Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Update

Posted on January 17, 2019 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

We’ve been so busy that we haven’t had time to post photos and video updates of all the action at the huge Scottsdale, Arizona Barrett-Jackson Auction! The crew is more than half way done building the LIVE BUILD Barrett-Jackson Special Edition Truck #002 in the Restoration Alley. Truck #001 is scheduled for auction on Sunday, and there are a host of Factory Fives heading to the block today.

Traffic at the Factory Five booth has been steady, and the weather has been mild. Check out some great photos below.

The Special Edition Barrett-Jackson Truck is getting a ton of attention, and was featured in the company’s e-mail blast.

Ron Everitt’s white and blue Type 65 Coupe that was built at SEMA 2018 is going up for auction today!
