More than 80 special and premium collector cars were sold during the 5th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event. And because of the huge amount of vehicles that were set on auction, the event place was packed with enthusiasts of all kinds.
Interestingly, a 24-year-old was able to set out and auction a vehicle and was able to let it be included as one of the auction’s prized vehicles. Tony Cesario of Arizona was able to sell a Chevrolet truck which is painted in metallic blue and has been custom built. He shares, “I’ve spent over $50,000 on renovating this vehicle, and it’s my first time on the auction block. I’m psyched about the result. I don’t believe it. I didn’t expect it to go for $32,000!”
On the other hand, Craig Jackson, the CEO of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company, is quite enthusiastic about the results of the event. He exclaims, “We couldn’t have asked for a more successful opening day. The entire nation witnessed on television some of the world’s best kept automobiles sell for significant five figure sums. This is just the start of what will be one of our most exciting auctions ever with some of the most rare and desirable vehicles being sold. We’re delighted to see a younger breed of collectors emerging at our annual Palm Beach event.”
