Barrett Jackson 2023 - Thoughts/Opinions?

[Canuck]

I was there Tuesday Thursday and Saturday. $200,000 broncos was the norm. In the Brand wars a Ferrari got the big bucks while Ford was strong with the GT versions. Muscle cars were all over the map.
The crazy sale was the 1938 Mercedes 540K that is a $1,000,000 car across town but only got $500,000 despite the urging and interrupting or Craig. Yes Craig we know ‘it’s way below the Money”. Craig claimed they were getting back to their roots from 1971. Too late.
Anybody else hear about the fender bender in the staging lanes around 8:00 pm Saturday.

How about a 1979 Trans Am for $200K, not even 400 pontiac, 4 speed bandit edition!

Question - can general admission get into staging lanes and main tent?

General admission will allow you into the first stage staging lanes but not the final ones. You can get into the main tent but not the seats in the bidder area.

Thanks for the information.
I hope to get back to BJ Arizona one of these years.
The only time I went I got lucky and bumped into a guy that gave me a guest pass in exchange for a ride to the auction!
Looks like it costs minimum $500 USF almost $700 cdn to get a bidders pass. Is it worth it just to get a little closer to the cars if you have no intentions on bidding?

The TA had 37 actual miles.

General admission gets you into the pre-staging lanes, all tents, and around the bidders pit. Lots to see there on Friday and Saturday nights.

WOW, looks like a few people aren't going to be happy!
What is the car that hit the Shelby, a custom 1st gen Camaro?

Terrible, I wonder how something like that gets resolved.
