records were set on Day 7 as Barrett-Jackson
experienced its best Friday in history. The day
began with the Automobilia Auction, where
a large impeccable Ferrari neon dealership
sign was the top seller, crossing the block
for $95,450. The action kicked into high
gear and it didn’t stop until the last car
crossed the block. The pace, the people and
the enthusiasm were unprecedented, with
continued record attendance.

The charity moments at any Barrett-
Jackson auction are always exciting and
often emotional, but it’s safe to say Friday
in Scottsdale was off the charts, and
undoubtedly one of the most significant in
the company’s more than 50-year history.
Barrett-Jackson Chairman and CEO Craig
Jackson and President Steve Davis drove the
excitement as a 2021 Shelby Super Snake
Count’s Kustoms Edition, with 100 percent of
the hammer price benefiting Camp Freedom,
Inc., brought in $350,000 and pushed The
World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions over
the $150 million mark in funds raised for
worthy causes since the company’s inception.
As is tradition, all auction fees are waived for
these important sales.

Joining the Mustang for this momentous
occasion was the day’s second charity car, a
2023 Ford F-150 Lightning 4x4 Super Crew
Pickup. The special truck left folks cheering
as the gavel fell on $275,000, with 100%
of the hammer price going to the Fighter
Country Foundation, which supports the
men, women and families of Luke Air Force
Base in Arizona.
SUPER SATURDAY IN SCOTTSDALE
From the moment gates opened on Day 8
of Barrett-Jackson’s 2023 Scottsdale Auction
there was no shortage of supercharged thrills
and amazing automobiles! A 2020 Ford GT
Carbon Series was the first vehicle to reach
— and surpass — the million-dollar mark,
selling for $1,320,000. Sales continued
to reach for the stars, with additional
showstoppers joining the million-dollar-plus
club: a 2019 Ford GT sold for $1,320,000, a
1989 Ferrari F40 sold for $2,750,000; and a
2005 Porsche Carrera GT for $1,595,000.
