A 1965 Aston Marin DB5 sold for $1,485,000 as the top result at the 2017 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale collector car auctions. A second million-dollar-plus result was achieved when a 1960 Chevrolet Engineering Research Vehicle (CERV) 1 sold for $1,320,000. Barrett-Jackson set 30 new model records while an impressive $2.2 million was also collected for charity.

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2017 Sale

Barrett-Jackson’s mammoth 46th Scottsdale collector car and automobilia sales were held over nine days from 14 to 22 February 2017 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nearly 320,000 people attended the nine-day auction.

As usual, Barrett-Jackson offered all kinds of vehicles from fairly common cars to rare muscle cars and American racers. There are usually some jewels hidden in between and Barrett-Jackson again succeeded in surprising the collector car market with some stunning results – this year an Aston Martin DB5 sold at the highest price paid since 2014.

In 2017, Barrett-Jackson earned $102.4 million: nearly $100 million from the 1719 cars and $2.5 million for more than 1800 lots of automobilia. The sell-through rate was a very impressive 99.5%- In 2016, Barrett-Jackson grossed $105 million and offered 1,469 cars for sale.

Million-Dollar Cars at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2017

Barrett-Jackson sold two cars for over a million dollars at the 2017 Scottsdale collector car auctions:

Aston Martin prices have been increasing steadily at recent auctions. After three Aston Martin DB5s sold for over a million dollar in 2014, many more tested the market in 2015 and 2016. However, the first standard Aston Martin DB5 to achieve in excess of a million dollar was only at RM Sotheby’s Arizona sale 2017 when a 1965 Aston Martin DB5 sold for $1,045,000.

A few hours later and only a few miles down the road, Barrett-Jackson took $1,485,000 for a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 at its Scottsdale 2017 sale. This rare factory left-hand-drive example came from a prominent collection and is a matching numbers example in top condition. Expect to see many more DB5s at auctions in 2017.

Barrett-Jackson achieved a strong $1,320,000 for the 1960 Chevrolet Engineering Research Vehicle (CERV) 1. This car was developed between 1959 and 1960 by Zorka Arkus-Duntov as a mid-engine, open-wheel racing car.

Although never raced, the car served as an engineering test bed to develop and refine Chevrolet body, chassis and suspension systems.

Other Results at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2017

Justin Bieber’s 2011 Ferrari 458A few further noteworthy results at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2017 auctions:

  • Justin Bieber’s 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia sold for $434,500 – a new world record for the model even if the price included concert tickets and a backstage pass (use not obligatory!)
  • Just missing out on the top-ten, a new model record was set when a 1965 Volkswagen Type II 21-Window Deluxe Bus sold for $302,500. This VW bus was professionally restored to an exceptionally high standard – the average Samba bus is not going to make a quarter million in forthcoming sales.
  • A new model record was also set when a 1956 Austin Princess sold for $159,000. This car belonged to John Lennon and failed to sell at the RM Sotheby’s London 2016 sale with a highest bid of £135,000 – $180,000 at the time.

Three noteworthy cars that failed to sell:

  • 2011 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport – the highest $1.9 million bid was not enough to by Floyd Mayweather’s white Bugatti.
  • A 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible received an unsuccessful highest bid of $1.6 million.
  • A 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Spider Conversion received a highest bid of $575,000 – the four unmolested berlinettas at other auction houses also failed to sell.

Barrett-Jackson generally follows a collector car auction schedule independent of the other major auction houses. Its next major auctions are Palm Beach in April, Northeast in Connecticut in June and Las Vegas in October.
