Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2017 Saturday

Saturday is the biggest day at Barrett-Jackson, both dollar wise, attendance wise and celebrity wise. Since Holly just had her kidney transplant a month ago, we thought it wise to get to Barrett-Jackson early and then be gone before the big crowds hit around noon-as we cannot control who is around her...and who might not be feeling well.

Getting to Barrett-Jackson at 8:30am, it was already getting busy. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they broke their attendance records this year...even with the crazy rain that we had on Friday. It was a cool crisp morning with a few clouds, which was certainly welcome after deluge yesterday.

As far as the pictures, we wanted to try and feature many different makes of cars that are represented at Barrett-Jackson. I love muscle cars of all types, but it is amazing the variation of cars that are here every year.

To start, you can't go wrong with a 1969 Indy Pace Camaro

Or an LT-1 Corvette

2017 Shelby Super Snake!

This Mustang has 670 horsepower, a generous 235-horse increase over the stock GT.Shelby will build just 500 examples of the 50th Anniversary Super Snake. Pricing starts at $69,995, a figure that includes the cost of the donor vehicle but not the miscellaneous taxes and fees. The list of options includes the aforementioned 750-hp upgrade package, a short-throw shifter, racing stripes, Katzkin leather upholstery, and a four-point roll bar.

Then back into the main tent to meet up with some friends. Did I mention that there are cars as far as you can see?

And that I am a huge SD455 Trans Am aficionado?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psthd1snlf.jpg

As I said yesterday, meeting up with friends and making new friends is the best!

Our good buddy Dan Vasic was out from Chicago after doing some restoration work on a 1972 Hurst Olds Pace Car convertible for Joe Spagnoli. Here's Holly and Dan
