2016 Barrett-Jackson Northeast Report

This year was the very first year for the Barrett-Jackson Northeast auction.  The event was held at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut.  What was forecast to be a well attended event turned out to be a MASSIVE event.  Ticket sales were sold out by 10 am on the first day and an estimated 90,000 people made it through the gates during the three-day event!
