Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2019 offers the world’s coolest car auction as 1800 cars are sold with “no reserve,” meaning there’s no minimum price. This provides opportunities for buyers to find bargains while sellers nervously watch their cars go under the hammer. The pace is brisk, with 25 cars changing hands every hour. Barrett-Jackson doesn’t just feature auctioned classic collector cars; it’s also a trade show where exhibitors showcase new performance cars and top accessories. All auctioned cars are displayed indoors in large halls, making it easy to spend a few hours admiring your favorite cars. My favorites are always Shelbys and Ford’s performance cars like Boss, GT, and Cobra Jet.
“The curtain rises as the car is sold
to a new eagerly awaiting owner
who hopefully has made the purchase of a lifetime.”
The prices were at record levels, and this 1969 Ford Boss 429 was no exception.

Scottsdale, on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona, offers 20°C weather in January. The Wild West theme permeates the landscape with mountains, tall cacti, and low vegetation. Old Town Scottsdale resembles a Wild West town with shops, great eateries, and perhaps a whisky at the saloon. Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale is well worth a visit, especially during prime time on Saturday when the most expensive cars are auctioned. Everything flows smoothly through security and entry. Free shuttle buses run from the parking lot to the entrance. Admission is $80 for adults, $65 for seniors 55 and older. Bidding on cars requires an extra fee for deposits and bank guarantees.
