Another month to go before the Super Bowl kicks off, but the auctioneers are back with Super Bowl of collector car this week in Scottsdale. And just like all Super Bowl parties across America, the 43rd annual Barrett-Jackson goes way beyond the wheeling and dealing on the auction block.
"It's a party, it's a lifestyle event. It's some of the best cars on the planet and they're all for sale," CEO Craig Jackson told ABC15.
Over 1,400 cars, from one-of-a-kind vehicles to celebrity rides, including cars owned by singer Steven Tyler and Hall of Fame baseball player Reggie Jackson, will be put on display.
“These cars are world-class cars that people will rarely get to see, let alone have an opportunity to purchase," Jackson added.
Some of the high-dollar highlights of this year's show are 1950 MERCURY CUSTOM - owned and built by actor Matthew Fox, 1949 HUDSON COMMODORE 8 4-DOOR SEDAN - from "Driving Miss Daisy." movie, 1972 OLDSMOBILE 442 CONVERTIBLE - previously owned by James Gandolfini, 2008 BUGATTI VEYRON 2-DOOR COUPE owned by Simon Cowell, 1986 FERRARI TESTAROSSA STRAMAN CONVERTIBLE – driven by Michael Jackson in the Pepsi Commercial called "The Chopper." and 1963 CHEVROLET IMPALA CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE - previously owned by Kobe Bryant.
