Description of Event

Since 1971, Barrett-Jackson has set the standard for classic car auctions. Through the years, the “flagship” Scottsdale auction has experienced phenomenal growth and is recognized as the pacesetter for the collector car auction industry.

Over the past 39 years, the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction has grown to eight days, including six days of auction, approximately 1,000 vehicles, nightlife, fashion shows, drifting, ride ‘n drives, and demonstrations. For the past five years, Barrett-Jackson drew over 200,000 spectators at WestWorld, where the event has been held since 1989.

History

Russ Jackson and Tom Barrett organized the original auction at Scottsdale, Arizona. Jackson met Barrett through an interest in Barrett’s 1933 Cadillac V-16 Town Car. In 1967, Barrett and Jackson presented a car show called “Fiesta del Auto Elegance”, a fund-raiser for local charities, including the Scottsdale Library. Then in 1971, the two jointly presented a classic car auction, thrusting the Barrett-Jackson name into international prominence. Barrett’s Mercedes 770 Phaeton sold for $153,000 at this event.

Russ Jackson died in 1993, and Tom Barrett, in 2004. Craig Jackson, who had worked actively on a daily basis throughout the year and on-site at the event, took over company reins in 1997, the same year the auction began airing live on SPEED. Internet bidding was also introduced at that time.

Starting at the 3rd annual Palm Beach auction in 2005, the show was renamed from “Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction” to “Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction”, followed by the name change in the Scottsdale, Arizona auction in 2006.

Beginning in 2008, the auction also takes place in Las Vegas.

Beginning in 2010, the auction also takes place in Orange County, California.

Although it is billed as an automobile auction, other items are also sold, including trucks, motorcycles, airplanes, engines, boats and other memorabilia. The auction has also became a place for American car manufacturers to sell the first production vehicles of a given model and generation combination, in charity format.

The Saturday auction is commonly known as ‘Shatterday’, referring to the frequent record breaking sales that occur that day.

Many celebrities have attended the event, putting their own possessions up for auction. They included Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Jay Leno, Alice Cooper, Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, baseball players Reggie Jackson and Randy Johnson, DMX, Carroll Shelby, Bill Goldberg, Tony Stewart, and motorcycle customizer Jesse James.

SRP Shade Tree Progam

Shade trees block the sun’s rays, providing natural, “low-tech” cooling on a hot summer day. The correct placement of a shade tree can actually make a building up to 20° cooler in the summer. Trees are so important to temperature control that Salt River Project has actually gotten into the tree business.

SRP is giving away 3 shade trees to customers who attend a SRP Shade Tree Program Workshop and whose home was built before 1980, and up to 2 trees for all other homes. During the workshop, you’ll learn how to select, plant and care for desert adapted shade trees.

Registration is free to SRP customers.  Space is limited. Sign-up today by calling (602) 325-1254 or visit http://www.savewithsrp.com
