as the staccato of the auctioneers voice pounds out a cadence that delights the crowd. Every three to five minutes history is made. What we will be watching for are quantifiable numbers which will tell us if collector car prices will go up this year. If average prices on collector cars increase here at the Barrett-Jackson it will most likely happen all across America by this spring.

Valuable collector vehicles from the Ron Pratt Collection to be sold at the 2015 Barrett-Jackson Auction
Two of the top collector vehicles from the Ron Pratte Collection will be on the auction docket for Saturday. The GM “Parade of Progress” Futureliner will sell at a charity auction for the Armed Services Foundation. The 1954 Pontiac Bonneville concept car stands next to it.

2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction

2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction – Saturday “Prime Time”

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — The excitement is palatable here at the 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction. The big money is in the house. Temperatures are already a balmy 80 degrees in the desert air. The smell of barbecue and exhaust fumes are filling the air. “Prime Time” Saturday here at the 43rd Annual Barrett-Jackson Auction is about to get underway.

Here are some of the sales we want to watch. Let’s see if our Facebook readers can predict the prices that these cars are likely to bring as they cross the auction block at the 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction.

1967 Corvette L88
Only 20 1967 L88s were produced. This is the only known red/red example. The “crown jewel of the Corvettes” and its history, documentation and judging records prove it. There is a reserve on this car. When it was at $3,450,000 it had not yet met reserve. Wow, they took the reserve off! Sold for $3,5 million. This will be the top sale here at the 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction for this year, and sets a new record for L88 Corvettes.

 

1954 Plymouth Belmont Concept Car
Chrysler took this 1954 Plymouth Belmont Concept Car to the Chicago Auto Show and New York Autorama in ’54. It was designed by Virgil Exner, but was never put into production. It has been shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Powered by a 241/150hp 3.9 Liter V8 with a Hy-drive transmission. Plymouth never produced a two-seater sports car until the Prowler. The reserve on this car was not lifted even though it was bid up to $1.2 million.

 

1963 Shelby Cooper Monaco King Cobra
With a 5-Liter V8 this 1963 Shelby Cooper Monaco King Cobra was a monster on a road course. This is the only remaining original King Cobra in existence. Not street legal, sold on Bill of Sale only. It was authenticated by Carroll Shelby himself. This is one of the most sought-after and significant automobiles ever built and raced by Carroll Shelby and the Shelby American team. CM/3/63 has been driven by America’s premier drivers including Holbert, Miles, Leslie, Pabst, Scott and Bucknum in the USRRC Series. It was no surprise when it received a winning bid of $1.5 million here at the Barrett-Jackson.

 

1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing
Accompanying this 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing onto the auction stage was Stirling Moss. It was bought new in Southern California at Mercedes-Benz of Hollywood. A three-owner car and the third owner had the car from the spring of 1960 all the way until May of 2013. The sale brought $1,900,000.

 

1929 Duesenberg SJ Lebaron
Everything was impeccable on this 1929 Duesenberg SJ Lebaron Dual Cowl Phaeton when it crossed the auction stage. Ray Wolfe said this engine was designated for the Marmom Meteor and was delivered with a supercharger and the extremely rare dual carburetor configuration. It is no wonder that the winning bid went to $1.3 million.

 

1932 Auburn Boattail Speedster
This 1932 Auburn Boattail Speedster is one of the most gorgeous cars you could want to view. They say it is a body-off restoration approximately five years ago. Scored 100 points in CCCA and is also a Senior car. Best of Show winner, People’s Choice at St. Michael’s Concours d’Elegance. Needs nothing. It was sold for $440,000.

 

1937 Lincoln K Willoughby
Look at this 1937 Lincoln K Willoughby 7-Passenger Touring car. They say it was a commissioned parade car for the State of New York Governor Herbert Lehman. One of seven made for special orders. Last production of Grand Touring cars. This gorgeous and rare vintage motorcar sold for $260,000. This one was well bought.

These cars below will be sold during the early part of the afternoon, 1 PM to 3 PM on Saturday. You’ll see this segment of the Barrett-Jackson Auction on FOX regular broadcast stations (your local FOX station.)

