Join Us at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale, 1/12-1/20

The Factory Five crew is already set-up and excited for the huge annual Barrett-Jackson car auction in Scottsdale, AZ. This year, we have four main areas where Factory Five stuff is happening!

1. The Factory Five truck is set-up in the vendors mid-way leading to the auction. In this display, we have some great cars including Jeff Moore’s white ’35 Hot Rod Truck that debuted at SEMA, two customer Mk4 Roadsters, Freddy S.’s “Battle of the Builder” ’35 Hot Rod Truck that debuted at SEMA, the 2nd Gen ’33 Hot Rod chassis, and a stunning customer-built Factory Five ’33 Hot Rod.

3. Factory Five builder Chris Reylea from FormaCars brought out two Mk4 Roadsters, an 818S, and a beautiful Factory Five Type 65 Coupe.

4. This year, there are five Factory Fives in the Barrett-Jackson auction including two customer-built GTMs, the Barrett-Jackson Special Edition Truck #001, a customer-built red Mk4 Roadster, and the Factory Five Type 65 Coupe that was built at SEMA 2018 and drifted in the Ford Out Front Area!


The Special Edition Barrett-Jackson Shop Truck #001 is heading across the auction block on Sunday, January 20th, the last day out the auction!
