2016 Barrett-Jackson Northeast Report

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

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!

The Factory Five team brought along three premium rides for this inaugural event. The Factory Five-Hot Rod Magazine ’33 was joined by our flagship GTM and our brand-new Mk4 Roadster.

The Mk4 Roadster always draws a crowd.

The Factory Five booth was directly along the entrance for every single auction car. So not only did we get a chance to visit with customers, we also got to check out every single auction car before they crossed the block.

Barrett-Jackson put on a class event on par with their annual Scottsdale bash.

The event was crowded all three days.

Customer Charlie D. started his Coupe build in Spring 2018, and by the end of the year, he had his first start and was soon go-carting around the neighborhood. Over the next year, he worked on fitting the body. He had to hit pause on the build for several years due to focus on some other projects. But he kept his Coupe dream alive, and once the other projects were finished, he got back to work on his Factory Five.

At Factory Five, we build. We build cars, stories, friendships, and relationships.

I asked him if he wanted to restore an old car or build something like a Factory Five Roadster — and without hesitation, he… Read More »
