The 46th year of Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale totaled $102.4 million in sales in Scottsdale, consigning a total of 1,719 vehicles during the week of classic cars.
The Scottsdale auction was held from Jan. 14 to 22 at WestWorld of Scottsdale. This year’s auction broke 40 world auction sales records and raised $2.2 million for charity.
One of the charity car highlight sales was when rock star Steven Tyler sold his 2012 Hennessey Venom GT Spyder for $800,000 with all proceeds benefiting Janie’s Fund.
His car wasn’t the only stunning car at the auction. Take a look at these photos we took at the Barrett-Jackson auction this year:
