What else can be said about this year’s Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction. As every year, there were some great deals had and some cars sold at probably a higher price than what they would have sold for outside of Scottsdale, Arizona in mid-January. Despite a decrease of 40 Corvettes or so over last year’s totals, and especially the lack of big block 1967 Corvettes, the auction still pulled in slightly over $11 million in Corvette sales.
While the big winner of the week was GM with their Corvette ZR1 auction of the first retailable unit, number 0001, other Corvettes did particularly well. The 1963 Pininfarina Rondine (pronounced ron-din-eh) set the high for the entire auction at $1,600,000. The 1971 Corvette ZR2 sold for $325,000. A matched set of Corvettes which share the same VIN, one a 1958 Black Roadster and the other a 2008 Black Z06 sold for $260,000, and rounding out fifth place on the Top Corvette Sales list was a beautiful 1958 Silver Blue Corvette Roadster that gaveled for $220,000.
Dave Ressler’s bid of $1,000,000 for the right to buy the first Corvette ZR1 really sums up what Barrett-Jackson has become in its 37th year. It’s not just an auction, it’s an event to be celebrated by automotive aficionados as the Super Bowl of car auctions. It’s always interesting to see which car is the favorite as well as to note which cars aren’t there. I think it’s safe to say that this year the Ford Shelbys and Mustangs had a great run. And other than several notable Mercedes-Benz models, there were less European cars at this auction than I can remember in recent times.
Speed TV did a great job with the show as always. Sure, you can nitpick anybody’s comments from a live TV show, but the wealth of knowledge those guys bring to the broadcast really makes it enjoyable to watch and you can learn much from them. Also, I’d like to thank my wife for putting up with me watching gavel-to-gavel auction coverage from Tuesday to Sunday. You’re the bomb! So like the super bowl, we present our post-game stats in the form of the Corvette auction results list and video replays which are available after the jump.