Snake And the Mongoose at 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction
Everyone here in Scottsdale believes that the Snake And the Mongoose set of match race vehicles will be the premier sale at the 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction. All four vehicles from the movie Snake & the Mongoose were restored by Don “Snake” Prudhomme. The Cuda drag car and two 1967 Dodge Ramp truck haulers were the vehicles which Prudhomme and Tom “Mongoose” McEwen actually used during their Mattel Match Race tour in 1970. The yellow Dodge D-700 ramp truck was purchased by Prudhomme from Richard Petty. The red Dodge Ramp truck used by McEwen was originally purchased from Sox & Martin. Will this four-vehicle set be this year’s Batmobile sale here at the 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction? Unfortunately the reserve was not met at $1 million. Prudhomme decided to keep the vehicles. Then, after the sale, he was approached by NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick. The two famous racing legends struck a deal. The famous race cars and their haulers will now reside in Hendrick’s museum in Concord, North Carolina. A great ending to a storied set of racing vehicles.

 

1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird
The car that Plymouth built to lure Richard Petty back to their camp in NASCAR. Original 426/425hp HEMI engine and 727 automatic. Visual inspection by two Mopar authorities. Rotisserie restoration. Outstanding in every detail. We said on our Facebook page that this is the car that could steal the show. It did bring big money at $500,000.

 

1963 Corvette Pro Street
The 1963 Corvette Pro Street (shown above) will be among the most desirable cars in the high profile sale this weekend. Among the fine selection of desirable collector Corvettes to be sold is a car familiar to Car On Line readers. The Saturday prime time lineup of cars which will cross the auction block at this year’s Barrett-Jackson Auction includes the 1963 Corvette Pro Street which was chosen as last year’s 2012 CAR of the YEAR on the Cars On Line website.
The custom Split Window Corvette is billed as the “The World’s Fastest Street Legal Corvette,” certified by NHRA and IHRA Pro Mod- 7.50 ET and faster. Newsletter readers know that this car was designed and built by Rod Saboury, one of the world’s most noted Pro Street Corvette builders. The body is a real 1963 split window with original VIN plate and correct title, lengthened and widened hood with scoops to house the trubos. Lengthened 12″, 6″ in rear of front fenders, 4″ in the roof and 2″ in the rear quarters. For more information see our featue article on the Corvettes – 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction. It sold for $180,000.

 

1963 Corvette Asteroid
The original owner, Bob Nordskog, was a well-known boat racer and an entrepreneur that loved speed. He built a dual purpose show/race car that was out of this world called the “Asteroid.” It was further restored by George Barris where it received this incredible paint job. Sold for $170,000.

 

1969 Corvette L88 race car part of the Corvettes - 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction collection
A 1969 Corvette L88 race car is featured in the Cars On Line preview of Corvettes – 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction. This incredible Corvette L88 is one of only four factory light weight L88’s ever produced. The world record holding #57 Rebel Corvette convertible has appeared in numerous publications and graced the cover of Autoweek, Corvette News and Corvette Corner back in its day. Amazing, just sold for $2.6 million. It was he second highest sale of the day.

Watch for our updates on the Cars On Line.com Facebook page as we bring you stories from the Barrett-Jackson all week. Then on Saturday join us on Facebook again for a discussion of the “Prime Time” cars.

1971 Corvette ZR2
How rare is this? A 1971 Corvette ZR2, one of 12 built, 454/425hp, M22 4-speed, F41 suspension, 4.11 and J56 power brakes. A ZR1 went through earlier. They were designated by Chevrolet as the Off-Road package, code for factory race car. Holy Cow! It sold for $450,000! Top sale of the day so far!

 

1969 Baldwin Motion Chevelle
We’re really interested in what this 1969 Baldwin Motion Chevelle will bring at the 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction. You don’t see that many of these up for sale at public auctions. Will it get Yenko type money?

 

1968 Shelby GT500 KR Convertible
What a find. A yellow 1968 Shelby GT500 KR Convertible. These vehicles used to sell for over $250,000 before the recession. What will it bring today? Wow! Sold for $280,000! Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about.

 

1969 COPO Camaro
A real 1969 COPO Camaro was a Jerry MacNeish inspected and certified COPO Camaro that was exported into Canada with documentation. Complete frame-off, nut and bolt restoration with extensive use of original and NOS parts. It sold early in the show today for $120,00

The 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction will have a new look this year as nearly everything about the show has changed. They have a new auction stadium compliments of the city of Scottsdale, so the grounds are set up very differently this year. You will also note that FOX Sports has bought out the SPEED Channel so the schedule for watching the Barrett-Jackson on TV is very different this year. You need a schedule to find out which segments of the auction will be seen on the different channels. See the schedule at the bottom of this page.

This year for the first time the 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction will be televised over the FOX network of cable channels. FOX bought SPEED Channel and now offers the Barrett-Jackson Auction to a wider variety of viewers. See the schedule of FOX network channels below.
