Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale

January 11 – 19, Scottsdale, AZ

The huge Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale event kicks-off on Saturday, January 11, and the Factory Five crew is there in force. We have our show and event truck loaded up with our latest cars, and we are building a Mk4 Roadster LIVE during the nine day show. Last year, we built a ’35 Hot Rod Truck in the D.I.Y/Restoration Alley, and this year we are building a Mk4 Roadster in honor of our 25th anniversary of building this model!

Last year’s Barrett-Jackson D.I.Y. area ’35 Hot Rod Truck build.

Customers are welcome to roll up their sleeves, grab a wrench, and lend a hand in building this car. The build will progress each day of the show, and at the end of the show, the car will be running and driving.

Factory Five customer Ron Everitt auctioned his Wimbledon White Coyote-powered Daytona Coupe for a final sale of $77,000!

Special edition Barrett-Jackson Truck debuted at last year’s event.

Factory Five’s Tony Zullo, Chris Ronni, and Dan Golub are joined by customers Freddy Simmons, Ryan Valin, Ron Everitt, and others all week in Scottsdale.

Congratulations to Jim. and Cecily T. from Heathsville, VA on graduating their Factory Five Mk4 Roadster build! They received their kit in April 2024. “I was in no rush since I planned on enjoying the build just as much as cruising in it.,” said Jim. “Goes back to my old drag racing days in the 70’s.
